Feeling a little panicked .... 6 days out (pic heavy)

Nicole, on September 14, 2019 at 1:22 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 1 4
My wedding (ceremony & reception) are being held 5 hours from my home. I’ve only been there once, it’s my FH’s best friends lodge and my FH helped a lot with building it. It was offered to us for free and our family will all be able to stay there w is. I’m excited and happy about it all! Love the location but not gonna lie, I’m super busy w work, side job, 3 kids and planning so I haven’t been able to get up there again to check where I’d want everything to go. Right now I’m winging it with both caterer and DJ as to location of where everything will go. Best option was ceremony outside next to where there’s a covering w fire place I’m it and dinner will be served under covering. Then reception inside where there’s a dance floor and everything. DJ will be outside for ceremony and first dance outside then some music during cocktail hour boy will move equipment upstairs during dinner. Two things pose unease for me now. Dinner music? Not a huge deal I’m sore we can steam something but it is something to think about. And of dinner tables are all outside where will people sit that don’t want to dance during reception inside? I know there’s some seating options but I don’t know. It’s a small wedding of 48 people. 35 adults and 13 kids, close friends and family. I just want everyone to have fun. I know I’m over stressing, I seriously can’t breath sometimes and my dr just prescribed xanex! I’ve never been like this or had the need for any of that but I feel crazy right now. I’m so nervous and seriously have dreams every night of things going wrong 😭

pic 2-3 are covering area where dinner would be held
pic 4-5 is side area I was going to have ceremony (hard to see beauty w all the snow)
pic 6-8 is inside/upper level where reception/party will be

open to reasonable suggestions as it’s next weekend! Thanks so much!

    FH is willing to do ANYTHING for me to help ease my mind and relax but I have so much trouble asking for help. He’s already working his ass off to pay for everything (me too but him much more). Just wish I felt more relaxed

    I would definitely plan to just stream some instrumental music for the wedding, which should make it stress free for you and the DJ.

    As for seating, can you bring a few chairs from others parts of the lodge? Since it's such a cozy feeling place I'm thinking some sitting chairs here and there with small tables. You don't really need much, just enough for adults and kids who need to get off their feet for a few. Some of your guests may enjoy time outside as well for fresh air or a quieter experience for a few moments. If the tables are already outside then you're all set. You have a small enough group that you should be fine getting people to enjoy all you absolutely stunning venue has to offer to views, food, and entertainment.

    Breathe! We all stress because we have been told that the perfect wedding is supposed to be every little girl's dream. But the perfect wedding is the one where you are marrying the person you truly want to spend the rest of you life with. The ceremony is the big draw, the rest is a party and no party should cause any of us that much stress. Remember why you're throwing this party and be kind to yourself. Your wedding is going to be incredible and I can't wait for the pictures!

    I stole that from my FW. I stressed so much until she reminded me our wedding is about joy and the rest is just a party. So rock it out and enjoy!!!
