Losing Interest

Hi all!
We eloped last year because of covid, but we still have a traditional wedding+reception planned for this fall. Half of everything has been paid for and the big things are ready to go... But... I'm losing interest in this wedding. My fiance supports what he thinks is "my dream," my mother hates weddings, and my best friends are either disillusioned with relationships or already married...
Without anyone who cares other than me, why am I doing all this work and spending another $10k? I'm sad, and I'm losing steam. Any advice for how to proceed with the planning process? This whole thing now just feels like a burden I made for myself because I just wanted a big party...

If it's within the budget, I would get a wedding planner! They can help with the rest of the planning/take it off your plate. This way as you see things coming together (that you didn't have to do) you'll get excited all over again!

If it helps, I'm excited for you & know your day will be super special 💓💓

No advice, but we canceled our reception for basically the same reason. It would have taken place over a year after we had been married and it just felt like a waste of resources. We did end up losing a few thousand in non-refundable deposits, but were able to use a couple contracts for other events (cake and florals for my sister’s baby shower, beer burros into an educational event for our church’s VBS). We ultimately put the money into extending our honeymoon this summer and I’m SO much more excited about it. Maybe we’ll do a big party for a vow renewal down the road, but this plan just felt more “right” to us.

While planning my wedding it’s was times where I just felt “I’m over it!” It’s a lot especially with no help. When no one seems excited that can just make the feeling worse. Like someone said maybe getting a wedding planner would help. Sometimes I just take a couple days to not plan it think about the wedding and then pick back up. If you’re excited that’s all that counts! It’s your day! It will all be worth it at the end! Hope everything works out!
