More Stressed

I think people just ask that because they are excited for you.

but it is stressful for sure because it makes you realize how much left there is to do and how much time left to do it

Most of the time, others aren't thinking about how stressed out you must be. They are only thinking about how excited they are for you! They mean well.

But I would turn off notifications, as you suggested, to give yourself some space from all the well-wishers until the wedding.

Yes! I am 8 days away and my coworker has a sticky note countdown that is driving me crazy. My male coworkers mention every single time they walk by cubicle how many days and don’t do it you still have time to back out and it is absolutely driving me crazy. I just want people to shut up. I am super stressed and have so much to do still and getting reminded of it every 20 mins at work is making me go bonkers!

View Quoted Comment Yeah, I’m pretty positive they don’t mean to add stress, but hearing it from multiple people just got to me today. I feel a little bit better right now, got our guest room mostly together. Still need to order curtains for the closet and actually move the bed in (I’m still sleeping in that one at my parents until the week before).
My granny hemmed 2 of my bridesmaids’ dresses, I got them steamed today. But there’s still a lot to go.

Maybe they're just as excited for your big day. I personally don't mind when someone tells me "Omg you have 4 days left" etc. I don't think it's intentional to add stress

Personally no. I like how they're just as excited as I am. It's a fun time. My coworkers have been counting down for me for the passed week. It makes me feel more thrilled for the day!

They're just excited for you.

The day will be here soon enough and everything will work out, even if it feels like it comes down to the last minute or some stuff never fully gets planned in advance. It will come together, you will marry your person, and it will be AMAZING.

Also thanks for being a rockstar teacher during these crazy times.

Oh yes slightly! It reminds me of all the things I still have to do lol

View Quoted Comment Yep, and I think it’s more bothersome from the people I’m not really close to, like we don’t talk at all except when they ask how the planning is coming and remind me how close it is.
