Most Frustrating Part of Planning?

The colors. Haven’t gotten to the rsvp stage yet but I imagine it’s like hell on earth

The opinions! I haven't had trouble picking out anything that no one had an opinion on. But once parental opinions come into play, I get so stressed!

The guest list. Who did we really want to share our special mommet with us.

All of it. Can't think of a single thing that hasn't stressed me out. Beyond ready to just be married.

The seating chart! I have single spots left all over the place! Driving me bananas!

I think it has to be, my soon to be groom not helping. I eat, breath, and sleep wedding all day every day. Besides working and taking care of my daughter. While he just looks at me with this IDK look on his face.

So far, it's been deciding on the guest list. We took forever to do it because my mom kept wanting to add people, and FH's parents kept wanting to add people (they aren't paying). I had to keep reminding my mom that our hall has an absolute limit of 180 people. Guess how many people are on our guest list?

I'm really wondering how much hair I'll pull out when RSVPs start coming back, though. I've seen lots of people venting about weird/rude responses from their guests!

Now that mine has passed, it was:

1) Continually going over budget (why do weddings cost so much?)

2) RSVPs (lack of response, no shows, etc)

Guest list and unsolicited opinions, for sure.

Also unpredictable mishaps... our church was double booked and we scrambled to find a new one. Thankfully we did and it worked out for the better.

Getting my bridesmaids pay for dresses in full and setting up alterations. life is busy and I feel like a Shepard getting them to this final point. besides that was picking a venue that fit into our budget >_<

Waiting to do projects that I know are coming.

We've been planning for a long time and there are some things that have to wait for the 7/1, 8/1. 9/1 paycheck.

I am so beyond waiting for this stuff at this point!

I can definitely understand, as you want to ensure to include specific people, while also not forgetting to invite anyone!

Oh my, I can only imagine how frustrating this is! Hang in there; things will fall together!!

Oh man. For me it had to be the opinions, guest list, RSVP follow ups and no-shows. It seemed like we constantly were setting boundaries with family members for 2 years. I'm so glad it's behind us now!

Guest List!

First it was too big, then we cut it down and sides of family were angry not everyone was making the cut that they thought should be there so then we added more people to the list and now I'm stressed about having a big wedding!

It'll be beautiful and fun, but every other aspect of wedding planning has been easy, except deciding who should be there!

Guest list....

View Quoted Comment I’ll second that! And even when I don’t ask!!! So annoying!

also, bridal party drama!! Oh the bridal party drama....my advice is take your time and choose wisely!!! Keep it small as well!!! Weddings bring out the worst and best in people so give it time and think about who supports you and loves you!

So far none of it is frustrating. We both easily agreed on an all inclusive venue in Vegas and made sure to make the guest list pretty small. I bought the 3rd dress I tried on which actually fit me perfect so I took it home that day. We have made decisions quickly on everything and have no regrets. We haven't heard back from a few rsvp's but we have more time and at this point we are counting them as no's which we expected since it is a DW.

Pretty much the only thing that is semi frustrating is my mom trying to shove her opinions down my throat and asking for more details than I want to share but I put my foot down early and have just laughed it off.

Worrying about FMIL's opinions.

Also, one vendor has been extremely bad about responding, and when she does, she never gets the contracts properly corrected. I told her 12 people and over the month she has wrote 13, 15, and 10

Good advice! I agree! You should definitely closely consider who you want to include!
