Oh the anxiety 😬

Stress of planning? Stress of public speaking? Stress of being married? All of it?! Lol. The more you get locked into place, the easier it gets, but no the anxiety never fully goes away until after the ceremony lol

I definitely think it comes in peaks and valleys!! Sometimes I was super overwhelmed with wedding planning tasks & deadlines, and then I'd have a "planning lull" for a month or two!

My best advice is to just focus on the next task on your list, tackle things one at a time and fully cross them off your to-do list (instead of trying to do a million things at once!)

These articles have great de-stressing tips as well:

I really, really want to tell you it just completely goes away 🥴 It definitely gets better, though! As you're able to check more things off, it starts to feel much more manageable. It's also so great to hear that you already have such a wonderful support system! That's huge.

Good luck, and hang in there 💛

Wedding planning is stressful. There's no way around that. Even the most low-key weddings have their share of stress. What I can tell you is that as you accomplish things on your list - booking vendors, finding the stress, sending invitation, etc. - the stress will start to ebb away. Each time you check something off your list, you'll feel better, and just keep reminding yourself that it WILL all be worth it in the end. It sounds as though you already have a good network of support when you need it. Trust me, take it when it's offered.
