Overwhelmed when did you feel it?

I'm starting to feel really overwhelmed less then 60 days to go and I'm on top of things but I'm feeling the stress. When did it start for you? On top of it work about to get busier with training a new person and other stuff.

    @AmyL - happy to keep ya smiling! I just finished hand painting the glasses we are giving to the entire wedding party. We are just waiting on the last 50 RSVPs or so (8/27 deadline), so we are planning and shopping for numbers including those 50 (realistically, maybe 6 more will decline from convos I've had). We already know about at least 10 crashers (we are totally cool with). So, no more waiting on numbers here - we are going full throttle until September! (back to work, taking classes, tutoring groups and final wedding touches come Sept.)

    September is going to be so busy! I can't believe it's Aug 1st. I hope to cross a lot off my list today. Wow @jet you already got so many back we only sent our invites out 10 days ago we've gotten about 30 back out of almost 200.

    There are a LOT of OOT guests on my side, so we sent ours mid-June (not every guest got Save the dates), so they have been out for a little while. But they came back fast at first. I have had a few people call and tell me that they are 90% sure but there is one ball up in the air still...We don't have a caterer, so we can fudge our numbers all we need to. Mom and I are prepping the food and have hired cooks and servers for the day of.

    When my I saw my MOH a few weeks ago and she said "Oh my gosh, do you realize we're EXACTLY three months away?" and then I had a two-week-long panic attack over all of the things we still need to hammer out and may or may not have wound up in tears several times over basically nothing...but my super awesome FH and MOH are just the best friends ever so they've really calmed me down a lot, but at least it kicked my butt into gear over all of the little details! I'm assuming I'll have another anxiety attack next month. I'm a pretty neurotic person in general. I know it will be worth it though!

    The anxious, overwhelmed feelings started when my countdown hit 45 days. I looked at the calendar & my plan and started getting hot and jittery! All of the big things are paid for and finished but its the small stuff that is more time consuming than we realize!!

    I haven't gotten overwhelmed at all, but I've still got some time... ask again around the beginning of May! I purposely tried to get as much out of the way as possible to avoid the stress of the wedding planning. We have our reception venue, ceremony space, photographer, Epix,DJ and my dress all booked with deposits paid by the start of May. So I've kinda taken the summer off and am enjoying it before I start looking more at florists and bridesmaid dresses next month.

    The night before I felt overwhelmed but not with stuff to do. I don't like being the center of attention and the night before we had an informal party at my mom's house for OOT guests to watch fireworks. It was really fun but everyone kept talking to me and asking what they could do to help, etc. I had to leave and drive back to my house for something I forgot just to get out of there, it was too much.

    Started feeling it at about 60 days before the wedding and then again right before the bridal shower. I think the whole wedding is just bringing out all kind of emotions out of me. lol

    7 days!

    And not once did I feel overwhelmed with any part of the wedding planning. It's all in your head and the sooner you embrase the IDGAF mentality the easier it will be for you.

    I hit a spell at 3 months that was just downright ugly. I feel much better about it now.

    I started feeling overwhelmed about a month ago, and my date is late next year. I'm deciding on eloping or have a small intimate wedding.

    I started feeling overwhelmed about 2 weeks ago when I did the timeline with our planner. They literally had to stop and ask if I was okay....I sat there and felt like the whole room was spinning and I tuned them out completely. Haha it's pretty funny thinking about it now

    Yesterday when I realized there is only 6 months left and it seems like each month is busier than the next. This month I'm moving & September & October are already completely booked. Where is all my time going?

    About two months before the wedding, I started stressing out because that's when all the phone calls and special requests and weird questions started. The phone was ringing off the hook and was making me batty. I had a meltdown (or two) and the WW girls helped me through it.

    Ladies who are having stress...you can do this. Breathe.

    I would say it really hit me at the 3 month mark. We still had some big things to cross off the list, plus a bunch of little things and I was in a panic. Now with 3 weeks left there's not a whole lot left to do but I'm still freaking out a little. I kind of can't wait until it's all over.

    98 days and I'm starting to have "the dreams" lol. Nothing major...my dress being wrinkled, forgetting my veil, etc. Smiley sad

    I'll be starting a new job in 2 weeks and so I'll be really overwhelmed soon.

    We are 2 weeks from tonight and I JUST started horrendously panicking and having serious anxiety the other day... and now its just constant. I'm feeling super behind. i tried doing the rose petal cones and it took an hour to do 1 with my fiance and my bridesmaid.. ended up just buying something different. Sept is such a perfect time for a wedding :o)
