Planned too much? Too soon?

Krystle, on June 6, 2019 at 8:39 AM Posted in Planning 0 9
So, My FH and I got engaged in September of 2018, we set a date of October 12,2019.
Our wedding is planned and paid for we have all of our decorations and venders, flowers everything! Is done lol we have 127 days till our big day and everything is done. I am excited, but there is nothing left too do lol Bridal shower is in July, Bachelor/ Bachelorette party's the first weekend of October/ last weekend in September.

🤷‍♀️ I am glad it's done but, now it's hard to sit still. I am starting to second guess my colors, songs ect.

    I'd say just don't look at any of your stuff anymore, enjoy being engaged! I definitely don't think you did too much too soon, I'm all about getting things planned and done ASAP, so just take advantage of the fact that the rest of the time leading up to your big day will be stress free!

    I agree with PP. I would take the remaining time to simply enjoy being engaged. I think a lot of couples don't do that enough during wedding planning.

    This is the blessing and the curse of being a super planner- second guessing!

    Make an effort not to look at wedding things anymore. You have your plans and it will be easier to stick to them than to waste extra money changing things. Now is a good time to relax, keep lists organized, and just enjoy your summer!

    That’s definitely totally normal lol. We were engaged for a year and a half but only planning the wedding for a year (I was still in school for the first 6 months so I didn’t start planning until after I graduated) but even in that 1 year period, my husband jokes that I planned at least 5 different weddings because of how many times I’d changed my mind and changed things 😂

    My best advice is to try to push wedding stuff out of your mind for a couple months (tricky, I know!) but really try to relax and enjoy time with your fiancé. Once we hit the 2 month mark, things suddenly got so crazy busy that husband and I had no time to ourselves to go on dates or relax, so instead of planning 5 different weddings like I did (lol) I’d advise just trusting yourself, remembering that you made those choices for a reason, and give yourself a month or so of a mental break from it all!

    I was in your boat. I had most of our wedding vendors booked and I was buying little gifts and things needed for the wedding like every week. However, at one point I had nothing to do so i focused on the bacherlorette party. Although my bridal party chose the house (it was a surprise), i got together the them and outfits. I wanted us to be coordinated so I was able to pause on wedding things and focus on my bach party.

    You did a great job! For us, we were pretty much planned by 4-5 months out. It let us truly enjoy our bachelor & bachelorette parties, my bridal shower, and focus on our honeymoon.

    I think it's actually kind of nice you got it done so early because you can just focus on other things beyond the wedding or you can double check everything. i sometimes wish i had more time. but i do totally understand your fear of second guessing your choices because i totally did that. last minute i decided to add something in and take something out and i sort of wish i thought of it before because now i'll have some things i won't be using.

    Wow! That was fast. I planned to spread things out. We are date twins and engagement month twins! Smiley tongue I go on vacation the last two weeks of June so I plan on accomplishing buying and making decor after that. I didn't want to sit and wait around, but this is definitely the more fun stuff than booking vendors! So you really have everything? Bridesmaid gifts, parent gifts, wedding bands, garter, veil, jewelry, tuxes picked, shoes bought, invitations sent, honeymoon picked & booked, makeup and hair trials done?
