Severe Bride Brain !!!

Lyndsay, on June 25, 2019 at 12:57 PM Posted in Planning 0 2

We are officially 10 days away from the wedding and I am ridiculously excited, however my bride brain has gone from bad to worse to completely paralyzed. I sit down to do a task, and then spend the next 20 minutes adding things to my to-do list, or going off on a tangent, or emailing a vendor about something. Nothing is getting done! We have spent hours (as in more than 5) listening to songs for our recessional, and yes I realize this should have already been decided! At this point I think we are vetoing songs simply because we are sick of listening to music or don't even remember what we are listening for. I'm trying to edit my vows but I've just decided today that they should probably be re-written from scratch. I'm not listening to my brain on this one but its hard to focus on what exactly I want to change. Every decision is harder than it should be because I can't focus on one thing without thinking about 100 other details and I'm getting stressed about what we have to get done vs how much time we have left.


How do you ladies cope with bride brain??? I'm not sure I'll ever be productive again!


Sincerely, I don't even remember my name

    Bridal brain is so real ahah I remember all these things I forgot to do or whatever. Like I FORGOT NAPKINS for our diy snack hour. HOW DID I FORGET NAPKINS. My mom was the one that was like what about napkins?
    Anyway, it's best to write a list and do an inventory check just in case you're missing things

    Girl I feel you hahahaha. A couple weeks before the wedding I spelled "table" wrong on about a dozen escort cards -.- It happens to the best of us, lol!

    My best advice is to just allow yourself to make decisions and to then let things go. For your vows, I think you should just leave them as they are. You will probably only confuse yourself further by rewriting them at this point. I literally wrote about 20 versions of my vows over the course of the year leading up to my wedding. About 2 months before the wedding, I completely rewrote them. 2 weeks before the wedding, I looked back at the older versions and realized, version 1, from a year ago, was actually the best one. Trust the "you" that wrote those vows BEFORE bride brain kicked in! And remember that things like recessional songs will not matter long-term. Don't make yourself crazy over small things... just pick something and move on!
