Starting to get stressed!!!!!!!! 8 months to go!

Me too, I thought I had a lot done until I started making a list of what I still need to get.

View Quoted Comment It's so stressful! I get really anxious when I see all of this on my list left to do but there are just some things I can't do until later and that causes major anxiety for me!

My wedding is 7 months away and you are more together than me. So kuddos to you girl!! ☺️

I'm less than four months out and I haven't done any planning in months. We had gone back and forth on cancelling and eloping and this past weekend decided that we planned the wedding we wanted and to go through with it. So now I'm trying to scramble to get everything done in time. I go to look for my dress this weekend, my sister/MOH is ordering her dress this weekend, and we will probably be telling our groomsmen to get a light gray suit of their choosing. We have a meeting with our venue this week to figure out where we're at and to start finalizing menu and other details with them. Part of me is definitely starting to freak out that I'm so short on time and I slacked off for months.

You definitely have a lot done, girl, don't stress yourself out.

Your FH should ask his groomsmen within the next few months. You want to make sure they have enough time to plan on coming and being able to pay for their outfits.

And you don't need to remind your bridesmaids about their dresses until a few weeks before the wedding, if at all. They're all adults and if you're allowing them to choose their own dresses, then let them be. Some people will be really on top of it and purchase their dress in advance, while others may wait until the month before. It's not like your dress where you have order them way in advance necessarily. If they end up not following through, then they can come as a guest. Simple as that.

You are well ahead of the game, but I definitely feel the stress too! I would say he should probably ask soon. That will be one less thing to worry about once it's done.

Girl you’re way ahead of the game! Just take a week or two to relax! I literally booked our venue, sent save the dates, and then started looking for dresses for the girls and all that kind of stuff last summer and then I kind of didn’t plan anything for three months besides little things. I’d do the fun things like the registry, and putting together a list of people for my shower.

My buggest thing is I didn’t want to SOLELY focus on the wedding for 11 months and then once the wedding happens have no clue what to do with myself or what to talk to FH about. So i decided not to get too worked up over things, not to work too far ahead (which is the hardest thing for me..) and to try my best to remain stress free. So far 4 months before the wedding and I’m pretty stress free. If something is bothering me, or stressing me out I just go ahead and get it done. This past weekend I told FH we would start on the wedding music sheet, work on finishing up the website and finalize invitations. Well guess what, we finished all that and even bought a few decor items at hobby lobby! not stressing now. This is supposed to be an enjoyable time! ❤️

I would not remind the gurls about their dresses, but maybe say hey I was wondering where you are all at in your search, let me know if you need any help. As for the guys, FH asked them about 9 months before.

View Quoted Comment I pretty much got everything that I possibly could done last year and took a break from September until this month. So I had a nice long break from the planning, which I think really is important so we don't drive ourselves crazy!

Like you said this is supposed to be an enjoyable time and I want to make sure I am enjoying it. But don't want to be behind either! I know how fast time moves during planning! Thank you for your advice! ❤️

OMG your post just freaked me out and made me realize i have 7 months to go. I have been on top of everything up until i slowed down during the holidays. I've been trying to determine bridesmaid dresses this month and my FH hasn't even selected all of his groomsmen. I'm planning my sons first birthday party so wedding planning is still on the back burner. I got very comfortable knowing i booked all my vendors by the end of last summer.
