Wedding a little over three months away and I'm so behind on planning.

AnonBride, on December 19, 2019 at 7:22 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

I am feeling very stressed with how much I still have to do and how little time I have to do it. Our wedding is a little over three months away. I have the venue and dress. Photographer and videographer are booked. Save the dates sent. We only just recently picked the bridesmaids' dress.

Our venue is all inclusive so our caterer, DJ, florist, and baker all have our date reserved, but I still need to make appointments to actually go over the menu, taste the cake, decide on the flowers, etc.

Haven't ordered invitations yet. My groom and his groomsmen have not ordered their attire. Haven't created a registry. Haven't booked hair/makeup. Haven't decided on decor, linens, centerpieces, etc. Don't have shoes or accessories yet. My MOH wants to know when I want to do the bachelorette party, and another bridesmaid says she wants to throw me a shower and is asking for when to do it and who to invite. It's difficult to figure out a date for the bachelorette party and bridal shower considering one of my bridesmaids and a lot of my family members are across the country.

Also we haven't put together our wedding website, which we need to do because we are planning on including a link to it in our invitations with all the FAQs about accommodations, registry, etc.

Please reassure me that it's possible to get all this done in such a short amount of time? :/

    Definitely possible, but you should get started now. Make calls and start getting things checked off the list. But you can’t be indecisive.

    It is definitely possible, but you need to start figuring out these things ASAP. I would book a hair and makeup artist immediately. As for bridesmaids dresses, a lot of people like Azazie. I personally didn't my dresses from them, but they have a ton of options and they are pretty reasonably priced. They have the option to try on before you buy. I would pick out bridesmaids dresses then have the guys get their attire as groomsmen often match what the bridesmaids wear. My suggestion is to start making decisions quickly and don't be indecisive.

    You have your list, make time to chip away at it. Organize your list on things that need to get done asap to things that could wait. I just spent a few hours each nice after work getting this together. I think its very possible especially since you don't have to coordinate all the vendors. Definitely start registry - Amazon is easy because you can do it from your house or even a cash site (even though people think its rude, its 2019), you could do the invites next. I wouldn't spend too much time putting together a wedding website. Just give them the quick and dirty details. You could always go back later and add more details if you had the time.


    I honestly didn't taste the cake or anything. I live in TX my wedding is in Vegas. They sent us the catering and cake list and we picked based off the descriptions. May need to make an appointment for flowers, but maybe you could email the florist inspo pics and they could create a look for your wedding.
    I would say next work on makeup/hair and groom/bridal party outfits.
    It is hard to plan a shower and bachelorette party when you don't live in the same state. Could you fly to them for one weekend and do it all in that weekend?
    Its possible, but you just need to work on something for the wedding each day.

    I’m sorry to hear you’re stressing! It’s definitely possible for you to get all this done. You’ve got the main vendors booked and just need to start chipping away at the rest.


    Write a list of all the things you need to do by priority and start working through it. If there is anything specific you need help or advice on, please reach out to the community. That’s the purpose of it, to help one another through our planning!


    You’ve got this!

    It's absolutely doable!! You just need to prioritize your tasks. You should try to book your remaining vendors (hair and makeup), as their dates sometimes fill up fast. Wedding Wire (along with other wedding sites) has a checklist that puts things in order for timing purposes. Check that out if you're not sure what the next steps should be. Things like decor can usually wait a bit longer, because you're not ordering something that takes time to come in, like attire. Get FH helping you with the men's attire. There are places like Generation Tux and The Black Tux that allow your men to input their sizes on the website, then order a suit to try on at home. My FH did this and it was so easy!!! And free!! Same can be done with BM dresses. Azazie is a good site, as well as Brideside.

    Don't worry, just breathe!! Take one thing at a time, so as not to get overwhelmed.

    Absolutely possible! I planned my entire wedding in 10 weeks by myself. It sounds like you know exactly what you still need to do so prioritize and start checking them off.
