What do you do with a lull?

Tara , on September 2, 2017 at 11:32 AM Posted in Planning 0 6

FH and I have hit a huge planning lull. As in we haven't booked or looked at any of the things we still need to get settled for the wedding in a couple of months. Neither of us have the energy to do it right now (the semester just started up again as well). Does anyone have any advice on how to continue tackling the to do list? Or how to get excited about planning again?

    I think it's fine to have a lull. Check the checklist. If your on time for everything great, if not address those things. And if you want a restart look at the next things on your list.

    I'm a student as well just starting the graduate program and I found this difficult to plan the wedding as well as finish up my last semester as a bachelor student in the summer. However I made a list of everything and put it on my planner so I can physically see things that I need to do or that need to be done and I prioritize so each week in the margin I would write the things that needed to be done for that week and what didn't get done I kept moving to the next week or things like that. the key to getting started is to just start. I would even tell myself don't touch anything wedding-related until you finish such-and-such assignment or after you finish looking up whatever you're looking up for the wedding start your homework word things like that.

    Your wedding is in May. I don't think there's anything wrong with taking a couple weeks, hell a month, to just enjoy each other and breathe, especially if you've been on a planning spree and are just running out of gas.

    Maybe plan (there's that word again) a nice long weekend for the two of you? Or even a regular weekend? Or a Saturday get-away somewhere to re-charge? FH and I do that at least twice a year: take off half a day on a Friday and book some quaint B&B for the weekend. Most of the time we end up just staying out room lounging around in our underwear and indulging in tasty food and beverages. We've really begun looking forward to them.

    I think looking at your list and carving out time to address them is super important. Amongst your busy schedules it may be difficult but write it in your planner, set a reminder.

    @Olivia we still have a lot

    We put a deposit on a photographer but haven't signed a contract, we think we have a caterer (haven't signed a contract with them yet), we need a florist, DJ, an officiant, hair and make up artist, FH's attire, rentals for the venue/ceremony, and invitations,
