What Is The Hardest Part Of Wedding Planning

The hardest part for me has been moving from big picture stuff to little details. We have all of our big vendors done, but now I'm trying to come up with smaller details that will make the wedding feel more "us". I don't want my wedding to look like Pinterest threw up everywhere, but I still want a few cute little touches! Narrowing those down and figuring them out is definitely hardest.

Also, letting go of control because our venue won't let us in the night before to set up tables- their staff does it instead. That is really, really stressing my Type-A self out.

So most have said budget, guestlist, venue, catering, and florist.

How about photo/videographer?

Venue was the hardest by far. I basically emailed, called, texted, sent smoke signals to every venue within a 30 mile radius to get quotes. I live in a small (population under 1000) town in Michigan, so it took a while.

If you're picking out a venue, there's still plenty of hard planning ahead.

I do agree that the venue is hard because it dictates your date and is a big part of your budget.

Catering was hard for me and flowers.

Pleasing our guests. Trying to make sure they had a great time!

Having no time! FH wanted a short engagement, but I told him the shortest I would go is 9 months. So it's literally 9 months to the day after his proposal. Every decision is stressful when it has to be made quickly.

At first it was finding a venue. I, like you, had called so many and hardly nobody got back to me. We finally decided on one and made our down payment. What a weight. Now it's figuring out a caterer. The one on the "preferred list" is so expensive. We might just have a restaurant cater and save money. I think once that is done, I'll be stressing out the dress ha

The venue has their own catering I believe that will be a problem too. With catering. I am a picky eater. The place we are leaning toward has a brunch every Sunday s I am about to call and schedule and see if this Sunday I can g with my mom. The manager told me it's good for me that will give me an idea of their food tasting.

I just emailed back one of the 3 we have in mind and probably scratch them out leaving us with 2 now. The timing is a problem. They want us to have 8pm ceremony leaving us to eat dinner at 10 which I find it a late dinner. I never eat that late and if I do I start getting heartburn and sharp pains in my stomach. I email last night if it's possible I can have a 530 ceremony and I just got an email just now saying it's hard to combine an early ceremony and the earliest is to do a 1130 ceremony leaving s with ending the reception at 5pm, Which I didn't like cause that won't give us time. Dealing with the getting dress and my two kids which my DF don't do good with early times. He's always late. On top that early I am sure no one wants to drink. 1130 is too early for me. Just t eat like a pancake or eggs with coffee. I wouldn't even dare drink campaign or anything at 12pm.

That is now leaving us down 2 two places. now

Spending money. its not the money, its the money being spent on the wedding. I have a list a mile long of stuff I want to buy/do but can't because of the wedding. the other hard part for me is trying to be extra considerate of my family bc they are all traveling bc we are having the wedding in FH's hometown and my family has to travel 8-9 hours. I really wish this trip wasn't so expensive for all of them.

For me it's been the budget and the guest list! I had to cut both of them down!

For me it was the budget and the guest list! It had to cut down on both!

Keeping the guest list within venue capacity & sticking to the budget!

For me it's been Guest List. Mainly because we want to invite all our friends but our budget might prevent that. So it's tough to say who gets an invite and who doesn't.

I'm a very Type A person and I'm good at making decisions and keeping it moving. My fiance, however, is not that way, and easily succumbs to analysis paralysis. So allowing him the time he needs to feel comfortable with decisions (while still keeping to our time frame) has required a good deal of patience. But, I'm told that patience comes in handy in a marriage.

A lot of details fell together easily once we chose a venue if that makes you feel better other than that the hardest part has been the guest list (and peoples opinions of the guest list). We wanted it to be intimate, so decided on 50 people, no children.

Trying to be respectful of everyone's opinions and needs (ie mother and mother-in-law) while staying true to what myself and the FH really want!

Staying within my budget. Our bank account has been crying for months. My fiance and I consider going to the JP every so often but then more than just us have invested into our big day. So we cant be selfish. We are just ready for the honeymoon. Me and my Fiance agree that was the only money we spent happily.

Dealing with the fact that I'm having a wedding with double the number of guests than I would like. Also, waiting. Can July get here already?

Invitations...hands down. there are just so many options!

We wanted to keep our wedding small but my family is so large that they take up half our guest list. It has been the hardest thing for us to decide which friends are "higher" than other friends basically. It's no fun not being able to include everyone but you just have to make a line.
