What Is The Hardest Part Of Wedding Planning

IDK what else to do. I email many venues and saw 9. Tomorrow I am only seeing one since a venue I have been emailing only got to me 2 nights ago but didn't respond to my email of me visiting the facility. If we don't have venues booked by Saturday we are just going to pick either the 2 we have liked

Getting started honestly. The first vendor was the venue so i'd say that, but I think if we did another first I'd say that one. I know I felt super overwhelmed trying to figure out how to find them and researching them. However we now have that, our planner, our officiant and photographer and each step it gets a little easier.

Also the money. That part sucks. We still have about 4 or 5 vendors left and already spent 6k. The money part, doesn't get any easier!

Honestly, the planning process has been easy! Vendors have been easy to deal with for the most part and I'm trying not to let myself stress over details that only I'll notice.

The hardest parts have been:

-Spending so much money on one day! And our wedding is relatively cheap!

-Just waiting for the day to get here already! We knew we'd get married long before FH proposed. 240 days to go!

-Putting everything on hold until after the wedding. We want to buy a house, travel, and FH really wants a new mattress. But, it all has to happen after the wedding.

Paying for it. Hands down.

This should be easy, but finding the BM dresses. I'm very picky and I want them to be comfortable. All of them are very modest.

Guest list for sure. My fiancé and I didn't realize how massive our families were until we started to make the guest list. What makes it hard is that everyone has met and knows each other.

Paying the bills.

The whole thing!!!! Hahaha jk. Picking the honeymoon. The destination was easy but i could not commit to a resort

Timeline! If all she does is write me a timeline, my doc is worth every dime!

I think the hardest part is the details. All the big stuff is a little easier to get done but once you get closer to the wedding there are a lot of details and little things you don't think about

I agree finding a venue to accommodate both of our families.

Choosing the venue was tough- and we only toured 4! I think finding my dress was actually the easiest decision ive made so far. but im finding the big decisions to be easier than the details

The guest list and seating chart.

We only want 65 people and it jumped to 75. We want a small, intimate wedding with only our closest friends and family. It meant some family was excluded, simply because we don't really have a relationship with them.

The seating chart was also difficult because I have divorced parents and so many various people don't get along.

Budget all the way

Finding an affordable yet beautiful venue was definitely a challenge in the beginning. Now our biggest challenge is sticking to our budget while still having our dream wedding

My biggest problem has been keeping my head in the game. I have never been a "girly girl" and the details in general are driving me crazy. My FH and I just want a fun bbq party in the backyard. Somehow it's now 165 people, and our moms want the full traditions. Everyone keeps asking me for my opinion, but it's hard when I don't have one because I never thought about it before. So staying on track and trying to get my mind past the simple "small party in the backyard" mentality has definitely been my hardest part of planning.

Cutting down the guest list has been the toughest part for us... bringing it down from 800 to 500

To make it a bit easier, I followed a 12-month timetable and sticked to make sure that there is no cramming and additional stress towards the wedding day
