What part planning is stressing you out most?

The god damn seating chart.

The cake has been stressing me because we have a very different design we want and I'm super picky!

@KDoubleU I admit I haven't gotten to that part yet but the little I dabbled it's not gunna be fun!

Finding a venue. Once we booked that so far everything else has fallen into place fairly easily (fingers crossed it continues this smoothly).

@GardenParty18 ya my FH has ideas for the cake but I shoot them all down because I know he doesn't really care about the cake so I'm picking it. He'll have a say on the flavors

The dang guest list.... It's at 250 right now.. Our venue can hold up to 400 but I honestly wasn't expecting our list to be this big.

I would have to say the seating chart is stressing me out with all the different family dynamics, who hates who, who divorced who, ect. Lol

@LacieM our guest list keeps growing because my FH doesn't know how to tell people no! I know the feeling.

It hasn't been stressful until last week. I am feeling the overwhelming weight of bringing all the details together and I am getting a little anxious.

Op- If you have a Kroger or Kings soopers in your area, check them out for the flowers. That is where I finally booked mine and they are beautiful and a fraction of the cost!

@Meg, have you tried the seating chart planning tool on WW? That's what I used for mine and it was actually really easy :-)

So far everything is fine. The photographer was super stressful for a little but nothing compared to the stress of dealing with FH's mom and sister. They have been fighting him the whole time. FH and I have joined therapy to help handle the stress and how to deal with his mom and sister. My mom suggested that we go together because what they are doing is wrong and not treating FH right at all. My mom has already fought with FH's mom because the mama bear came out because she is making our lives difficult!

@Sanok2Be! That sound terrible! I am so sorry you are going through this.

@Tori Our problem is parents adding in work friends that we don't really know and then mom insisting I invite certain relatives that I have seen in years.

By far the most stressful part of planning has been dealing with family. My parents are super duper conservative and its been a really difficult dance with them about having alcohol at the wedding. FH and I are still going to do it, and they claim they won't attend if we do so. At this point, it is what it is.

Otherwise, just making all my champagne tastes on my "beer" budget work. Maybe a little more than a beer budget but still!

Most stressful parts have been finances and availability of hotels at wedding location.

We're doing a destination wedding on a small island in Greece and figuring out where to put over 100 out-of-town guests has been stressing me out.

Also, vendors who ask for down payments all at once have been stressing me out!!! lol

Trying to make everyone happy and still have the wedding we want. Interactions with my parents often leave me incredibly angry or in tears. I wish I had said no to their offer to pay for most of the wedding and had eloped and then hosted a party afterwards.

For us, its finding a venue. We are having a hard time; either the venue minimum is outrageous, or hiring a caterer is turning out to be even more than an all inclusive, or this venue has more than one wedding a day, or they charge extra for every little thing.

Thankfully we have narrowed it down to 4 top choices. Its just stressful going to tours and being disappointed, but that's what comes with planning.

@Tori thank you! Therapy has helped a lot and I am happy we are going. Mostly it was for FH because they were really bringing him down and not making the whole wedding planning and being engaged fun for him and I am just go to support him and help him through this. But it has helped me too! Now he is all excited and is enjoying planning!

Our guest list, and telling people they can't have a say in who is invited. FH mom has added 10 more people this weekend and we are up to 175. My parents are paying for the venue and food but they're more comfortable at around 120 guests. So cutting the list is a pain in the ass. I thought I had it all figured out. Everything else is exciting.

Wedding planning can be stressful. More so I think for younger brides. Most younger brides have never hosted a single floral event in their lives, then are suddenly thrust into planning the biggest one of their lives.

@Tori- rather than use artificial flowers for your centerpieces, consider using candles or lanterns. Five Below has lanterns for $5. You can add some greens if you like.
