What was your first stressful planning moment?

Definitely the guest list! We had way to many people on there and had to seriously cut back!

We found out his friends moved their wedding back a year...and chose the same date we'd just booked.

When we were looking for a venue and a few told us they "might" have something else going on that day. Even after we traveled to see one of them. One venue just was awful and not at all like they described. One didnt have heat. And one wouldn't book us til 3 or 4 months out.
The one we finally chose, had to reschedule us twice, and then we got a group tour with an angry couple and their MOB.

Guest list for sure… there were quite a few people I didn't want to invite that my mom insisted on having

When I found out my FSIL didn't like the date we picked, because it's during the school year. This made FH upset, which then made me stressed.

The guest list for sure

In the year+ we have been engaged, everything has gone really smooth until last month. We found out FMIL has pancreatic cancer and now I am terrified she will be either too sick to make it or won't be around...we have discussed doing a small courthouse ceremony with just the parents early but I also don't want her to think that we think she won't make it through this.

Venue. We both loved the same venue, even though the didn’t have any of the dates we originally wanted, so that wasn’t an issue, but then came the issue of the ceremony. Our venue doesn’t have a good weather backup plan and his mom loved the idea of a church ceremony. I’m not Catholic and neither is any of my family. I agreed to it, but I was nervous about telling my family. All worked out very well though!

I will have to say so far it was booking a venue

Food and flowers to be honest😂

For FH probably the budget lol for me I would say people asking for an invite.

The catering company!! What’s so hard about having Beef Brisket and Chicken??

Our guest list! Our original list was way larger than we could afford so a lot of cuts had to be made!

Probably dress shopping. It wasn't stressed until I felt like the consultant was being really pushy and not listening to me. Other than that we've had a fee stressful budget talks.

My dad tried to pick a bunch of fights with me because he thinks the wedding should be different. But he’s not paying so I told him to quit complaining or I wouldn't let him walk me down the aisle anymore

The guest list! Which was my FMIL's fault. She thought this wedding was about her and wanted to invite everyone she has ever met... I had to come up with a polite way to tell her no.

Getting started planning at all. I found out days after we got engaged that I’d be losing my job later that month, plus we were in the middle of buying a house. The stress from those two things was enough to make me think we’d be lucky to have a 2019 courthouse elopement (didn’t want for personal reasons, let alone the small boat wedding we’d agreed on prior to getting engaged.

Luckily, I found a job and started it in February, got semi settled financially, and we started planning in April. Seven months is enough time right? Eek!

100% the guest list! My FH's parents filed for divorce about a week after our engagement and it instantly made creating the guest list tough!

Our first stressful planning moment was trying to find time to go look at a venue. We are months and months away even now but I didn't want to pick a date or anything until we knew where and finding time we could go look was slim. At this time of the year in FL most venues only your during the week because weddings are happening on the weekends obviously. Nick is a school teacher and I am an engineer running several construction projects so finding a venue that would let us tour early early on the weekend days or on a day that wasn't a shut down holiday we both had off was a challenge.
