What was your first stressful planning moment?

First stressful moment was when I was searching for a venue, photographer, and videographer. This was at the start of my wedding planning and I was unbelievably stressed that I couldn't find a quality vendor at my budget. Spoiler: I did find quality vendors at a slightly higher price than I wanted to spend, but it was worth it!

Coming up with the money for the down payment for the venue before they booked it to someone else. Money was already a huge source of anxiety for me before we started planning a wedding. So far I've decided that wedding planning is only fun if you're not the one paying for everything..

My parents throwing away my invitation and then deciding they wanted to come a month before the wedding.

Figuring out the guest list. I don’t want any strangers at my wedding, and my FS’s brothers usually have short term girlfriends.

For us, it was deciding between two venues we really liked. One was pretty much all-inclusive and we would have saved thousands of dollars but I personally had reservations (exterior and bathrooms were run down, when site manager gave the tour she praised the house florist, who was setting up for a wedding later that day and the flowers were already visibly wilted, quality of food was inconsistent between visits), and the venue we actually picked, which is gorgeous but is not the most accessible for those with mobility issues and we would have had to have been very careful with our budget. I’m so glad we picked the venue we did. We did end up going over budget, but still spending the average amount for our area.

View Quoted Comment I’m so sorry. I know you and your family will make the right decision. Much love to you.

It was the fact that FH and I couldn't agree on anything! Plus he was so annoyed with the insane prices for a wedding. We still can't agree on much, I give in mostly, but there are some things I definitely put my foot down for because it's not just his wedding.

Finding the right venue.

We are still early in the planning process, but so far I think budget has been the most stressful. We are trying to stay under $5k, and finding vendors within our budget has been stressful.

The caterer

The budget for sure. I have pinterest-worthy ideas that are not budget friendly and it's hard to cut that stuff out!

The color of the shoes for bridal party. They discontinued the color I wanted. I know it sounds silly, but I really needed 3 matching pairs of Chuck Taylors in Hyper Royal Blue. I had to settle for something close. I kept mine though and will just have 2 pairs of very closely colored shoes.

People asking to bring plus one's neither of us have met, or just not important enough for us to make a priority.

I don't remember the first because literally every decision has been more stressful than it should have been for some reason or another. And I'm pretty much over it 😂😂

The guest list. We're 6 months away and I still don't have it down.

Guest list definitely, and honestly, our registry is a close second. Not sure why it's stressing me out so much.

For us it’s our guest list.
Had to disagree to agree.

The guest list my mom wants me to invite everyone and there brother and i am saying no to that

A family member assumed that I would be inviting distant family members that I had only seen a handful of times in my life. She had already started talking to them about the wedding date

Picking bridesmaids!!!
