I am most definitely avoiding picking, designing my invitations....I can't bring myself to even look at invitations.....they overwhelm me.
Do you have an aspect of your wedding that you are "avoiding"?
I'm avoiding making a decision on bridesmaid dresses. I'm so indecisive, and I know once I say "that's the one" and they're ordered, that's it!. I'm also definitely putting off anything to do with our vows...we're writing our own, but we probably won't get motivated to do that until a month or two before!
I found STDS/invitations really stressful as well. I'm SO Glad our STDSs are chosen and being printed :) Invitations...they're being designed, so luckily I can't obsess too much about them now.
I have avoided each decision until the last minute - then suddenly I make it one day. Eventually, something strikes you as what you want in each category. Have faith!
Right now I am avoiding everything wedding related!
But I have decided I have to get out of my rut and go see cake bakers on Sunday!
Our music! So many choices, so little time to play all of them!
And practicing for our first dance. We are gonna have them choreographed but now, I'm kinda second guessing myself. FI and I are not really dancers and I'm scared that having our dance choreographed might look really cheesy.
Telling everyone some of the DIY decisions I've made. I know I'm going to get a lot of flak for taking so much into my own hands. Our parents would rather we go less creative vendor made budget, I'd rather take my own inspiration to cut down on costs certain areas, and allocate that money to things like venue, etc.
i'm avoiding hotel blocking! it makes me want to blaaahhhh just thinking about it. i tried to pawn the chore off on my mom, but no avail! it's holding up the invites...ugghh.
When I saw this post, I thought to myself: "What am I not avoiding?" Seriously.
I guess I'm not exactly avoiding, but I will research something, not decide, move on to something else, and then forget what I researched (even when I occasionally take notes).
I'm like an bride who wants a cool wedding without stressing out about it because I don't think it's worth it, but I'm still opinionated! It's not really functional lifestyle.
: )
lilyfaith... I am 110% with you on this. I want to own the whole thing :)
I'm afraid the fam is gonna freak.
@gocubbies - we're on the same page with everything! :) People always seem to think they know better... like, "you don't want that stress!" um, yes, I do! I think it's worth it.
@lrwedd - yay...we should support eachother! Most girls on this site make me feel like a failure as a bride (hint of sarcasm, but just a hint).
sarahsd - I am totally with you, the exact same way! I feel like a make a "little" progress in each area all at once rather than one thing at a time. but I guess that's what happens when you have to wait for other people to get to you, etc...to make those decisions.
@kelly - totally! I also think I make less progress because I need more of a deadline. Like when do I really need to book the band/dj by? I knew photographers and venues need to be booked a year in advance in my area, but the other stuff, not really sure. Maybe I should start a new thread about it.
I feel bad because I don't want to really DIY much. Invitations, get them at a store and print them at home and assemble them. That will be about 1/3 the cost of lowest price I could get from an online company. That's it. Other than that I just want to buy crap (at the lowest price available, yes, but even then...).
@mermaideve - don't feel bad! everyone has their own style. I often feel bad about not being good at traditional DIY, so I definitely have to think outside the box. But ultimately, your wedding should reflect you, not what some blog thinks is in style.
I was avoiding the dress decision for the longesttt time because I didn't want to fall in love with another one later. I was really scared to commit to one.
Nothing intentionally that I can think of. I do have a lot of stuff left to do...but I do have a bit of time (at least I think I do...my wedding is in 7 months!!!!). Some wedding stuff just came before other stuff.
@legal I had the same problem. Now that I finally picked my dress, I avoid the dress boards now so I don't see something else I might love!
I avoided making vendor decisions. My mom kind of took over that, I've just been busy.
Right now I'm avoiding hotel blocks and e-pics.
@lilyfaith... your comment about traditional DIY made me think... can you imagine if everyone on WB got together to make each others weddings? Yeah, we'd never have time to work again, but oh how kick-ass they would be, and DIY!
Ugh...totally avoiding hotel blocks (blissfully letting daddy deal with that one). I'm also avoiding calling hairstylists - how the heck am I supposed to pick ONE? I don't have a regular hair person. Same thing with cakes - too many options!!!! GAHHHH!!!
i hate picking the officiant! hate it!! i just wish someone else could do that but my partner will not.
we've also only gotten about 3/4 of the save the dates out.
My save the dates... I need to get them out FRIDAY!!!!!! And I haven't even started making them.
RIght there with you KMSull, we are avoiding making our save-the-dates too and I need to get them mailed, soon!
Also, picking out the music for the church, too many choices but yet I don't want anyone choosing them for me
Music!! Someone tell me there is a pre-made wedding list somewhere?? The thought of coming up with a 3 hour list of songs is terrifying!!
catering and picking my 8th bridesmaid.... ugh.
RXbridetobe - most DJ's will do that for you, unless you're not having one?
picking between a dj/ipod and finding a new officant! = ( I just don't know what to do!
I was avoiding my STD for the longest time now its rush rush rush they have to be out by wednesday (hopefully) : /
Im avoiding.. chosing music, dj or band, blocking hotel rooms, and finishing the map and the actual invitation wording. Just seriously because I cannot be bothered whatsover and writing an email to one of my friends about the cake. I just seriously cannot find the words.
Also.. finishing ribbon pomanders.. that has been the most drawn out project ever!
@His Barista I didnt want to! haha.. but since it is a 3 day weekend and a destination wedding I kinda have to.
@VirginiaMarie - i am avoiding our officiant too!!! isn't that awful?? i'm avoiding a priest, but for some reason i have this major phobia of calling him and talking to him on the phone. it's like when we first went to meet with him and he was talking to us about how it is important not to live together prior to the ceremony, yet we already lived together! i panicked and had the thought process of "what do i do? i can't lie to a priest, but i have to!" luckily my more calm and sane fiance was honest about it and turns out it wasn't even a big deal and the priest wasn't surprised, but i don't know... something about it makes me nervous. do i sound nuts? i think it is because i'm stressing about a million other little things so i'm like AHHHH i can't talk to a holy man at the moment!
My future mother inlaw...does she count, lol.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding, but I am trying to avoid discussing wedding details with her. For example my dress, she really wants to know what I want and what Im looking for...I've told her that\s something she'll only find out at the wedding....she has a daughter to do these things with when its time...Now its for my mother and I to share.
At this point I'm sorta avoiding making ANY definate decision. I'm just trying so hard to keep from getting my hopes up because I don't feel like this is going to really happen because every plan I've made in the last 3yrs hasn't worked out at all, including our first wedding (which we postponed 3months before W-Day), a house we were going to buy, and college (multiple times).
RXBRIDETOBE: If your having a DJ he or she will need your important songs and what sort of genre or feeling your going for. He or she should have the good sense to be able to follow basic guidlines to make you happy and will know when the party needs to be turned up or down.
I avoided the programs until the very end...the design, wording, everything just seemed like such a hassle.
Hmm..I was avoiding thinking about invitations until recently but unfortunately its about that time that I start to look into them. Im avoiding talking about or thinking about a hair trial because my FMIL wants me to do it when were down in Georgia in April but I got a really botched hair cut in October that still hasnt grown out yet and it makes me upset!!! Thats about all Im avoiding.
