Me! I'm at the slash and burn phase. Father/daughter dance? Out, because neither of us cares that much and I can't find a decent song. I wonder what's next on the chopping block.
But it's also a weird spot, because like you said, we're all "hurry up and wait" because I can't do anything until more guest numbers come in. I did print up the escort cards already (but with my small dinner, doing it ahead of time isn't a huge deal because I'll only have to toss a couple if some people don't make it) so I've been putting my little gems on the cornes as dinner selections come in.
First I love the birdlet part of your name. My mom has a little love bird that we call birdlet. I also call my dogs doglets.
I am not freaking out yet. I have a wedding to go to in 2 weeks and I think I will be freaking out after that. I do have an entire weekend of wedding related things to do to prepare for the last push. My little sister (one of my moh's) is coming over to help me finish tying ribbons on my favor boxes... a serious pain in the ass.
I have the programs designed but until I know how many people are coming I am not doing anything with them. I will get them printed later. Same with the Table numbers and seating cards.
I'm at the point where I just DON'T CARE about the wedding...I just want to get married. Pretty much everything is planned and most stuff is done but if it's not then it's not really the end of the world.
I still have a few weeks to finish up projects but I can't wait till I'm out of time to worry about or stress about the little details. :) Then I don't have to think about it anymore.
Yep - I know what you mean. 64 days and counting. While I've gotten a lot of stuff already taken care of, there is still a lot more to do!
camrie- I totally hear you girl! I was just talking to my FI last night and we are both over it. I just want to marry this man!
Camrie - I'm with you I just can't wait to be done lol. It's coming fast but still not fast enough. We are date twins by the way :)
@Ms. Caniche: We JUST had a convo about it too. He was worried that wedding planning was taking precedence over the actual marriage. But in all honesty I'd marry him tomorrow at the courthouse if it weren't for the fact that I know our families want to be there and they're really excited. So I'm going to make it special for them and for us.
@Amarus: Yeah! We'll be done sooner than the rest! :) Haha.
Ummmmm Yeah!! Super stressed here....just found out that I need to cut my guestlist after I already sent the STDs to them (luckily I wasn't planning on sending invites till next week! Arghhhhhh! Now how am I supposed to go about cutting 15 people just to be sure we are safe and under 100?
@camrie: Yep no time at all now lol. I think like 7 weekends left. Then no more house full of wedding crap and back to normal life lol. The things we do for our families lol.
@locket: Do you have some +1s that you can eliminate? Have only those who are engaged/long term relationship and the married bring their SO. Then if, after the RSVPs come in, you can tell those folks that you had to cut down that now have room for them to bring a guest (if you do).
@Ms. Caniche: I was just at a wedding at the end of June ... seeing their event all pulled together is what put me into "ohmygoshrunningoutoftime" overdrive. It's frustrating to know that i have a big list of things still to do, but know that I won't be able to do any of them until we know who's coming. a lot of our guests are from out of town too, so while I know a few definite no's and yes's now, there is a very wide possible range of what our final guest count could be. eep!
Me!! I just got started back with planning because of health issues (I'm better now but way behind).
I still need to send invites, pick out all the music, write and design the programs, assemble favors, make decorations, send a photo list to the photographer, test out the sound system, and a ton of other little details I am sure I'm forgetting. Oh, and I haven't done any dress fittings. We also have to go buy all the food for the reception the week before the wedding.
Whew! I can't believe how close it is.
@pennednpapered: I think I still have to do everything on your list, along with a few other things! We don't have a DJ yet, and I don't know what our day of timeline is going to look like. We have yet to meet the minister (he is my mothers cousin, but I haven't seen him in over a decade & FI has never met him). Our invites aren't even printed yet.
I'm somewhere between being too laid back & chill to actually care, and going absolutely bonkers.
I wasn't freaking out until I read that everyone else was freaking out, LOL! Should I be more stressed?! I'm more stressed that it's been too hot to work out lately than anything else. I'm plowing through everything else slowly. I'm mad at myself for getting so wrapped up in decorating the stupid bubble containers, I should have made them SO much simpler but I didn't, and now I'm freaking stuck with them (gone too far!). Ah well. They're nearly done. What's that's over with I can move onto the escort cards, etc. I pretty much have all the stationery designed, I just have to finalize and print it, run it through the Cricut.
sigh. Back to bubbles.
Weird but I'm not freaked out at all, just totally EXCITED! I just want to be married and call him my HUSBAND already!! I'm so excited about that part, you know, to have a HUSBAND! Most everything is done, just waiting till the 8 week mark to sedn out the invites!
BTW-My bridal shower is in 2 weeks & as the gifts get checked off the registry, I keep getting giddier & giddier :)
I am freaking out too. I don't even want to share my to do list because it's embarassing how much I have left to do.
i am more excited than anything! i do worry about whether things will go smoothly and whether my decors will look tacky (i don't have an event designer, so i have to do a lot of guessing when it comes to decors).
@heysillybabe: In the words of my sister and MOH "We got this!" Good luck getting everything done.
@TingTing: I'm sure your colors will be wonderful!
This morning, i'm feeling more amazed than anything. It's just under 2 months now, and I can't believe it!
I'm looking forward to having a "husband" although we both agree that we don't feel like a lot is going to change. We already live together, have a house, etc. I have a gut instinct though that we'll both be surprised by feeling more like a family unit or something like that once we're married.
I'd like the wedding to sort of be done with and take off for our honeymoon already! LOL! 10 days without FI's cell phone going off, how could that be possible?! Plus when we get back we're going to start planning our house renovation and possibly our new business! So much to look forward to!!!
i'm sort of over the planning of the wedding too. we're sending out invites today so i think once we start getting rsvps back, i'll get more into it...hopefully haha. i'm with all of you - i'm just ready to be married!
I think I'm getting overwhelmed because I feel like I'm running out of time. I know I still have 6 weeks but ALL of August weekends are taken up with showers, I almost wish I weren't having one.
The first weekend is my FI's cousin's bridal shower who is getting married the month after us, then the next weekend it's another cousin's baby shower (and also my little sisters Sweet 16), then the following weekend is mine. They're all going to be in my FI's hometown which is an hour from where we live.
I really don't want to have to go to all of this but can I skip SOMETHING without seeming rude? I'd love to be there but I feel like I'm going to get really stressed out giving up three weekends the month before my wedding.
@camrie: Hmmm tough call. I suppose I would look at FI's cousin's shower since that's a pretty loose connection. Is she coming to yours? Otherwise I would skip the baby shower since you'll see your cousin after she has the baby and you can give her the present then. I'm sure everyone will understand why you won't be able to make it! We have a wedding the weekend before ours and I'm SO stressed just thinking about it!!!
@bakerella: Fingers crossed I don't get an invite to his cousins shower (I'm thinking maybe I won't since it's only 2 weeks away - I just know about it because his mom was talking about it). The other shower is for another one of HIS cousins (not mine) but my FMIL is hosting it so I feel like I should be there (plus I've already gotten an invite for that one).
i think the thing freaking me out the most are the darn emails from the knot and project wedding counting down the days... I KNOW HOW MANY DAYS IT IS!!! *pulling hair out and banging head on desk*
lol
Hi Ladies,
I'm late to this post but I think I am right there with you gals. I am over the planning of the wedding and just want to be married already. But plans are already in the works and now I've got to finish what I've started.
I've got 8 weeks from this Saturday. I'm doing it destination style so the thing that freaks me out is that I haven't even started details like menu and cake,etc because they don't go over that stuff at the resort (in Punta Cana) until 1 month before the wedding. But I have stuff I have to do now. And I am in total agreement with how annoying it is that we have to wait on other people... ugh!
@spaganya: LoL! those darn reminder emails and knot countdown always stress me out too! 46 days to go!
i have been on a serious roll this week - I think I sent about 47 wedding-related emails yesterday to various vendors to ask questions and work out logistics. i feel like's almost here! now i just have to finish the final paper products and we can wrap this show up!
denverbirdlet- I too go from "chilled- I got this under control" to "HOT and FREAKIN OUT!" Mine is Oct 2, but in Negril Jamaica and it is stressful, just planning for the 2 of us! ARGH!!! You have my utmost respect and admiration for going through with your plans- I wish you the best of luck- I am sure it will be wonderful! Congratulations!!
stressing out! knowing it is only 46 days away and there is still so much to do. i don't know how many of each centerpiece I want (tall, short & candle centerpieces), if i want to decorate the aisle, how I'll be doing my hair, haven't ordered a veil yet, first fitting is next week and don't know if that's enough time to alter dress down 1-2 sizes, so many DIY projects, sad at how many guests I have compared to FI (he has 2 times as much), can't decide on a shoe... and the list goes on and on.
i wish i had a wedding planner or could take the next 7 weeks off from work!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I keep vacillating between being totally chill - "i got this all planned and covered" and TOTAL FREAK OUT that there is so little time left before our wedding. I feel like I still have a lot to do (escort cards, programs, table numbers), but I can't do any of it until I get our RSVP's in and know how many people are going to be there and that's stressing me out!
Anyone else with me in the crunch time freak-out?
