    I'm dreading working on the seating chart!!!

    Aaahhhhhhhh!

    We're not doing the traditional "head table" and trying to figure out the seating has been awful.  :(

    What are some the last minute things you've been dreading?

    Ugh...the seating chart was awful! That was one thing I was so happy to be finished with!

    The morning of the wedding was pretty stressful too...everything leading up to walking down the aisle was just crazy!

    Getting my makeup done - I know that it needs to be heavier than I usually wear it (to say the least) in order for it to show up in the photos, but I just feel like I'm not me when there's that much paint on my face!

    And dealing with my mom - I've already told her that her job is to keep me stress free, but she seems to be the source of all the stress right now. I'm at the point where whenever she says something I want to say "I'll file that under 'not my problem'."

    Seating Chart I am so dreading, we started it the other night and two hours later we were not much farther, we will probably try tackling it again this weekend.  I still haven't figured out my decorations for the ceremony.  Finally I haven't even started to think about my vows!

    Uuugh this has been so annoying for us as well. WHY can't our friends and family just fall into easy groups of 8-10? Tongue out

    Haha ours was the seating chart too!! My MIL kept wanting us to add more chairs to the tables just so people could sit right next to each other. At some point we had to tell her that they would survive at the next table over and that the guests would probably prefer to not be rubbing elbows when they were eating. I stopped asking for input toward the end and just did it myself. And guess what? Everyone got through the night just fine! lol people really only sat during the beginning and dinner anyway

    I'm dreading the result of the sheriff sale FOUR DAYS BEFORE MY WEDDING, which could result in not having a venue. Details here: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/wedding-planning-stress-i-win.

    I seriously am stressed about getting all the stuff for the OOT bags... People won't respond to what hotel they are staying at so now I have no other choice but to give out the bags at our rehearsal dinner.  We have invited all the OOT people to the rehearsal dinner.

    I also need to finish the seating chart, we have done round one but it can still be better.  Then I need to make the place cards.

    @Ms. Caniche: The hotel where we blocked off rooms assured me that if we ran out of rooms in our block, they would keep track of who booked with them and mentioned our wedding. Yeah, or not. So far, they've missed at least three couples, including my fiance's parents. I ended up emailing all of our OOT guests, asking where they were staying. And I've yet to even go shopping for the stuff we're going to put in the bags. 

    Also, I feel your seating chart pain. Working on ours was awful.
