18 Days -small Stress Rant

Megis, on July 17, 2018 at 08:56 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 9
I have less than 3 weeks left and am starting to stress out. No major problems at least but important details to do. Then there is the usual guest and family drama.

My sister doesn't want to attend if her MIL is coming. My fiancee ordered silicone rings late and they haven't arrived yet. He needs to get his suit still. Worried about my BILs girlfriend who ruins our family social occasions. We need to build a long table. Also have to clear furniture and items from the first floor. And more on my to do list Smiley xd

    5 days for me and I am partly excited and partly ready to explode at any moment.

    Good luck!

    Hooray! 18 days! That's exciting!

    Just what the others said, breathe, relax, prioritize your to-do list, and let go of the family drama you can't control!

    It's gonna be great! Woohoo!

    Thanks that helps. I didn't think of a back up idea for the rings yet. We'll go to Wal-Mart if we need to

    All the items on the TO DO LIST will get completed as long as there is no delay and ready. All will work out turning your day beautiful


    The silicone ring will arrive in time for the wedding.

    It is all going to work out!

    I am sure you already have a list written down of everything you have to do, but make another list that prioritizes everything and how long it will take to complete, join similar tasks together if you can. Then make a schedule for yourself to complete those items.

    As for the rings, if they don't arrive in time, go to Walmart and buy cheap rings so that you at least have something for your ceremony until yours do arrive (we did this to put fake rings in our ring box for our ring bearer so he is carrying around our valuable ones).

    As for the family, unfortunately we cannot control other peoples actions...as much as we would like to sometimes. Tell your sister that this day is about you are your FH and that it means a lot to you to have her there.

    Everything is going to work, just make sure you take some time for yourself before the big day, so that you don't overwhelm yourself!

    Just breathe! Everything is going to work out... And honestly, even if it doesnt you wont care.

    Let people sort their own drama out. You have 3 weeks still! Thats a lot of time Smiley smile make a list and knock off one item a day. Or delegate. Its okay to ask people for help.

    I had a GIANT to do list with 1 week left before my wedding and it mostly all got done. We assigned a bunch of stuff to friends and family to help us out and they did such a wonderful job.

    Also! Do not forget to take a night (or two or three) off of wedding stuff! Go on a date and dont even talk about the wedding Smiley smile relax a little. It was the best thing we did the week before the wedding.

    ALL IS OKAY! lol, I'm sure that the family things will work itself out and if not then eventually maybe you can laugh at the mess? As for the suit, table, and clearing furniture maybe pick one thing to do each week? first the suit, then the table and lastly clear the furniture (add the other things in too though). As for the rings - I'm sure they will either get here in time or at very least you will be able to find something to make do Smiley smile Sounds like you should also add some R&R somewhere in your schedule though Smiley tongue Maybe a bubble bath?
