4 months away starting to stress

Jennalyn, on October 3, 2016 at 12:33 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 16

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. I am 4 months away from my wedding and I am starting to feel the stress. I have been to prepared and planned alot. I have a list of things that still need to be done like boooking transportation, mens suits, a bunch of diy decor stuff but seem to have lost all motivation, and am stressing about time as I have been working crazy shifts and seem to be running out of time.

    Hi Emilie:

    So far we've been thinking about having different suits, or maybe the same suit with different accessories.

    Hi Nelly Smiley heart

    That's great! I'd love to see the style you'll both choose for groom and wedding party Smiley smile

    Will they all wear the same suit or different ones?

    This week we will be looking for all the men's tuxedos. Groom, dads, grandfathers, groomsmen and best man. Still to early to look for ring boys

    Sorry you're stressed, but welcome to the community!

    Just take it one thing at a time to not get overwhelmed. I like to plan out what Ièm going to do during the week and try and run out to stores to pick up any supplies I need and then use my weekend to actually do things! I literally write it in my calendar like an appointment.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're stressed, wedding planning should be fun and amazing not stressful. Why don't you try and break down your wedding tasks weekly and get them crossed off your to do list.

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. My fiance will be helping to pick the guys outfits but if I was to leave it up to him they would be wearing jeans and tshirts not suits. I have taken your advice and have started to break down my to do list into tasks to complete each week so i dont have such an overwhelming list all at once.

    Hi Jennalyn,
    I'm so sorry to hear that you are stressed. Definitely, reach out to anyone in your wedding party to see if they could help you or even your close family and friends. Also, I would recommend taking a break from planning when overwhelmed by doing things that fun and re-group. Also, be encouraged that all the planning you have done are and are going to complete will come together for your wedding.

    Oh No!

    It is good that you have a list- this close to the wedding organization will be key!

    Do you have some friends and family you can lean on for help? Would your FH be able to handle the men's suits on his own? What about some friend's with children (older ones maybe) who would be happy to help with DIY crafts for you?

    Maybe see about going to a bridal show with a friend to help find your inspiration again? Or just relax with a glass of wine and magazine after work one day.

    also: welcome to the community, you did come to the right place!Smiley shame Smiley heart
