Starting to freak out.

View quoted message Unfortunately one of my bridesmaids lives 8hrs away so that’s not an option for her. But good idea for the other.

View quoted message Maybe see if the bridesmaids are interested in a afternoon out to look at dresses together. They may be more ready to buy them if they take the time to look at different styles and have positive comments from rest of bridesmaids. Plus it's a fun time with your bridesmaids. I hope FH listens and you don't stress any more.

View quoted message It’s a mix of excited freaking out and because of everything that still needs to be done. I told FH that he has until the end of October to pick and ask his guys. So hopefully he listens. This is the 3rd time I’ve given him a deadline for it. bridesmaids also don’t have dresses picked yet, but trying not to freak out about that since I told them I didn’t care what they wore as long as it was in my colour scheme.

What is it exactly that is freaking you out? FH not having groomsmen picked? Things out of your control or things that you feel you need to get done? Maybe take a night or two off wedding planning to get yourself back into what your vision is and ask FH to get on picking his groomsmen.

You're getting married the same day as me! I was freaking out too until I finally got my caterer locked down last week. That was the last big thing that HAD to be booked, so it's (hopefully) going to be relatively smooth sailing from now on. My FH hasn't figured out what he's wearing either, he has a vague idea with the look he's going for but he hasn't actually done any searching apart from that, decor is the next thing on my list. So that's what I'd suggest, make a list and rank things in order of importance and get the top ones taken care of first

Dont freak out!!! tons of time!! im about 10 1/2 months out im soooo excited!!!!

Just make a list and go from there. 10 months is still plenty of time.

View quoted message My FH hasn’t even picked his groomsmen never mind figuring out what he’s wearing.
. Have all my venders I think. Not doing a cake tasting, doing my own flowers, menu is not decided.

My FH still needs to look into suits! So maybe have your FH start looking into what he might be interested in.

Do you have any more vendors to book? Officiant booked? Food booked? Decor and florist booked? Cake booked?

We're having our tasting in 2 weeks - have you guys looked into your menu?

View quoted message I don’t even know. I have most of the big things done. But drawing a blank on all the small things. For sure my FH needs to ask his guys to be groomsmen, rings, bridesmaids need to find dresses, decor and I’m sure a million other things.

Don't freak out yet - make a list of everything still to do. There's still lots of time!

We made a list of everything still left to do, and we're crossing them off one at a time.

Took care of our cupcake stand today, guestbook will be done this weekend, made another payment on the honeymoon - all that is left is our rings (which we won't do until this year).

What do you have left to do on your list?

Panicing doesn't get you anywhere while your ahead of your game. Calm and cool does the job to know what small details you may need to get or order for your day.
Be relaxed and take your mind off the planning by enjoying time with your FH, friends and families. Walking is also good to get fresh air outdoors while getting exercise too.

No!!! Don't freak out!! You've still got loads of time!!
