Stressed out!

Try to do as much little things as you can while you're away. Or ask your wedding party to step in and help out your FH!

The only way to get help from people you trust to help with your wedding stuff. Get someone who communicates well.

You can also do some planning from your computer.

I'm unexpectedly away and have limited communications and problems.

Oh man I 100% know how your feeling. I felt the same way at the beginning, everything was coming together and things were done well in advance. Now I’m 5 months out and like holy there is so much to do! Haha 😂 I head home May long weekend to get some things done but then won’t be back till 2 weeks before the wedding. So I’m freaking out a little now haha. Do you have a wedding planner? I highly recommend it if you don’t, hiring one has helped so much it’s crazy.

Congratulations! A job is exciting!

As others have said, I wouldn't stress too much. Most things can be done by phone and email - we are lucky to live in a time when skype and facetime make seeing things in real time easy, even from the other side of the country! Your fiancé can go to meetings; just make sure they are at a location with wifi at a time you can be available in Labrador, and you can join the meeting virtually.

I also think having a bridesmaid or family member you trust step in to help is a great option.

Well congratulations in the job! And I'm in the same boat as you. My fiance had been back and forth to BC from Ontario for a couple months with a job opportunity. End of February we found out he got the job and we had to move from Ontario to BC. Difference for us is that our wedding is in a year. Exactly one week before the move we also found out that were expecting our first child. Meaning ALL the big plans have to be sorted out before the baby arrives and it all has to be done from across the country.. best advice is don't over think it. It's turning out to be less stressful than I thought, of course some parts are more stressful but as long as you have a great support system you should be fine! Emailing will be your absolutel best friend! Just inform all your vendors you've booked already about the contact situation and they will be more than happy to do whatever they need to make it easier for you!

All I can say is first:

1. CONGRATS ON THE JOB. That's amazing!

2. Take a deep breathe

3. Do you have people staying in the area? Most of the planning I do is by phone or email, and there's been very few times I need to physically go somewhere, however if you have someone in the area, they can do the leg work for you!

If you got a lot of the big decisions done, most of the finishing touches can be done through phone (if possible) and the ones that can't you can do when you get back. A little suggestion may be to write down all the tasks you have left to do, and see which ones can be done while your away, and which ones will have to wait, and also get your FH to help, or delegate some of the tasks to someone you trust (bridal party, or family). Your almost there! Your wedding will be very beautiful!

I find a lot of details are done through email or phone, so I wouldn't worry too much. Do you have a bridesmaid or family member that could step in and send you pictures or pick-up last minute things?

View quoted message Yes, that’s what I’ll have to do! He’s not coming with me so he could do some of the stuff while I’m gone but I know he’s not going to be comfortable making any of the decisions alone so it’s no good to send him to meet with the decorator etc haha
We were supposed to meet with the decorator this month and I just heard back from her and she said July will be fine so that’s a bit of a relief. Our meeting with the photographer was set for July anyways so we’re good there to!
I also have to move my shower date to July now. It’s going to be a busy month!

Like you said, you’ve got most things done, so hopefully that eases your stress. Is you FH going with you? Maybe you could continue to plan and schedule so that when you come back, you have an exact list of what still needs to be done
