What aspect of wedding planning are you worried about currently?

So far, I have found wedding planning to be very stressful. I was convinced once I finally booked a venue I could relax...WRONG. I find myself being worried about our guest list being too small, which photographer to use, how annoyed the best man will be at having to rent a suit, whether or not...

What is currently stressing you out about your big day ??

    If it’s in your budget definitely get a good DJ! I’m also doing a photobooth so we can have pics of everyone having a good time and pics with our guests our photographer may not get!

    photobooths aren’t for everyone though some people think they’re over done.

    Yikes! Photography is soo expensive so hopefully your family doesnt hog the lens! I'm sure they know tactful ways to redirect focus on the happy couple Smiley winking I'm trying to enjoy the planning, it's tough when my MOH lives out of town and my best friend is backpacking for another month so I have no one to talk me down from going crazy hahah

    I'm still a year away from my wedding and what I'm stressing out the most about is the day of schedule. I want to make sure everything runs smoothly and for that to happen I want the whole day to be planned out and then make copies of this schedule and give to all the vendors, the wedding party, and anyone else of importance. We are getting ready in Aurora and then driving to Oakville (hour drive) for the wedding and making sure we all leave on time is a big part of the stress of scheduling the day.

    We're nearly 2 weeks away so there's a bit!

    I'm heading to London next Saturday, so I have to pack all our wedding/honeymoon stuff, along with normal clothes/regular toiletries for being gone 3 weeks.

    I also have to schedule my last dress fitting and pick it up before next Friday.

    My MOH is dealing with her own life and has had a few breakdowns regarding that.

    I'm super worried about people cancelling last minute/asking if they can bring a plus one/their child - especially once the seating plan is made.

    There's some small stuff my mom is worrying about/trying to get me to worry about, but at the end of the day, that stuff doesn't even matter.

    The thank-you notes! Our wedding has passed but I've been waiting - patiently - for our photographer to send over our edited pictures (so we can put one on our thank-you cards).

    Our best man cancelled his and his wife's booking to our destination wedding today. We have heard rumors about this for over a month from a variety of people but he has yet to reach out to myself or my fiancé to let us know that he isn't coming. This has been a really stressful and unnecessarily dramatic experience for the last few weeks. Now, we have to appoint a new best man, add a groomsman to the wedding party, figure out who is going to sign our mariage certificate instead and somehow play nice with the best man and his wife at our bachelor/bachelorette parties next month. Weddings do really bring out people's true colours!

    What’s currently stressing me is addressing all the invitations. FH has horrible writing so I’m left to write them all out myself

    So far we've had to deal with a minor basement flood (which meant damaged wedding stuff), a family friend passed away, over a dozen people last minute cancelled on coming, the rain be too much for the river and they had to take the dock out which meant we had to change our ceremony site, it's planning on raining quite a bit on our day - AND ALL IN LESS THAN A MONTH TILL THE WEDDING!

    Right now it's fine though Smiley tongue

    Being an organized person I was oddly relaxed while planning. My biggest stress was pleasing everyone and not trying to come off as a bridezilla. When you want your day to look a certain way, you just want everyone to not worry so much!
    I am just 2 days away from the big day, and now my biggest stress is the fact that my in laws will think it’s a family photo shoot time when really it’s about us. So that will be fun. I’m honestly just not going to give a F but it still worries me.
    Enjoy the whole planning stage. It goes super fast!!

    My FH hasn’t even looked for a suit yet which is kind of annoying. He’s really picky so I want him to start looking because I know it’ll take him forever to find something.

    Honestly, don’t worry about guests being bored! As long as theirs good food and good vibes, guests will be happy!

    Thank you soo much for your words of encouragement! I just keep reminding myself it's about me and FH and that usually calms me down a bit.

    You are so close to the big day!! I don't think it's possible to feel like you can relax in the days leading up to it haha. I'm sure you've got everything covered and your day will go great Smiley smile

    I have never been a decisive person, so I can definitely relate to the second guessing!! Catering is my next big task and I'm taking a break from planning in an attempt to gear up for it, I'm sure it feels good to have it crossed off your list! Smiley tongue

    Finding a caterer has been by far the most stressful thing to book! What do we think everyone will like? Should we go for a brunch type meal instead? If we do dinner should it be served buffet style? Just never ending questions and second guessing lol I finally got it done 2 weeks ago though so that's a huge weight off my mind, but my stress just moved from that to decorSmiley ups

    I am currently 3 days away and am stressed about having forgotten something. I'm just so worried there is something I didn't plan ahead of time. Try to enjoy your time planning. It does go by faster than you know and then it's over. It isn't just one day of your life it's the entire planning process and then hopefully the rest of your life. If I can say one thing it's that most of the things I stressed about leading up to it sorted themselves out with minimal effort. So don't worry about it. You got this!
