Happy new year everyone!

With it now being 2018, we are less than 6 months away to our big day! We have the following done:

- Booked a venue for both ceremony and reception; have a DJ; photographer; FH has his suit; I have my dress (paid for, alterations in February, it also included my slip and corset); have a florist; have a menu picked out with the caterer; have a drink menu picked out as well; have a pretty finalized guest list; have a registry; have a song list picked; meeting set up with an officiant

Things we know we need to do:

- Get FH his shoes and belt; get myself shoes and earrings; send out invitations; figure out decorations; figure out a bakery

I'm not entirely sure what else we need to do, but I'm starting to freak because this has all seemed a little too easy!!

    Why not make a timeline to be organized as you are already. Time and whats happening, song choices too so that your photographer and dj are up to date of the day. So far so good on your part. Take it easy and relax .

    For shoes check out 6pm.com. We bought all of our shoes for there for cheap! I purchased earrings from etsy, we also have to send out our invites which we will be doing by the end of this month.


    I'm in the same boat and feel as though I should be planning more right now with 5 months to go... but honestly don't know what to do! We met with our decorator on the 30th quickly and plan to get together in the new year to complete details for what exactly we want/need for decor. We just went through our wedding planning book to ensure we have everything updated, such as payments to vendors, etc. I've been looking up what to buy everybody for gifts for the day of, hair styles, makeup.. I just feel like I'm scatter brained at this point.

    We don't have a wedding party so maybe this is why I'm finding it too easy? I do have to look into the hotels and book some rooms, and we do need to figure out guest book ideas and center pieces, and a lot of your February actually really helps!! thank you!!

    Following. I feel the same way, I keep seeing everyone posting about stress and I feel like it was too easy which makes me feel like I'm missing a huge piece!
