It’s been a while since I have talked about wedding stuff, but unfortunately, I am not much further along than my last update. My dress came in, but I haven’t even decided on bridesmaid dresses yet. Our next big items on our to-do list are cake and flowers.
I’m feeling really behind. REALLY behind! The days are flying by, and there just isn’t enough time. Honestly, I’ve seen Nick for a total of 6 hours over the last two days. Our schedules are busy, and it seems like I just can’t cram any more into my days. When do I even make time to think about wedding planning?
I looked over my wedding to-do list the other night, and reality set in. I need to light a fire under my own ass. I need to get things done – and soon. I forgot all the small detail stuff – flowers for the cake/cookie tables; programs; my something borrowed, blue, old; a bouquet toss bouquet; makeup; hair! And the list goes on and on. Wedding planning is a full-time job all of its own.
A year and a half ago when Nick and I got engaged, it felt like our wedding date was forever away, and I had TONS of time to plan. Well holy crap, apparently, my time management skills flew out the window on this one.
It’s crunch time. I need to get myself on a schedule to complete __# of wedding tasks weekly. (Maybe I’ll start with an attainable number, like 1.)
Tonight, my MOH and I are planning to construct a detailed, prioritized list of all the things I have left to do. We are going to sort through magazines, peruse The Knot, Pintrest, Etsy, get creative, and by the end of the night, I sure as hell better feel good about all this planning.
So many brides “looooove” this and miss all the planning. I, for one, am stressed out and not having fun. Nope, you heard me, this isn’t fun. It’s stressful trying to plan the most fun night of your life, and trying to guarantee it will be the most fun for everyone else too.
Help me out here ladies – how did you organize, prioritize, make it fun?
Thank God I’m only getting married once. This stress alone is enough to avoid divorce and the chance of having to do it AGAIN.

Katie, just do what YOU think is best for you and Nick. Everything else will fall into place because the people you invite are the people you want to SHARE your special day with. It isn't a day for them, but it is a day to celebrate you two. Just take a deep breath, and remember that it is YOUR day. Don't try to think of how to make others happy.
