I have 9 months of planning. eek!

I feel the same way you do!! Those 9 months go FAST so start now! I only have about 4 1/2 left and wish I would have gotten moving on stuff earlier. Plus it's so fun, you only (well, sometimes) get to plan a wedding once!

A wise bride (Nicole) told me to stop stressing, it didn't matter and my wedding would be perfect. She told me quote "you won't miss ANYONE once you're there" and she was absolutely right. All those people who didn't come or cancelled or fell out at the last minute didn't cross my mind once, I was having to good of a time to care. I wasted a lot of tears and restless nights. I hope this helps! This thread was so helpful to me while planning my wedding

Amy, you're the sweetest! Even though you were still stressing, I'm so glad that you took in what I said. You deserved a perfect wedding, and I knew you'd get it . Now I have you to back me up when people think I'm crazy for what I try to tell them lol!

Wow! I think I found this thread at the right time. I was supposed to receive my invitations this week but freaked out and have delayed them by a week and lately I have seemed to start second guessing everything. I wasn't worried about who was attending and not attending until this past weekend and I have no reason to be so panicked I am like 5 months out. Thanks Maegan and Amy, both your novels/entries were well worth it, I feel a sense of calm now.
