Losing my "wedding planning mojo" Has anyone else felt this way?

[X-Chan]

I feel the same way! At the beginning I was on this site every day but now I've just been coming to check every once in a while. I am so close to hitting 150 posts but don't really care as much anymore

 

The wedding is only 5 months away and there are so many things to do.. it makes me feel uneasy when I think about the long list of things needing to be done ~_~

I am not alone, I at a full stop feeling totally defeated. I wanted to have everything planned well ahead of time but have gone from 1 year and 10 months to just 10 months away and I am not closer today then the day we got engaged. I have great ideas but I can't seem to get them all pulled together to get to a final product. I have talked to a few venues and I have been told it is to early, so I am going to kick back and enjoy the moment as I am sure in a few months I am going to be stressed out.

When are you getting married? 10months is not that far away it is going to fly by. Maybe you can start to develop the ideas and put them into motion. :-) When you say venue are you saying as far as resorts? Or are you having an AHR?

Hello FutureMrzMalone,

 

We are having a "reverse destination wedding" We live in Bermuda and are getting married in Atlandta. The majority of our guest will be travelling with us. I have a ton of ideas, but I really can't get it together but I need to. I am trying to finalize a venue so I can get hotel rates and send out save the dates. The most that I have done is written the guest list and picked out a dress. I have alot left to do! I am feeling a little defeated.

Oh.... I see. Well girly you have come to the right place. The ladies on this forum will support you and motivate you. A lot of the ladies on here have felt the same way, myself personally. Unlike you I have 15 months to go. So turn that frown upside down and let's try and get that wedding planning mojo back. LOL Do you know what type of venue you are looking for i.e the type of atmophere, indoor, outdoor. What about the cermony? Traditional, non traditonal. You can start with that and build off of those ideas. I hope this helps... Please don't hesitate to come to the froum and vent that is what the forum is for. Happy Planning!!!

I feel the same way- I'm now officially less than 3 months to go and I've run out of steam. Programs? No. Vellum lanterns? Meh. I'm tired of it and I figure it's going to be great when we show up and all these

extra things are just extra weight in the luggage and extra things that no one will appreciate and will end up in a garbage can somewhere. So we'll see. I have a couple things I'd like to pursue but I'm definitely

crossing a lot of projects of my list.

Take a look around, As long as you have everything that you would like to have for you day it will be perfect. Don't worry about what others will think! Take a look around the site it will help you to get back into things. When I did I was back into the swing of things in a matter of days.

GOOD LUCK WITH UR PLANNING LADIES !!

[futuremrstgun]

ladies...

 

i lost my mojo then...at like the 120 day mark..my inner martha TOOK OVER and we've been coasting along ever since...  you know, martha don't play..so i got in gear and started DIYing and well, i've got 30 days to go and all of my projects are on tap to be complete well in advance of the big day...

 

so..lay low..enjoy the break...then when your inner bride starts revving up...you'll know.

 

until next time, happy planning!!

I know this is a little off topic but I am just wondering how far in advice people are planning on being finished the DIY items before the big day? I am not sure what kind of time line to give myself and time is definitely sneaking away, the only thing I really have set in stone is my dress. I don't even have a venue with a signed contract yet.
