2 months to go ahhh

Deep breaths! How much have you already got sorted? Enjoy this planning stage and if anything isn't quite right on the day you won't even notice 🥰

This is such good advice, there will always be a few small glitches but you will hardly notice them.

As long as you have the main things such as venue, catering, legal requirements, all contracts signed, all deposits paid and all suppliers confirmed we are sure you will have a great day but as a few last reminders....

• Get a final dress fitting
• Break in your shoes as you will both be wearing them all-day
• Pack a wedding day emergency kit e.g. scissors, paracetamol, tape, Imodium, safety pins etc
• Collect your dress/suit
• Go perfume/aftershave shopping

That’s a really good idea! I’ve got a few lists of things but I feel like there’s always more being added that it’s never ending 🤣🤣 thankyou though! X

Everyone says this and I’m sure it’s so so true you just enjoy the day and probably forget the little bits completely! Just frustrating when planning all you think is the little bits 🤣 we’ve got most things, still struggling with seating plans and to do a cheap and cheerful find your seat sign and place cards etc just feels like so much doesn’t it haha thankyou!

I completely forgot breaking in my shoes! That’s an absolute must! And a really good idea packing an emergency kit!
Thankyou so much for these x

First of all, you’ve got this, you will be okay 🙂
At 2 months I went to an extra organised period (I’ve always been a list person), I had a list of all the suppliers we needed to contact & pay - I contacted all of them 6 weeks beforehand (a whole evening of just writing emails but it got it done), reiterating everything they needed to know, asking any last questions, and paying them all (some of them I paid early just to get it out the way).I had a “to buy” list, things for on the day, or for the bathroom baskets, or actual items such as my stationary. I had 1 Saturday, where I just spent the entire day in shops on wedding errands, so I knew 7 weeks before the wedding yes I did have plasters and heel stoppers and bought my tea lights etc., and all the other silly things that came up. I’ve had very little “to buy” since then and it’s helped being able to visually see it all packed up in my house, ready to be transported 😁
I also just had a general “to do” list - things like check how the Best Man is getting there, reconfirming numbers for night before dinner etc. Generally I would tackle this last once or twice a week, as I find messaging lots of people socially exhausting, so I limited it to doing it in bigger blocks, so other evenings I could switch off from wedding talk. It’s mentally tiring, so it’s important you do what you need to do, I like lists & compartmentalising, but some prefer to deal with each thing as it comes up. Find what works for you & ensure you get a little bit of time a week away from the wedding. Focus on mentally chilling once or twice a week, whether that’s exercise, reading, having a bath, putting on a face mask etc. - just do something for you every now and then. I’m 9 days to go now, and I’m just waiting for the day now, all chill, so you will get there and it’ll all be okay xx
