Does anybody ever feel like...

I do. All the time. I go between two extremes of thinking 'I must make every detail perfect' to 'All I care about is that I'm getting married to OH, nothing else matters'. Which may explain why I have done so little wedding planning...

Sorry to hear that you feel like you don't have any support in the wp. It might just be that you still have a while to go. I'm sure as you get closer to the wedding they will get more excited and start taking more of an interest. In the mean time, make good use of hitched; people who are going through the same thing as you will always be more supportive.

We have battled this feeling too.

My b2b's sister got married last year and very much kept everyone out of their planning, and it particularly upset her mum.

Now it's our turn it has been very difficult to get her mum to realise that actually we do want and do value her input in our planning, and we've spent many months irritated at her, albeit somewhat understandable to a degree, lack of interest in any of our planning.

The rest of her family, similarly upset by her sister's exclusion of them, have also been quite hard to get on board.

My parents, being 150 miles away, are of course very limited in what they can be involved in but have shown some interest in our planning when we've been to visit or phoned them.

Unfortunately family and friends often don't share our excitement and enthusiasm for our planning. Just remind yourself you're marrying your partner, not the families, and keep that at the top of your mind.

Yes I feel like this all the time. I've sacrificied so many of my evenings to sit and craft all the bits like favour bags, name place cards, guest book, etc.. and OH would just sit there and watch TV and then fall asleep on the sofa while I was up 'til the early hours trying to finish it all on my own and doing the very same the following evening. My MOH has been crap too, I regret asking her to be MOH under the false illusion that she would help me out with stuff or at least get involved in some way or another. I've had moments where I wanted to just stop and not do anymore but I knew if I stopped then there'd be no wedding. My OH has spent many many weeks working abroad leaving me at home alone with the 2 kids and all the wedding planning to do on my own. But I carried on and I'm almost there!

If I could start all over again, I would go abroad and get married.. just me, OH, kids and our parents and whoever else could make it.

God, it is SO nice to hear other people sharing my thoughts! My OH's family are been fine, interested in planning, but my family have all gone to pot!

My OH still keeps saying 'it's next year, stop worrying' but i'm wanting to make all my favours & stationery myself so I want to do things gradually to give myself some time before the wedding to chill out.

Ah well, I'll just keep plodding along and get there eventually! x

I have spent hours and hours sewing bunting, making fabric hearts, sewing buttons onto placecards, gluing lace onto jam jars. I asked my oh if he wanted to cut some fabric numbers and glue them onto luggage tags for table numbers only for him to pull a face and say, "no, not really!" ?

I don't expect anyone else to get that excited really though, as, being totally honest, I used to find others' plans dull until it was my turn. I don't want to bore others!

PS the work you have done is amazing worth the hard work you have done!

I'm really feeling like this at the moment. Under 2 months to go and all I want to do is cry constantly! We're moving house this week too and OH is being so useless I just want to say bugger it to everything. His friend suggested they play golf after work today and even just the fact that he wants to go, I'm stuck at home packing! Surely he wants to help pack...it's more him that wanted this new house than me! We've rowed so much lately and I feel like he's being rubbish. His family aren't helping matters either. Just want the wedding to be here!

I know they say getting married and moving house are stressful times, so you must be stressed beyond belief. In my opinion your OH should be helping you to pack, not go gallavanting on a golf course.

I'm a little stressed out as my dress still isn't in the store and it should have arrived at the beginningof the month. Because of my job I have only 6 weeks to get it fitted properly. I'm going to give another weeks grace, then I'm off in the shop next Monday to find out what's happening.

All the time. We've not even booked anything yet and i already can't wait for the wedding to be over! I just want to be on honeymoon with D!

Everyone else has an opinion on what we should do, who we should invite, where we should have reception, which church we should get married in, what my dress will look like, colour scheme, invitations, decorations, cake blah blah blah i could go on forever. Sometimes I think we could just say yes we'll get married in the church and host the bbq afterwards and stuff all the little details like the place names, invitations etc. Just get them from WH Smiths and be done with it. But then I look at all the beautiful details other people have and I think 'i want that beautiful day too!'

But yes, I really am fed up of it already. The most important part is D and I and i wish other people would remember that too!

This post has certainly helped me realised that alot of people are in the same boat!

I think I'm going to take the advice of a few people on here, take a few days / weeks off and sit down and start a fresh approach! I need to find a florist and a transport company, and I'm leaving my bridesmaids till later on for a bit.

It's mainly my stationery & my favours that I'm worrying about as I'm making these myself. x
