Getting married in May? anyone else not fully organised?

Loads ?

? you are soooo not alone!

I have just paused from writing my to do list to reply to this post! I cant even focus on that for 2 mins! let me tell you there are a few things on the list and im not finished yet! What date you getting married Sherry? whats outstanding..Im finding its all the "little bits" that are left which add up iyswim

Sorry but nope I don't have much to do.

Spring from here is giving me a fab wedding present and having my table plan, thank you cards, place cards, favour tags and something to go on the front of my postbox all designed and printed for me so because of that I'm so much less stressed.

I've got all my favours and menus made and going to decide on table plan next week.

Start my dress fittings on 17th April.

I'm sure you don't have much to do and it just seems a lot.

What is on your list still?

x

You are not alone, loads to do still!!

Girls now I'm worrying that i've forgotton heaps of things! It isn't like me to be so organised.

What have you all got left to do?

Its nothing major left to do really for me its just the little bits..

Invitations for complicated family members who we are now inviting

Childrens activity bags

Finalise music/CD

Order table diamonds.

Bridal party gifts

Hair Trial

Table Plan (making it)

Wedding post box

Wedding Undies

Hair Trial

Bridesmaids accesories

Place cards

oh and lose a stone..

its also been hella stressfull as have had loads of issues with my dad coming/not coming which has been so hideous and some people not RSVP or saying they "will try and come" (there are 10 in this family) umm...you either come or dont as we have other people who we would love to invite and you know its soo ruuhuuuddeee...aaaahhhh...

deep breath..

Sorry for rant ?..so Yeah got a few bits to do

I'm getting married the 9th May.

I still need my dress fitting

Organise food for the venue (well go and see the lady about this)

I need to make my fish and chip favour (don't ask ?)

I need to add bits to my headdress

I need to find a petitcoat type thing for 2 bridesmaids

I need to organise the balloons for the tables

Start to think about thank you gifts.

Not even thought about how im having my hair or booked a hairdressers for the morning.

Ummmm and that's off the top of my head, im sure there's more.

I only have 5 weeks and we still haven't decided on the ceremony music!

Still have my table plan display, the CD inserts and the table numbers/menus to make. H2B still hasn't bought any shoes.

I have nothing to wear on my honeymoon (not that I even have a suitcase yet).

Still haven't even got the timings for the day decided on yet either TBH.

I think the problem is that I'm just running out of steam!

Ah right well I do have small things left.

Find things to put in the kids gift bags (have got the actual bags)

Make bridesmaid hair comb again cos the it is now going on the other side of her head

Make flowergirl wand

Maybe bling my shoes up

Order table diamonds

Order things from Sherrie H for table centres

Chase people for RSVP's

We have also got to make up several CDs as we are having a motown/soul singer and need some music to play when he is taking breaks.

Also music for when we are signing the register and also a CD with our first dance song on it.

The bestman still hasn't got a suit.

My flowers are still in the design stage (My godfathers wife is making them for me)

Arrrghhh my list is getting longer!

I think it helps to break it down. Thats what I did when doing the big stuff and that seemed to help, I think when you think about planning a wedding it can be quite daunting and when your running out of time its like you keep thinking you've forgot something. Im doing a list now and IM breaking it down to one or two things to do a week/day so i know things are getting down and I can just chill out. It doesnt seem so big then.

Kelly, I can imagine running out of steam at the 5 week stage (im nearly there with 9 weeks to go)....

Shery:- probably feels worse than it is..hah

We will all get there in the end....I keep hearing about how stress makes you lose weight/appetite...Im still waiting for this bit to kick in! ?

yeah I still have quite a bit to do. most of it can be done once we have final numbers, just waiting on the last few RSVP's now. The biggest thing is we don't even have the material to get the BM dresses made yet all thanks to the Raylia fiasco. Should be here today or tomorrow though and dressmaker is poised ready.

Should really think about table decs too, got some ideas its just buying the bits and pieces I need to do.

But you know what everytime I open up the to-do list I am really losing the motivation to get things done, just want the day to be here now. Anyone else feel like this?

It's good to know I'm not alone as I've still got a load of things to organise.

Invites for the day and night to be sent out

Menu and buffet to be picked

Favours and post box to be made

Wedding music

Wedding readings

Flower girl shoes and accessories

Wedding cake to be orderd (M&S)

Decide on table centres and table plan

Hi

I'm 2nd May and I don't want to do a list as I'll then panic....

arrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

?

I did manage to find some lovely shoes which was the last stress and have now been for my dress fitting. Bridesmaid is making headband and the boys have ordered their suits.

Have favours, music, vows (!!!), presents, readings to do - not doing a made table plan or order of service or anything like that as it's a small civil do - do have to actually plan where people are sitting though. Have threatened to sit one member of the family outside on their own for various reasons but that's another story.

I have my HEN DO this weekend tho so that FABBY and have just spent too much money in Monsoon buying a dress to wear to it!

Oops

Far more than you could ever imagine!

Yep, 30 May for me and still loads to do too.

Seating plan

get hair accessories for BMs and they have still to buy their own shoes

meet up with photographer

get veil - think I may have to do this soon!

get rest of underwear

get jewellery for myself

go for food tasting

meet up with dj

get presents

order cake Yikes!!!

Phew! I'm so glad I'm not the only one. Even though we've got all the major things sorted, I have a to do list that spans several pages of little nitty bits to do. Can't sleep at night for thinking 'Should've rung the DJ' 'Need to sort out gifts for wedding party' 'Bridesmaids haven't got shoes yet' And, I've been a teeny bit stressed out with H2B.... TBH I'm sure we'll get all the major things sorted, and will people really notice that there aren't 4 kinds of beer, or hand lotion in the ladies room... probably not. (We're not having 4 kinds of beer, just for reference!) x
