Need a pick me up if you can.

I think a lot of brides to be get to a point feeling similar to this, from what I have read on here - so you're not alone!

I found (I did a lot of the planning!) that once venues and suppliers were booked, the invites sent out and the first flurry of replies came back, things went very quiet on the wedding planning front and it left a bit of a void.

My bride-to-be had very little input from the BM's throughout the process, aside from dress shopping and the occasional conversation about nails and hair.

I think what you're feeling is probably pretty normal for a wedding that has had a lot of time to plan.

I too was warned that if I turned up drunk, I'd not be getting wed - so you're not the only bride to issue that threat! I did go out the night before, but was stone cold sober by the following morning!

When you get to withing a few weeks of the date, things will kick up a notch again, and you can throw yourself back into it - chasing invites, sorting final numbers, making sure everyone is ready! For now, step away from planning, have a good night out - either with or without the OH! - and try not to get too down with the process.

I've followed your posts and your wedding planning on here - I will look forward to the photo splash in five months time!

Chin up!

Thanks Mr P.

I know exactly what you mean in regards to bridesmaids. I have 4 and none of them are interested! 2 are only interested as they get to wear a pretty dress and the other 2 just aren't interested or want to plan my hen do for me! You'd think by having 4 I'd be okay, but quality is better than quantity in my case, but it's too late to un-ask them now. Yes I get your point of their lives don't revolve around us, but the lucky brides who have fantastic bridesmaids who are with them every minute of the day, planning an awesome hen do for them, going to bridal shops for the bride's dress etc makes me rather envious of their relationships. I can't really offer any advice here though as I'm not sure what to do myself, but rest assured that it isn't just you and hopefully things will pick up in the next few weeks. Could you give them a job each to do as you are a bit closer to your date than me?

What is going wrong with your invites, have they not turned up?

Also I have found that pretty much anything we have organised has given us one problem or another, whatever it has been, however big or small there has been a problem!
