OMG - Less than 7 months!!!

The Sock Chicken, 8 January, 2010 at 10:55 Posted on Planning 0 21

Ok I know it's only 1 day less, but seeing the 6 months on my ticker is making me quite nervous! Especially as I can't get motivated to do stuff!

    Lol, I found the last 6 months dragged, well up till the 1 month mark, then it just seemed to whizz by.

    What do you have left to do Zippy?

    I know - 7 months today!

    When we booked there were over 15 months to go! Where have the last 8 months gone?!

    I still have all the invites to make and the rest of the favour boxes, order of service and table plan. My CBM still hasn't started the BM dresses! I need to get my groomsmen along for measuring! I need to order my favour fillings and table number holders, buy a flowergirl dress, decide what earrings I want.

    Erm...actually when I start listing it, there isn't that much! Thanks Willownat, you've made me feel better about things!

    Oh god tell me about it, I was so relaxed about everything until we hit 2010 and now I feel as if I'm going to pay for it ?

    I have loads left to do and have about 6.5 months to go...here is my to do list, just to make you all feel a bit better ?

    • Sort hen do (CBM is doing main one but I'm having a second for those who can't make that)
    • Find BM dresses & shoes (friend is making jewellery) which should lead to...
    • Decide on colour scheme ?
    • Choose flowers for all bouquets, button holes, table & reception decs
    • Mens suits! (am happily passing this responsibility 100% to OH)
    • Make our menu choices
    • Find some bridal shoes I like!
    • Help friend with ideas for my tiara so she can get cracking
    • Choose favours and either order/buy them or make them (my preferred option is definitely the first!)
    • Choose the design for placecards, table plan, guest book, post box and order them (luckily have nabbed Prettywild for this, just knowing that alone fills me with calm!)
    • Find gifts for best man, ushers, BMs, parents, friends who have helped out etc
    • Write out and send invites (mid March) and then all the stuff that comes with that - like the dreaded table plan ?
    • Buy honeymoon clothes! We're going on safari so need the appropriate gear

    I know there is more, but to be honest it's depressing me even thinking about it ? Someone give me a boot up the backside please?

    Oh yes, you're exactly a month before me if I remember rightly!

    Well a month ago did you have more sorted than me? If the answer is yes, you're absolutely fine ?

    ? It might have to be a long engagement...from the sounds of it we may need 10 years to plan the wedding!

    Works for me! Even then I'd probably just chill out for the 9 years and cram it all into the last 6 months ?

    Just reading this thread is making me feel sick with nerves and a general lack of organisation

    Sounds like a plan, but I think we would need to have a Mormon ceremony and move to Utah to be socially accepted!
