Panic is setting in!

kirstycat, 21 September, 2010 at 12:59 Posted on Planning 0 6

I'm getting married in April next year - so still 6 months to go. Everyone keeps saying that I'm really organised but I don't feel it. I've been off work sick for a couple of days so maybe it's just because I'm not feeling great. But I've been looking at everyone's flashes and really starting to panic that I'm not organised and everything won't be ready in time.

What sort of stage should I be at six months before?

    I would say the most important thing is that your recption/church/registrar etc are booked, that's the main things, then next I would say is yoru dress as it takes a while to be made ?

    How far ahead with plans are you? x

    The Hitched wedding planner - https://www.hitched.co.uk/plan/wizard/index.asp - may help although if you ask 20 different people you'll get 20 different answers.

    Certainly you seem to have set a date, so I assume you have venues for wedding and reception booked too?

    Do you have a dress yet? Some places we've seen quote 3 months minimum for delivery of custom dresses so that's the biggest panic for most.

    Our venue is booked - we're having the ceremony and reception at the same place so that was quite straightforward. I've got my dress and the bridesmaid dresses. Band is booked, flowers organised, jewellery ordered. I think the problem is that I'm actually too organised - I don't have anything to do so I'm just panicking instead!

    How about your photographer/videographer? They get booked a long time in advance.

    Also, stationery. Are you making them yourself or getting them professionally done. No time like the present to start thinking about the design. I can certainly help with this!

    Oh yes, photographer is booked. Your designs look lovely but someone I know is making my invitations. Just as soon as my OH can decide exactly who he's inviting!
