Stressed!!

Awww

take a chill pill and relaxi :o)

mind you at 13 months to go.. I had booked the venue, and the registrar and worked out colours and save the date magnets.

Have you done this bit yet??

Aww bless, I remember when I was in your shoes.....!

Have a break for about 6 weeks or so. The one year mark is the OK button to start making decisions and buying stuff in my opinion!!

You are in danger of information overload, which is what I did, then I had a two month break over christmas cos I was fed up with looking at magazines etc. Then after christmas I had a new lease of life and it started to finally all come together.

Dont worry!!

Lol,you sound just like me, i get up in the middle of the night cos i cant stop going over everything in my mind so have to go on the computer to look over things again :s

We have all been there. I think the others are right.

- Relax

- Take a break

- hit the 12 months

Then give yourself a short list of things to achieve each month (ignoring tiny details until you get to them)

I was exactly like you and I remember worrying about silly little things and for some bizarre reason my favours and centrepieces have been ready for ages and gathering dust, and have only just found bridesmaid dress and have no idea about flowers!

Don't panic, you will find your flow

I have decided to take a little break although i have promised my younger BMs (they will be 12 1/2 at the wedding) that we can go and look at dresses on Sunday.

I have the venue booked, colour scheme picked and dj and photographer pencilled in (they are friends of ours). So i am ok to sit back and relax a bit now.

I'm glad i'm not the only one that felt like this, i think my OH thinks i'm losing the plot

Tbh I've found it a stress from beginning to end. You still have loads of time, so maybe just get the one a day things confirmed and then take a complete break. Actually, things do sort of settle themselves down.

1 word - CHILL!!! Hee you have loads of time! I've had more than enought time to do everything and we're having a just short of 10 month engagement - wer just about half way through!! Try and enjoy every minute of all the planning! It'l only happen once!!

I second that! I've finally started being able to focus all my time on planning today since I just finished my last exam at uni today and can now concentrate and get excited. I've just ordered all my wedding flowers online and they'll be arriving within the next 5 days so I can make them into bunches with my sister. I have 18 days til I get married and we still need to do the men's suits, pay for the church and marriage license and take up the bridesmaid's dresses a couple of inches. You got LOADSA time!! Take a break from planning and have a rest! x x x

A lot of us have felt overwhelmed at times so your not alone! My OH sorted me out by putting me onto hitched ....bless him. i didn't buy anything for ages because i knew i'd end up changing my mind loads and didn't want to waste money. I've spent hours on the internet looking at wedding things, had a rest from it for 4 months or so and am now just getting round to buying them if i still like 'em.

Cass, I'm in exactly the same boat!

I started typing out a reply but it got really long and I sounded totally crazy and with 15months to go, in fact we don't even have an official date yet as we're going to view the venue we want and then decide on date...

I'm hoping I can get the venue sorted then ignore all of this until after we buy our house! (hopefully by November)
