Do you feel ahead of the game or behind the ball?

I'm ahead on some things and right on on others and a bit behind where I wanted to be on others. We have all our major vendors (at least all the ones we can afford - but I'm still looking for someone to video it without any editting cause I just want the ceremony exactly as it is and the big dances exactly as they happen) and Ive had 3 fittings already with my dress and purchased a bunch of what we need for DIYs and other garments. My timeline says I'm on track - and that was with me taking the earliest date for each task from 3 different timelines when I made my own. But I had wanted to get my Save the Dates mailed out this month and they arent arriving until Feb 1st - so I wont get them in envelopes and mailed back out until next week - not that far behind but still a bit behind.

On time and ahead, I have an excellent team and planner! They’ve made this experience heaven sent!

I am not getting married till June. We have all vendors done. Now just saving money buying things little by little on amazon and etsy

I think I’m ahead of the game. Wedding is Oct 26th. I have all vendors booked- venue, dj, harpist, photographer, hair, doing my own makeup, videographer, photo booth, officiant. My dress is being custom made and I start measurements in April with the seamstress. Venue does catering, cake and floral In which we are meeting at the end of February to start going over.

With just a little over 90 days to go, I feel a bit behind. I selected my vendors on time and everything, I’m just kind of a control freak and since I live so far away from where the wedding is going to be, I just feel like there’s too much left to do and I don’t get there until we have like 35 days left. I’m trying to calm down and trust the process, my fiancé is doing most of the wedding stuff from PR, I just wish I could be there 24/7 planning everything as well. That. Wing said, since I don’t get there until 35 days left, I can’t do hair trials or makeup trials, I have not yet bought my accessories. My FH is in the process of selecting his attire and the groomsmen attire as well. I still don’t have his ring! I can’t even think about it anymore, I’m stressing quite a bit now.

Sooooooo behind the ball. I have 4 1/2 months left and so so much to do. The venue needs all final information by 1 month before the date (so May 15 for us) and I still need to:

-bridal party attire (my MOH and I are going next weekend to do bridesmaids dresses)
-mothers' dresses
-finalize decorations
-book photographer & DJ (wow still can't believe we didn't do this)

Behind the ball. I thought we'd at least have the venue by now, and I thought i'd have my dress by now. Finances.............

You are on a roll!! That's awesome! I'm sure it's going to be so much fun having your dress custom made

Sometimes I feel like I’m behind but I know I’m not. 🤨

Ahead of the game for sure!

I feel like we’re behind but according to all the checklists we’re ahead by a little bit so that’s reassuring

Totally behind the ball 6 months away and still haven’t been able to send out announcements as we have not been able to secure a venue 😔

I feel ahead of the game some days and behind others! lol I don't know, this stuff is so stressful!!!

My answer this morning was way different than how I feel now! I hit one of my 'what the *** am I doing' organization freakouts. I almost scrapped my entire checklist to start over.. Until I remembered I could just edit it...
Now I feel back on track. I have about 1 1/2 months and am just finalizing details. That's a good place to me. March will be exhausting though. An event every other week plus all the planning communication that needs to happen.

Behind the ball, I guess I procrastinated lol

I really feel like most of my planning is done (51 days out), but I still have so many things to buy. I have my running list so I won't forget anything, but I keep pushing things out because it gets so expensive! For the most part, I feel ahead of the same.

Both I am a million miles ahead in some areas and a hottmess in others

Ahead of the game for sure. I have 15 months until my wedding but I already have deposits paid for the venue, photographer, and dj. I just said yes to my dress and maid the 1st payment on it. I have my bridal party bouquets and my keep sake bouquet made. I've picked out things for center pieces but haven't made any final purchases on them. Plus we have our cake and invites decided.

I'm feeling so behind.

We're targeting August 24 and we don't even have a venue actually signed yet.

I keep telling myself: I have my dress, we have a DJ lined up (not yet signed, but deep in talks), we know which invitations we're going to use, we just nailed down rehearsal dinner (FILs live blocks from the church, love to cook, and just said they'd host), and my MOH has done this twice before, so she's keeping me calm.

But, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I want to just sign some freaking contracts and feel secure!
