Double digits- checking in

It will all come together, don't worry. I think I felt really similar to how you are describing when I was around 99 days - excited but super overwhelmed! You've probably heard and read this over and over already but just try to take it one thing at a time. I find it if I think about everything I need to do all at once I just get stressed and end up not wanting to do any of it because it just freaks me out. Take one or two things to focus on each day or week and get those things done before going on to another thing. Can you return the jewelry and sash you got? I know you said you don't have a ton of time but I would try to block out a day sometime within the next few weeks where you can go out and look for the rest of the accessories you need. Shopping is super time consuming but I think it can be a lot easier if you're able to try stuff on and see it in person before purchasing. If you have to do more online shopping, try to shop places that have reviews from a lot of people and pictures so you can see what you are getting from a real person who has gotten it. Good luck, it will all work out!

Thank you! I am able to return the jewelry and sash, although the etsy store gave me a lot of crap about the jewelry. The necklace was too heavy and just kept twisting, displaying the back silver instead of the crystals and she just kept trying to exchange it for a longer chain length. I was just like noooo. Think we got that sorted out.

I am feeling the same way as you!!

My day of coordinator at my venue has been MIA as far as planning the final meeting.

I am 49 days out and have yet to get makeup, hair stuff, shoes, the guys' socks, suspenders and belts, finish the decor...and I have to stock the bar and get gifts for the bridal party/parents.

I ordered suspenders twice and both times they were not the right ones...the company let me return them no problem but are dragging their feet as far as getting me the right product.

My job takes up a lot of my time during the week and I feel like my FH is getting to the point that most of the above stuff that I mentioned doesn't matter. And I am getting extremely irritated. Working full time and planning a wedding SUCKS.

Sorry things aren't working out so good right now, but congrats on hitting the double digits milestone! Try not to stress. It took me 4 jewelry sets and 2 veils to get my look "right." You got this!

Sounds like we are in the same boat! At this point I'm just trying to get essentials done. My venue is supposed to be handling most of the decor so I'm just letting that go. I don't have time to mess with it. But I at least want to have all my accessories sorted out. I had to take a sick day yesterday just to go sign paperwork at the bank for the house we are trying to buy. Its like a sin where I work to take a day off

Thank you! I'm just going to find some good earrings at this point. I don't think a necklace is going to work out for me.

It is a sin for me to take off days too...super annoying.

Same here...I am trying to decide which is more important. And I am thinking that anything that would be for me (shoes, make-up, hair stuff) will be set to the side...

My venue decorates the over all venue but I need to figure out centerpieces still...I am so overly stressed I wish I could take time off work so I could get this stuff done.

Yay!! Hitting 99 days is super exciting! Next week will be even better once you send out the invites...I sent mine out on Monday and hoping that I get an RSVP back in the next few days! Deep breaths, it'll all work out!! August will be here before we know it!

I'm 99 days out and I get it. Im stressed and overwhelmed too. I did have good look finding shoes from Nordstrom online they have a good return policy so you could order a few pairs? I'm sure there is a sale going on for labor day weekend.
I'm also finding I'm starting to second guess things and getting super anxious. Hang in there girl, we are all there!

There is still plenty of time! While it doesn't seem like long, you still have breathing time to get everything together. For accessories and shoes, do you have ideas for what you're looking for? Post some pictures and maybe we can help you find things that work.

Wedding day twins! I'm excited about hitting 99 days, but I'm getting antsy too. I haven't been able to decide on invitations and keep putting it off, but I really need to pull that all together soon. I keep thinking through all that's left to do! Deep breaths though, it will all come together!

Invitations took me the longest time to decide! Too many options, but I finally pulled the trigger on those and will be sending them out next week. That was a BIG relief.

I think I'm going to end up keeping the sash I got. I think the lighting I tried it on it was just too dark so I'm going to give it another shot. As far as shoes go, I'm looking for some comfy 2 inch wedges, maybe in pink or blush. Open toe with one strap across the top of the foot maybe?

That's a good idea! I've never shopped Nordstrom but a lot of people have suggested it so I will start searching there! Thank you

Exciting! We are doing online RSVPs so I doubt people will be swift about it haha.
