I am getting married October 1st 2023, but to be honest I could have this wedding in two months by the way I’m planning. I just got engaged 2 months ago and I have all of my vendors, my bridal party, dresses picked out, cake done, caterer etc…I know what I like and I’m not very indecisive. I’ve always been a get it done now, type A, don’t procrastinate and have a schedule type of person. However, that stresses me out when other people are not like this. I have given my bridesmaids deadlines for things but not everyone is going to pay for their dress or makeup or be some where on time exactly when I want them to be. But for some reason I can’t shake this unnecessary stress I’m putting on myself. Expectations kill joy that’s for sure! So do any other brides such as myself have any advice on learning patience. I don’t want to be that annoying brides that’s like “hey! Did you pay for your make up yet??” Every 5 days knowing we have time for them to do it. I know we have time, yet my mind is telling me “Omg we are running out of time! Hurry!”

While I was definitely like you and had everything pretty much planned within two months of getting engaged, I agree that not everyone is this way. I won't lie and say that didn't cause me anxiety and stress because it definitely did, but unfortunately there really isn't anything you can do. Your girls know they need to have these things handled and worst case if they don't follow through then they can attend as a guest or do their own hair and makeup. Not sure if your hair and makeup artist require payment in advance, but mine didn't other than a deposit so my girls and I didn't pay for those services until the actual wedding day.

Yes you are so right! I have to just remember I chose all of these ladies for a reason so I need to give them a chance. Yes same for our make up artist she just wants a down payment

OMG, yes! Our wedding is 142 days away and my sister and my son, who are in the wedding, haven't booked their flights yet!! I am freaking out, but there is nothing I can do short of buying the tickets myself. Since we have arranged rental housing for them (paid for by us) there is no way I'm doing that as well. I just try to keep breathing and focusing on things I CAN control.

Yeah, unfortunately the tough thing to remember sometimes is that our weddings are one of the most important days of our lives and no one else’s. Especially right now with the holidays, normal non-wedding people are not thinking about their fall plans right now. I’m running into this problem with our hotel block. Our venue has given us three hotels at different price points, and if our block fills up at one, we can move rooms around as long as there is availability. Every day I refresh our hotel block page to see if anyone has booked yet (for our September 2023 wedding) because I’m so worried about guests not getting the hotel they want, and every morning it’s crickets lol. I just keep telling myself maybe tomorrow. 😭 With that being said, there are real deadlines that need to be met, so as those come up, it’s totally fine to politely nudge people.
