Wedding Mood Down

I started off at 25 months and I was so excited to be getting closer I’m now 13 months out. I have so much to do and book. But I’m out of the mood. Anyone else? I feel lost in making decor, Calling vendors, trying to loose weight, I just gave up.

I still need cater, photographer, flowers, dress, invitations, favors, thank you gifts, officiant? Makeup, hair, videographer, grooms tux, I have a ton of decor I need to work on 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m doing simple rustic theme. My guest list I have like 36 random people that are maybes but my fiancé says he’s knows them and we’re on his parents list and I have no idea who they are or if they will come to my shower or wedding?!?
Covid so far as ruined my proposals to bridesmaids, first wedding dress appointment, taste testing with cater company, and meeting up with a photographer.
My mom doesn’t seem interested in wedding planning with me since she’s moving. I just feel Alone on wedding planning so it’s making me not want to do anything or what to do.
Sorry to vent ! 😓

I am sorry you are feeling this way. I would take a break from planning for a few weeks. Once you feel better, I would then focus on one thing at a time. The most important would be booking your remaining vendors that way you can secure the vendors you really want otherwise you might end up having to settle. I think vendors for 2021 are going to book up pretty quickly because of people postponing their weddings due to the pandemic so I wouldn't wait too long.
As for the people you don't, there were guests at our wedding that I had never met. But they were important people to my husband so we invited them. I wouldn't invite anyone you don't know to your shower though unless they are some really important. For instance, I hadn't met my husband's one aunt, but the rest of his aunts were invited so I invited her. It only seemed right to invite her.
I am sorry your mom doesn't seem interested. With everything going on, your wedding is unfortunately not going to be as high of a priority for others. I would focus on what you want and make decisions based on that.

Girl I feel this very much. It will be 2 years engaged by the time we get married so we have been planning very early. Some weeks I’m into it and some weeks I’m not, but all in all I’m ahead of the game so it’s okay if I’m not in the mood to plan some days. My mom is very nonchalant and not girly at all so she isn’t interested in planning too much (not her fault lol it’s just not her personality )... and my MOH doesn’t live in state...so that makes me feel kinda alone sometimes! Don’t worry, I’m sure you will get back in a planning mood and you have a lot of time ❣️

I feel you! We are in a different boat, as all of my planning was done for our April wedding that we postponed to this September. But my mood is so low most of the time.

My biggest piece of advice is find projects that are not wedding related to keep your mind busy. We have started a garden, planting flowerbeds, paint a couple rooms in our house, etc.

You are not alone. That’s one reason we all here too 💕

I have 2 busy besties and both have different taste than I do, and my family are not showing any interest on my wedding. This whole corona is definitely the major reason why wedding vibe is not great 😔

I just started a post saying the same thing! 5/1/2021 here. I just feel foolish planning an event that may never happen if there is a second wave

I'm so sorry you feel this way Chelsea, but I definitely understand! Even pre-pandemic wedding planning isn't always fun or exciting! I always advocate for taking a planning break if you need one, or you can just focus on locking down the rest of your wedding vendors for now and save style and decor decisions for later!
You're definitely not alone right now. ❤️ I've seen a bunch of other 2021 brides sharing the same sentiments in these discussions:
