What has been the most difficult part of wedding planning?

My biggest challenge has been my FMIL. She keeps buying things we don't ask for that end up costing us more money in the end. For example, she wanted to buy customized labels for water bottles since our ceremony is inside. A little unnecessary on the labels, but I didn't want to shoot her down. Well, she is refusing to buy a container to put the water bottles in to keep them cold. So that's another $40 we hadn't planned to spend.

We told her we didn't want favors; she is insisting we have them. She said she is going to buy M&Ms, but, once again, won't buy anything for the display or distribution of said M&Ms.

It's a hard balance to keep her involved and let her feel as though she is contributing without us needing to spend an absurd amount of money to get the necessary things that go with her "help."

The guest list and menu, BY FAR

The guest list and RSVPs! I'm over my venue's maximum. I'm hoping for a lot of declined invites from out of state family. I just started the RSVP process and I'm trying to be patient waiting for responses.

Not procrastinating the things I don't want to do. I'm so tired of messing with my programs that I keep putting them off but I have to buckle down and finish them!

Guest list!!! FH can not agree on anything when it comes to guest list! The number of people, which people, etc! It's a never ending battle. Hahah

The guest list and catering/food so far

Picking the specific songs for dances, the ceremony, etc.

We had to change our ceremony venue a week before the wedding. Needless to say I drank a lot of wine that week.

Weirdest thing? Finding my accessories has been the hardest thing for me!! I can't make a decision on my own about any of them, and I don't know why.

Guest list definitely! Especially since our venue has a minimum of 115 and a max capacity of 150. I also have a huge family so that didn't help lol

Picking which beers and wine to get. Wine is going okay, but beer is such an unknown world to me.

Table linens, believe it or not, have been the hardest thing for me to coordinate.

For me the hardest part is all the little, or not so little decisions that need to be made that I don't have a strong opinion about. Neither me nor my FH care about many of the details and because I am the bride it seems I am expected micromanage everything.

I came so close to exploding at my mother when she called me, 6 months before the wedding, during my most stressful week of work to ask me what color shirt my stepdad should wear for the wedding.

Definitely the opinions of others and trying to do things you love but also pleasing your family & friends.

I QUICKLY learned what to and what not to ask people for opinions on.

Dress shopping!

Guest List...and swallowing to costs (or the idea around them really).

Guest list, guest list, guest list

Guest list!!

Guest book! We are 17 days out and still have no idea what we're doing. We want to something creative, but that's not going to be too difficult or take too long! We keep changing our minds haha

The people you have to deal with aka FMIL, venue
