Whelp - time running out!

PermaGrin, on April 26, 2022 at 1:17 AM Posted in Planning 6 8

Oh my - the time is so close and we have had a few mishaps. We had a lot of unexpected non wedding related drama that made time slip away!

First the bridesmaids dresses did not look appropriate on ALL the girls - so we ordered completely new dresses - they should arrive 5/13 giving us 5 weeks before the wedding date - so fingers crossed this works well! This time we KNOW the dress looks great with all 3 girls so I am hoping we caught this in time!

Second - the boys don't have their dress pants yet! We were going to go the suit route - but then moved to the backyard venue. We have now decided to just have the boys in nice dress slacks with a nice button down shirt ( definitely need to decide color! But we will be going to Macy's so this can be something to complete in the next 2-3 weeks)

Third - we need to work on the timing of the ceremony and a spotify playlist

Fourth - only half of my centerpieces have arrived (they were ordered in February and then we had shipping issues as they are coming from China)

Fifth - OH MY GOSH so much yardwork!

Sixth - my almost mailed the invitations this morning without having included reply envelopes for the response cards - I was soooo happy I caught that and rushed ordered some envelopes off of amazon for arrival tomorrow

Know real questions here - just looking for some morale support. The best part is - my dress is going as scheduled so I do know my dress will be dreamy. know I just need to shove my back fat into it!

    I think my wedding is the weekend after yours (June 25th) and we've been having similar mishaps lately as well. Tomorrow will be the 4th time my fiancé tries on his suit because it was wrong the last 3 times! Fingers crossed tomorrow is the last time. One of finance's groomswomen still needs to pick out a dress. She has one and has 2 on the way and will hopefully finally make a decision. And my dress fitting yesterday did not go as planned...it was the first one and I ended up going back and voicing my concerns, so hopefully the alterations will go well! I guess I'm telling you this so you know you're not alone and mishaps and delays are totally normal! I think the last 2 months of the process can be the most stressful but you got this and everything will work out in the end!

    I feel you. I am getting married May 14th and I wanted a small intimate wedding which we are technically having.....but DANG there are SO MANY details you just don't think of. At the end of the day everything will come together. I'm so bad at asking for help so I highly suggest asking for as much help as possible. People genuinely like to feel needed and love to help. Just breathe!

    Same! FH and I are getting married June 4 and it is coming way too quickly 😂 I’m starting to realize there is so much more that goes into a wedding than just hiring vendors. The tiny details are stressing me out and I don’t have time for them! 😅

    I am hoping your alterations go better now that you were able to express your concerns. My seamstress made my top too tight because it is strapless - but I added straps! Now I look like I have back cleavage Smiley amazing

    I am sure we will pull these dates together! So many little details at the end!

    Thank you for the reminder - I have been resistant asking for help -but I do know some people Genuinely want to feel involved and help. I am so excited your day is approaching - I am sure all the details will be perfect (or if not - we will be the only ones to notice!)

    You’ll be just fine! I just had to find an off the rack dress 14 days out from mine (now 9 days) because alterations couldn’t make mine fit properly (it’s way too big) and that worked out perfectly. You have time for everything to fall into place. Just breathe!
