So our wedding date is set for June 14th and we just decided at the end of december and I am really................stressing out. I have four months and it seems like every day that goes by I get nothing accomplished. Any advice to help me calm down and not stress so much????

Yep! Breathe! then scream! then breathe again. Seriously, Breathe and simply make a list of what needs to be done and prioritize. Also since this is a short time frame figure out what is a HAVE TO thing and what things won't be truly missed if they don't happen. Also make use of your bride's maids and family. Delegating can be helpful but don't get to bossy. And of course, breathe. It makes walking down the aisle much easier

Come up with a plan of what you want to accomplish each month...and if you want break it down to the week so you make sure that you don't push it off till the very end...keeping a schedule will help you with what you have done and what you still need to accomplish! Hope that helps! good luck!

Im trying to stay calm and make lists to go by but working full time and going to school full time its all a little too much to handle. It seems to be coming together but I still feel like I get nothing accomplished. I guess I just need to BREATH and stay calm it will all be perfect Im sure.

I did it in four months, not a problem. 150 guests, dinner, wedding, dance, photos, cake, rehearsal dinner, the whole shebang. It can be done. Good luck!

I (I should really say we) did it in 5. It was smaller (75 people) but we did most everything ourselves. I worked full time and ran my biz on the side and I won't lie, there were some stressful days but it's very do-able. It may not seem like it now but, you WILL get it all done and everything will be beautiful.

When the day comes .... just remember to take some time to take in the day, your new husband and all your hard work

You might want to consider getting a professional wedding planner or a free detail check list from any website of your choice if you are not sure of what you need to do.

We also just decided on the date about a month ago and we have the 08/08/08 target. I am not stressing out because I took the check list and decided I was simply going to jump a plane and get married in Jamaica whereby they plan everything for you. I only have to take care of the add ins and my guest list. For sure the guest list will shrink drastically but hey I will enjoy every minute of it anyway.

At this point I am having fun looking for my dress and chosing the wording for the entire ceramony. I found a great website for it too.

The best thing to do is not to panic. Take the check list and put it in order of priority and get them done. Do not clutter your thoughts with all there is to do

We often get overwhelmed that way. One thing at a time and one day at a time. You'll see you will have it all done when the day comes.

Yeh I shouldnt be stressing as much as I am. We are going to Hawaii to get married on the beach. My fiance's aunt and uncle do Barefoot Weddings on the Beach for a living so she does this all the time. So she is taking care of everything mainly. All I need to worry about is getting myself and family there really. I hope to be able to quit stressing becuz I am almost done except for planning the reception.

I don't think you have too much to worry about. 4 months is more than enough time to plan a reception especially if you have family members on location to help you out

My little girl's dream was to marry in Hawaii but I had to change my destination due to concessions. It will still be a destination wedding and honeymoon. We will change hotels for the second week but will remain in Jamaica.
