Ugh...this last week I feel like everything has hit me all at once. I feel like I've been in a bad mood and I haven't been able to figure out why...well today...I figured it out. I feel so very overwhelmed with the amount of people that are coming and with the amount of (little) things that still need to be done. I go to the mailbox each afternoon to get the mail and have been so excited to see so many people are coming, but now, I feel myself hoping for a few NOs! How terrible is that?? Ugh...terrible! It's not that I don't want our friends and family to be there, it just seems to compound the feelings of guilt for spending all this money on one party and one day. Then there's also the fact that I'm tired of making decisions and tired of having to defend my opinion or argue for what we want on our day. I have actually said to my mother and Mr. G's mother...whatever
you want...(sigh)
In an effort to tackle the projects that I have left to do, here is my list of things that can be done now:
- finish lottery ticket favors
- finish matches
- finalize table songs - DONE
- design seating chart - DONE
- purchase guest book pens - DONE
- print and mount directions signs
- print and mount reserved signs DONE, guest book sign DONE and bar menus
- finalize timeline with photographer
- make hanging monogram for sweetheart table - SUPPLIES ARE PURCHASED
- finish photo share cards
- figure out out of town bags and write letter for them - ELIMINATED
To be done once we have final guest count:
- arrange seating
- print and mount table numbers with chosen songs
- finalize seating chart
- put together kids' favors - DONE
- create detailed schedule for the wedding week and weekend
I'm sure there is plenty that I'm forgetting but I'll get there! Thanks for listening!
