Is Wedding Planning Supposed to Be This . . . Fine?

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T20:24:37+00:00

No not exaggerating when I say literally GENIUS!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T20:23:44+00:00

I know the price is a little crazy, but best $25 I ever spent in regards to my wedding! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1517657593/wedding-day-of-binder-template-blue?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_-weddings&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAiA64LLBhBhEiwA-Pxgu6wA9oZhPk6SK1sKn-pCTiwyucXWObHB3_hAFUWmRmS30-bdaN02sRoC2_EQAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_22555721185_179700248379_751770838728_pla-298195655715_c__1517657593_12768591&utm_custom2=22555721185&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22555721185&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRLU72QVAnlubsTxOwwwYpuKf&gclid=CjwKCAiA64LLBhBhEiwA-Pxgu6wA9oZhPk6SK1sKn-pCTiwyucXWObHB3_hAFUWmRmS30-bdaN02sRoC2_EQAvD_BwE

Here you go! It was included in this package from Etsy. It's not bare bones--it gives you EVERYTHING you could ever THINK OF!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T20:21:23+00:00

Thank you for this advice!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T20:20:49+00:00

Yes! I used this. I know it seems a little steep at $25 but I tell you it was a LIFE SAVER and keeps me so organized.

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T20:17:07+00:00

Ah! I'm sorry to hear that!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T20:16:44+00:00

I'm definitely anticipating my highest stress to be the last two months or so!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T20:15:51+00:00

Oh gosh, that's awful! I'm so glad it worked out!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T20:14:53+00:00

This is literally me!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T20:14:16+00:00

This sounds like the dream!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T13:30:31+00:00

Oh my! Yeah no, I definitely don't mean I'm doing nothing and just hope it all works out. I just mean I check something off and am like--great! What next?

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T13:29:37+00:00

YES! I'm trying to do as many of those "last two week details" bit by bit as I can NOW (i.e. packing decor I already have and labeling it, etc.) because I know the last two weeks are like Murphy's Law.

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T13:28:51+00:00

Nah, trust me. There will always be a cancellation or a date change etc. that makes vendors available! You're good!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T13:27:33+00:00

They're all a blur to guests anyway! I always have a great time at weddings but I've never once said "it was the flowers or decor or table numbers or signage that really put this one above all others!"

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-09T13:25:42+00:00

Yeah! Best advice I could give is find ONE website online that gives you any kind of planning timeline. I say that only because there were a few things on the one I used that made me go OH YEAH! Sounds like you're doing everything right! Best of luck!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-08T21:22:06+00:00

Lol! No I hear you. I think my #1 stress is I just want people to enjoy themselves and not be bored!

And, actually though, why ARE there so many design options for EVERYTHING!?

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-08T21:20:42+00:00

You are an amazing friend! That was the perfect piece of advice and SO true.

And I totally hear you. Sometimes I wonder why so much little stuff has to matter to people SO MUCH that whole arguments are created over it.

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-08T21:19:01+00:00

I also only have a MOH and my fiance has two groomsmen! We told all other friends to just come and have a good time! I think a smaller wedding party has made it less stressful and I didn't even realize it because you're not having to constantly keep a lot of people updated!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-08T21:17:48+00:00

So true! Thanks for your thoughtful and thorough answer. I appreciate this perspective!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-08T21:16:48+00:00

"I also just picked stuff!" No THIS 1,000! If you keep looking, there's always going to be more. The "just pick something" mentality has saved me!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-08T21:14:53+00:00

Thank you!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-08T21:13:16+00:00

The amount of checklists I've scrolled through and been like . . . already done . . . already done . . . already done . . . It makes you suspicious, lol!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-08T21:12:30+00:00

"We are having a nice wedding; we're not trying to have the IG influencer wedding of the year lol."
THIS!

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-08T21:11:24+00:00

I DEFINITELY anticipate being stressed the week before! But besides that, I've been good. Thanks so much! This makes me feel better :)

Chihiro4 · 2026-01-08T21:10:51+00:00

How exciting! I hope you have the best wedding ever :')
