Is anyone else struggling with planning burn out? We’re 2 months away from the wedding and we’re excited to get married but we’ve been planning for a little over a year and we just struggle to make decisions or find the motivation to do things we need to do for planning.

Me! This is me! And more, unfortunately, I'm just not excited about any of it. It all feels like a chore. I have a planner, but I'm by myself. My family and friends all live in a different state. So I'm alone trying to plan and make decisions for a wedding. I don't even have the excited feeling about getting married. I love my fiancé and want to be with him, but I just can't seem to care about the wedding anymore.

Thank you 😊

Where r you all located? Do you have a day of coordinator? Typically some packages like mine start from 90, 60, 30 days out from your event date.

Maybe you can tell your planner/coordinator to make the decision for you…. If you like her style

Me/us. We have so much going on in terms of work, and our son is out of school for summer. But I genuinely have no motivation at all and I just keep thinking “it’s going to happen”. He have 2.5 months and have done nothing this month. I’m exhausted and overwhelmed and can’t make decisions.

I’m totally exhausted. I’m about 3 months out!

Ugh yes. Three months out and every day feels like a ton of decisions. I know it should be fun to pick out things like a bridal luncheon outfit, and a bachelorette party outfit, but I’m a perfectionist and feel like I’ll choose the wrong thing

I’m excited for my wedding but it’s almost 9 months away and I started planning it over a year ago. However, whenever I’m around friends/family it’s the only thing people want to talk to me about. It’s constant and generally there’s not many updates to give & I’d just rather talk about other things. I work full time & I’m in school right now so I’m stressed about those things and I don’t know how to communicate that I’d just rather not talk about the wedding without sounding ungrateful/happy

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
