Staying organized is the only way I stayed sane. Whatever that means for you, for me hubby bless his heart is so sweet and wants to help but completely clueless so I created a workplan on google sheets and assigned owners and due dates (consultant thing to do, I know but it worked). Once venue was picked and save the dates were sent, I felt a whole lot better. I also really liked the Knot and their website feature was a blessing as it was great for people to find info themselves instead of asking me. I also had a master spreadsheet with list of vendors, amount owed/ payed, budget to actual comparison to stay on track... I also had an ethnic 2 day event so multiply it all by 2. Stress will be your middle name, cry if you have to, take a walk, take a day off, find your happy place and have fun. Congratulations and good luck!

Start with the knot and enter all those to dos into a spreadsheet. Include costs and due dates, and update as you go

I like WeddingWire over the Knot...their guest list management tool seemed better. But yes to a google sheet with tabs for vendors, guest lists, etc

Hello, in my previous organisation I worked in development domain (Oracle IAM Tool and Java)and my post was software Engineer, i joined Wipro as project Engineer in April 2022 and was assigned non technical project as an analyst.

I fought my way hard to get released from the project. However my designation is changed as Analyst. Should I ask for change in designation as I know that analyst is non-technical profile? Would my designation impact my future role as well?

I just learned I was parentified severely, especially emotionally. The discovery came from outside of therapy, but having a place every week to sit down, slow down & reflect def led to it.

I'm working on extricating myself and finding my identity again in a way that will be easy on my conscience and values..so I'm learning! Please dont hesitate to go to therapy!...
