i am getting married in 2 weeks?

Question

i am getting married in 2 weeks and we havent finished with all the planning,,, any ideas to keep it simle but nice without losing my mind????

Answer 1

1. don't worry about creating a seating arrangement, this will cause problems during the wedding and reception, and it will ruin what should be your day.

2. keep food simple, a buffet style dinner works the best, that way people can get what they want

3. don't go overboard on flowers and decorations for the wedding, instead think of practical decorations that you will be able to reuse for your home after the wedding--candles, table clothes (put the candles on top of silver platters it reflects the light and you can use the platters around the holidays)

4. have an open bar, not one that you pay for, but one that if people want to drink they buy it themselves.

5. looking to make a little extra cash in order to pay for the final cost of the wedding, have a "dollar" dance--this is where anyone who wants to dance with you or your new husband gives you a dollar/him a dollar (I had some people actually give me $20 bills) its a good way to make extra money

Answer 2

If you're sweating over things like bridesmaid shoe color doesn't match bridesmaid dresses, then just keep in mind that the wedding day goes by very quickly. If you look back 5 years from now, some of these things won't matter anymore.

If you're sweating over things like you still don't have a DJ / band, or you don't have a dress, then girl, get your friends and family, including your groom, to help out. 2 weeks is still a lot of time, and you can still make a lot of things happen, but you will definitely need help.

Good luck.

Answer 3

a wedding is simply a ceremony followed by a party. It is really just a party.

Pick one or two things that are very important to you and focus your money and energy there. Do everything else to the best of your ability but really the only thing that matters at this point is that in two weeks you will be married to the person of your dreams.

Who cares what flavor the cake is or which bridesmaid walks down the aisle first? The most important detail has already been handled - the identity of the bride and the groom.

Answer 4

I wouldn't worry too much about the planned perfection of your wedding.....5 years from now it will not be a big deal. I've been married 24 years and what I wish I would have spent more money and time on is my pictures and the photographer. I still like to look back on the 4th best day of my life, the first three are the days that my 3 children were born.....blessings to you as you begin your life with your husband to be!

Answer 5

I'm a huge procratinater and did everyhting for my wedding myself. Including my gown and eight others. It was very stressful. But when that day actually comes you forget all about that and it is just the two of you and nothing else matters. I even forgot to tell someone to go get the cake. My husband said I ws so calm he was worried I had been abducted by aliens. What's the point in freaking out. You're getting married!

Answer 6

I have tons of suggestions...Alope was the first thing that came to mind, but if you insist on a big to do, then formal ceremony, and informal reception. Pig roasts do fairly well...buffet style is cheap. Enlist the help of your older relatives who love to cook. See if they can make one dish each, check your local VFW...the halls are inexpensive to rent out. Keep in mind that everyone is attending to celebrate your marriage, not critique your planning. I've been to the most lavish weddings and have been bored off my butt, and I've been to the backyard bbq, ones where the teenager got to play dj with mom and dad's stereo, The men get to play bartender, table settings were picnic tables with daisies for the centerpiece, and have had the time of my life. It seems like family gets along better if it's a relaxed environment. So stop stressing, take a deep breath and relax. Nothing in this world is perfect and nobody expects you to be.

Answer 7

Well first of all CONGRATS! Second, write a list of all that needs to be done. Have three columns
1. what it is that needs to be done
2. when it needs to be done by
3. when it was completed
When you start to finish some things and you cross them off of your list you will feel much better! Just remember to breathe and take it one step at a time! It will all work out. And don't forget to ask for help from the groom, bridal party and family. That is what they are there for is to help!
Congrats again!

Answer 8

Don't worry about the little things.

Think about making the relationship good in the long term. Face it...not everything will be perfect. In fact, perfect is just a dream to go for.....

Try to work out frequently and manage you and your fiances stress. Smile alot and don't forget to laugh about everything. You are making a memory to look back on over the years.....and remembering the planning won't be in your memory. What you will remember is how you laughed it off and managed dealing with all those people who thought they were being helpful.

Be your sweetie's best friend...and be happy. This is a magical time. Take pictures...and delegate the yucky parts to "helpful" people. Remember to wear a pretty smile.

Good luck to both of you

Answer 9

I think you should get someone to help you with all the tasks such as a housekeeper or something. Well I wish you soooo much love and I hope you last for a million years together.

Don't forget that the most impotant thing is to be happy all the time and don't get too much stress because at Honey-moon you are going to need a lot of energy :)

Answer 10

o.m.g you poor thing i think wedding planning and going insane are one in the same i have one word for you delegate,find a girlfriend or a female relative who has already been down the long and winding road of wedding planning to help you out .you can easily oversee everything and make final decisions without having to be everywhere at once.this is supposed to be the happiest time of you're life the last thing you want to do is become a bridezilla you have you're entire marriage to be a control hand the reigns to someone else foe a bit put up you're feet .or you can always drink alot of vodka....vodka helps good luck and congratulations on you're upcoming nuptials.
