Try and relax - easier said than done I know!
Even if you have forgotten anything, it won't ruin your big day.
Just enjoy the excitement :)
Oh, and congrats!

I had this same problem. I was so exhausted on the first day of our honeymoon that I ended up sleeping most of the day!! So there isn't much you can do about the Adrenalin so you probably shouldn't expect the soundest night's sleep before the wedding. However try using a checklist, make sure you tick things off as they get done and you will begin to feel like you are on top of things. No wedding planning at least 2 hours before bed... it will just get your mind ticking over and are you really going to be able to get anything sorted at this time of night. Have a hot bath with lavender oil (or any relaxing soak) and when you get out your last wedding task of the day is to list anything you think of to be done for the next day, then put it down and go and spend some time with your fiance that isn't focused on planning the wedding. He will love this and it will help with the post wedding blues that occur when your life has been so focused on planning this huge event that when it is over you feel a little lost.
Congratulations and good luck on the big day. Remember take a deep breath, enjoy it, for the guests the best weddings are not huge stage show extravaganzas but the special celebrations where you feel you are sharing a special moment with the Bride and Groom. Many happy returns!!!

Hi,
I am getting married 7 weeks today (December 9th, is that the same date as you?), and I have also done the stressing, waking up in the middle of the night thinking about things I haven't done etc, etc. I often use 2 websites called www.hitched.co.uk and www.confetti.co.uk, they each have wedding planning discussion boards where you can go and ask questions, and read and help with other peoples worries, I usually find that helps me and makes me feel better and a bit more organised!
Also, I have made a list of absolutely everything that needs to be organised/decided on/paid, and what date, no matter how small, and I make sure I keep it with me ALL THE TIME!!! And as soon as I have done something I cross it off, or if I think of anything else, however small, I add it to the list.
I know this all sounds really obvious but it has really helped me to keep on top of things (I'm not exactly the most organised person in the world!!)
Hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Many congrats. I know it's impossible just to suggest you to try to calm down. Remember worrying or staying up at night won't make the wedding any better, instead it will affect your form and make your friends, family and your fiance worried about you. You don't want to look tired on the day, so while you're lying in bed, try to think of something unrelated to your wedding eg your other hobbies, the problems (if any) that your friends are having and how you'd help, or what you getting everyone this Christmas even! You will doze off more easily because as soon as you start thinking about ONE thing to do with your wedding, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 1000th things will occupy your mind within seconds! Enjoy the next 7 weeks, life is an experience and this few months will be one of the most memorable and important chapters. Longing is bliss! Smile!

I was that way the day before my wedding.......so I had to get up and write things down just to clear my mind so I could sleep. If you are thinking of things you need to remember, do that....if you're just worried that maybe you've forgotten something, make a checklist of what you have done and what you have yet to do. Good luck!

Get some Kalms and take two before you go to bed every night, you will soon fall back into a sleep pattern. And take one before you leave the house the day of the wedding, it'll keep all the jitters at bay.
Most of all remember every moment, this is the most special day in your life, it goes so quick. Have a lovely day and a long and happy marriage

Write everything down and relax. Even if some minor things are forgotten its nothing to worry about. Just ENJOY and make sure you get a spa appointment the day before for YOURSELF!!
Congrats and Best of Luck!

It is only natural that your mind is working overtime.Try to relax an hour before bedtime with a milky drink and put a few drops of lavender oil on your pillow. When you are in bed concentrate on relaxing your body a bit at a time starting from the top and working down.

Write down all the things that have been needed..even the ones you've already done, then tick them off....once you've written your list let that be final.... If its not on the list it means you've done or are going to do only what is on there... no more worrying... and hopefully a good few nights sleep.
By the way congratulations and have a really lovely day... it will turn out alright in the end...so don't worry.

If you are worrying then perhaps you are not as organised as your subconsious needs you to be. Do you have a check list with all the things that need to get done before the big day? My list is invaluable and for even more organisation I have given myself deadlines for what needs to be one and by when. Google "wedding checklist" and you'll get a mass of sites all with their lists for the big day - really helps.
Good luck!
