ok, well, the best idea I could come up with would be a little pricey, a couples massage... but barring that - hey I know what it's like to be broke! here's what I'd suggest... 1st set aside some time in the morning to just be together... NO TALK OF WEDDING DECISIONS and it doesn't have to be a lot of time, but maybe a nice comfortable breakfast and enjoying each others company.... then set a specific time frame for wedding talk - maybe it's an hour, maybe it's 3. Start with a couple of lists - the first one - What's important about the wedding. Second - What's preventing this perfect day - your wedding - from happening as planned. I find that helps me to keep things in perspective. Then sit down with your husband to be and make decisions the two of you can deal with... maybe it is running to the courthouse and eloping to avoid it all... maybe it's scaling down a bit if finances are an issue... I'll shoot you an email with further advice... hope this helps but remember, you will remember the day you wed forever - but it's funny the things you remember... I don't remember how the flowers look, or how the food tasted, or even (as bad as this sounds) who all was there. What I remember most of all was looking in my husband's eyes, feeling completely adored, and saying my vows. That's the important thing.
Once you've exceeded the time you allowed for wedding talk, that's it - no more. enjoy the rest of the day, curl up with a good movie or whatever and again enjoy each others company...and even at "that" time, massages always feel good. perhaps you could give eath other one...just a thought.

I'd say a nice brunch, favorite desserts, light some candles, give some back massages, and plan away. What about rollerskating. It'll be fun and make you relaxed (from being tired, lol) Oh and make sure to have lots of chocolates around. Listen to music, dance with one another.
Have fun

Hiking. You need an outdoor physical activity to keep your mind off it. Go outside and go hiking or rent a canoe and go paddle on the lake. A biking trail. Get tickets to a sporting event--even a local college team. You could go watch any sport and that wouldn't cost much. Definitely do something that require enough concentration that your mind isn't constantly going back to wedding planning.

Each of you make a list, "I feel loved when..." Share lists and do something on the list.
(Great quote from Michele Weiner-Davis: "Real giving is when we give to our spouses [fiance/fiancee] what's important to them, whether we understand it, like it, agree with it, or not.")
I assume from your question that you need/want to make some wedding decisions. What better time than when you aren't exhausted from work and you are in a positive frame of mind. A lot of couples find this exercise very positive.

The only de-stressing that works for me are those which involve NO other people, not even hub. Because it is other people who stress me out!
For me, a nice takeout meal that I am in the mood for. I eat, then pick out a nice trashy magazine, put in my earbuds and listen to music while reading. No phones, no answering the door or addressing anyone's list of complaints.
Just tune out the world for however long it takes to de-stress.

Cook a big breakfast together in the morning, go to the movies in the afternoon - and then in the evening, visit the first place that you went to on your first date... or go to your favorite restaurant for dinner.

Sometimes the best times is when you just veg out in your comfy warm sweats cuddling...watch one movie of each's choice and order a pizza or the other option is make a meal together...I would say nude but well...that wouldn't work for you right now (BUMMER!) .
Write a list of all the reasons you love eachother...awww....I need to do that!! :) It's nice to feel appreciated and never forget why you're getting married in the first place--YOU LOVE EACHOTHER! :))
What big decisions bud? You know I'm here to listen. :))
EDIT: I wrote you. :))

a lot of nail places give deals early in the week for mani/pedi's.. i am a firm believer in cold weather pedicures.. it is so relaxing to sit there with your feet in warm soapy water when its cold outside.. some of these places also do 10 minute massages for $10..

A good bottle of wine, a good ol' re-run on TV, take out food and absolutley NO talk about the weddding.
Good luck
