Which 'wedding planning stage' are you in right now?

Lynnie, on January 19, 2018 at 12:24 Posted in WeddingWire 0 30

Quickly after getting engaged we all realize that it isn't all moments of magic and butterflies Smiley heart There's too much planning to do! Sometimes planning can be a little bit of a roller-coaster, and we bet you'll recognize yourself in one of these 'planning stages'!

Which wedding planning stage best describes you right now??


The Shiny and New Stage: Your heart is still a flutter, you can't stop staring at your engagement ring, and you find yourself dropping the word “fiancé(e)” in every conversation. You couldn't be more excited to start this new chapter!

The Pinterest-Possessed Stage: This stage is all about info and inspiration hoarding! You're doing deep dives on the internet, saving articles and pictures, creating docs and planners and can't get enough of Pinterest.

Which 'wedding planning stage' are you in right now? 1


The Logistics Stage: The phase is dedicated to the less glamorous aspects of planning a wedding. Crunching the budget, reading vendor contracts, hunting down mailing addresses, and going through your guest list over and over again. This isn't exactly the engaged bliss you were looking forward to, but this where you get stuff done!

The "OMG It's Actually Happening!" Stage: Wait, where did all that time go? Is this really happening? OMG it's actually happening - you're getting married! And soon!

The Let It Go Stage: You're in the final stretch and your wedding is right around the corner. All your vendors are hired, the decisions have been made, and now it's time to let it all go and enjoy the moment!

    I'm right in the middle of "it's happening" and "let it go". I still have so much to do, but enough time to do it in, but every day I don't check something of my list I feel like I'me being lazy.

    Totally the The Logistics Stage. Wedding is in just under 3 months so not quite at the OMG It's actually happening stage.


    P.S. Why are limo's so expensive?????

    Definitely the "OMG, It's actually happening stage!" I had that yikes moment a few weeks ago. Getting married in just over 6 weeks! All those little things still need to get done, but I'm enjoy every minute of the planning process.

    I’d say I’m between the Pinterest and logistics stage. I’ve created file folders for each different thing that has to be researched and paid for. So one for the venues, one for florist, one for officiant and dj’s and such. Crazy all the planning that’s involved.

    I think I’m in the “omg” stage. There’s still a little of the logistics stage in there every now and then, but everything is booked, we just have the little details left and we just passed the 200 day mark. The “omg” is real right now! Haha

    Caught in the middle of logistics and Pinterest crazy! I bought my dress and booked my florist this weekend though, so that’s helped me get a better idea of my wedding vision and am starting to avoid Pinterest so I don’t get overwhelmed haha

    I'm in between the logistics and let it go. A lot of stuff is done and I don't have to think about it anymore until day of (may this year). The rest feels like constant planning and re-planning. Just got our catering quote today and it's $2,000 over our original budget so that was shocking. Almost as much as the venue itself!

    Logistics and a category that I just invented today called: Delegating AF 😂 I just delegated the bathroom baskets and kids table activities and toys. Things I was looking forward to putting together, but I just have too many other tasks I should be focusing on.

    Logistics. I know how I want everything now, it's just waiting for spring to work on the centrepieces and other decor.

    We are both creating lists of what we think needs to happen. Then, we are revising that list because it gets too long and we decide some things just aren't important.

    Logistics for sure. Just had engagement photos done so now working on finalizing the guest list and gathering addresses for the save-the-dates.

    I feel like I will be in this phase until about a month before the wedding because I am constantly making lists, re-checking, then checking again. For everything. FH thinks I'm nuts but hey at least I'm organized.

    P.S Great question!

    Definitely the logistics. We just finished finding the last few addresses we needed before we send out invites and started putting them all together and sealing. We just need to purchase more stamps then we are good to go! We are making a bunch of lists of things we still need to buy and what we owe to vendors to keep our finances on track.
