| I feel very calm about my wedding plans. Everyone keeps saying to me "Not long to go now! (4 month) you must be really busy". But im not! Is there something that I should be doing that i've forgotten? I've gotten most of the big things sorted like DJ, photographer, venues, catering, celebrant, marquee. My invitations are pretty much done and ready to be printed, which i'll have done in a couple of weeks. I'm getting my dress next weekend. So far all i can think of thats left is flowers, bridesmaids dresses, rings, layout of marquee, order of service & placecards & favors (i know what i want, just haven't sorted them). The groom and groomsmen need to organise their own attire. My In-laws are organising the booze. What am I missing? Or am i just stress-free like it should be?Oops yes, the cake is sorted. I let my mum organise it all.. i don't even know what it looks like!Also, my fiance is sorting the honeymoon. I'm pretty sure we'll have a honeymoon registry. |

| ... cake?Well then, yeah I guess you're good! I know I'd just be worried about my fiance and his GM, but that's just me. I also want to be very hands on with the songs that are played.The only other thing that might stress you out is getting those RSVPs back. |

| don't worry, it'll come. even with all the best laid plans, something comes along and ruins it. so unless you have back ups for every single little detail... |

| Sounds like you have everything well organized, and are enjoying your stress-free time. My husband and I actually did a lot of work for our wedding to keep costs down, but it was never very stressful because we had it all organized ahead. congratulations! Enjoy your wedding! |

| You're doing a whole lot more than I want to do but I'm not really that stressed about it. A lot of people try to do too much and end up getting burned out. If you forgot something then don't worry too much about it. It won't mean your marriage is doomed or anything like that. |

| I am not stressed about our wedding either, I think it is because we are not high maintenance.Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and about not being a bridzilla, laid back is the best! |

| It sounds like you're not stressed because you've got everything sorted. Same here. We're getting married the first weekend in February, and there are no major stresses at all. We've done everything except get rings, book a DJ, and order a few flowers. We only started planning a couple of months ago, and we're doing it all ourselves. If you're organized, somewhat flexible, and a little laid-back, there's no need to stress. |

Some people handle the stresses of wedding planning better than others. I too, found that even until a month before, I was very relaxed. If you are organized... things usually work out as planned and nothing gets overlooked. It sounds like you are well organized. I thought I was too calm as well, but in the end, everyone found I was a pleasure to be around and the wedding went almost exactly as I had planned. So no worries....consider yourself lucky that you are not stressed. Your body will thank you  |

| As long as you have booked all of your vendors and are not missing any vendors then you are doing fine. When planning a wedding (if it is well planned) you will have a time in between the time you book the vendors until the crunch time 2-3 weeks before the wedding where it will be relatively quiet.You will need to make sure that you order your bm's dresses in time for them to arrive and be altered if necessary. Otherwise, you can just relax until time to send the invitations and keep track of the rsvp's. Then you will be deciding the layout of the reception, timelines, and table arrangements. |

| You're fine, enjoy the fact that you're not stressed out. I was that way until this week - dealing with a major event at work and realizing my fiance is turning into a Groomzilla right before my eyes! But as long as I can get through the work thing and calm my fiance down, I'll be calm again. I just have a week and half to go! |

| You have everything under control and are completely not stressed??GOOD FOR YOU!!! Seriously!! People stress too much over their weddings. I spend a lot of time dealing with brides (wedding photographer), and I just wish I could convince HALF of them that they don't need to give themselves anxiety attacks over it. (In all fairness, I did get rather stressed over my own wedding...looking back, I wish I hadn't)Enjoy the preparations, and enjoy your day. |

| I was the same way. My husband and I had a fantastic time planning our wedding. I think it comes down to each person's personality and how organized one is. Some brides are just naturally more dramatic and/or disorganized so their entire planning period is chaotic and horrible. I feel sorry for those brides because I'm sure they'll always remember their engagement period as being horrible. I will say, with 4 months to go,you should have all of those things already sorted out. Don't wait! |

| I started planning our wedding 11 months ahead of time. No stress when you are organized.You have some down to the minute hitches that you will work out, but if you are organized and stay calm, it is a great day! |
