10 Signs You are Too Stressed Out With Wedding Planning

After the initial wave of engagement excitement has begun to wear off and you find yourself knee-deep in wedding planning, you may start to see yourself getting a little more stressed out than usual. Constant decision making, pressure-filled deadlines to get everything picked and planned ASAP, and the occasional nags from family members may have you feeling like you’re going to explode at any moment and desperately need to take a step back and unwind. Unsure if you’re moments away from a wedding planning meltdown? Here are 10 signs you’re too stressed out with your wedding planning tasks.

 

1. You’re Getting Constant Headaches

These are the kinds of headaches that even Advil can’t help you kick. If you’re getting one of these on a weekly basis, it’s time you take a deep breath and go on a short wedding planning moratorium.

 

2. The Countdown to Your Wedding Makes You Feel Faint-Like

Counting down to your wedding should fill your stomach with butterflies and not make you feel like you’re going to have a premature nervous breakdown.

 

3. The Transformation into Bridezilla is Real

Every time someone asks a wedding related question, you feel your inner Bridezilla rise to the surface like a case of Acid Reflux.

Going to the gym or shopping the clearance racks at your favorite store don’t make you light up and relax you like they used to.

Your friends and family members are tip toeing around you because they know that any comment, question or piece of advice may set you off.

 

6. The Joke of Eloping Floats Around

You start to wonder, ask, and even plan a way to give up your wedding dreams and run off an elope some place simple.

 

7. Your Free Time is All Wedding – All the Time

You’ve overscheduled yourself to be all wedding, all the time and can’t carve out a minute, or two, for anything else.

 

8. The Procrastination is Real

You are in constant staring contests with your to-do list and don’t find yourself ever checking anything off.

 

9. The Questions Start Popping in Your Head

Every time you think about your wedding, you pause and think about the “what-ifs”.
