What to do ? I have 9 months to go till the wedding everything is organised . Feeling pretty fed up right now as all I've got to do is wait . Wait for hair and make up trials , wait for alterations , wait for my hen weekend . it's a lot of waiting ! what have your girls done after planning has ended ? Or what are you planning on doing after you've finished planning ?

Also waiting for people to rsvp is sending me a little mad . Why wouldn't you rsvp as soon as you got the invitation ?

Maybe make a scrapbook of your life together. A little something to share at the wedding or to give as a gift to your significant other

I was like this. Once the RSVPs are back in then you have things to do.. table plan, place names etc but until then it is a bit of a lul....

I remember that feeling, too early to send invites and make final meetings with suppliers, the waiting game wasn't fun! But it's worth the wait, because the exciting final planning stages are fab! x

Top thing is look forward to your wedding day. Maybe spend time really just being with your future partner, and remember it's about being with that person not how many people are there or how much the dress cost x

I'm making a lot of things for the wedding. Maybe go on Pinterest and come up with some ideas for something sentimental you could make for the wedding day. There's always something

Similar situation but i keep thinking of extra things that need to be organised so my lists are getting longer and longer! Just booked our honeymoon and now sorting gifts for bridal party. Once RSVP's start coming in it will be table plan and place names etc x

Attend wedding fairs just for the fun they often hand out wedding freebies, organise a bridal shower... Make the most of being a bride it's a fun run up to the wedding. If you're going on a honeymoon, start an itinerary of things to do, maybe organise a surprise for your h2b once you're away. I made up a little collection of gifts for my husband and gave it to him the night before. There's so much you can do in this time. There may be no more tasks to complete or anything to add, but there's always more to experience as a bride. Make little gifts for bridesmaids? Pamper yourself? Get facials? Go on prewedding shoots? The list is endless, I done loads!!! And it was so much fun

Hahahaha oh my goodness! I wish I'd have been in your position! I felt like all I did was sort wedding stuff for a full year! I did however make everything myself- invites, table decorations, flowers etc. Just try to enjoy the calm before the storm x

Go to some wedding shows etc, spend your life on Pinterest looking at all things wedding related, book another viewing at your venue (just coz).
Practice/play with your own hair/make up..
Do some homemade stuff like Bunting or whatever floats your boat..
go for a facial, coz you know, Bride!!! Great excuse x

Sit back and relax! That’s what I had to do. Now I am 3 days away from getting married and everything still isn’t finalised!!! No matter how organised we have been, there’s always the last minute rush for stuff. Enjoy all the planning. I can’t wait to be married and go away on our honeymoon as husband and wife 😊

I had the same problem! I booked all my wedding in a week and then had to wait 10 months. We decided to focus on doing our house up. The time does drag but as it gets closer it gets more exciting! ️
