Sure, if you let them, the barrage of choices and decisions awaiting your opinion can occupy your every waking moment, but it’s not necessary! Wedding planning should be fun; and it doesn’t need to take over your whole life.

With only 80 days left til the wedding(!!!), we are about to be bombarded with tons of tiny things to do. All of the details come together in these next few months…but today, I took a break. That’s right. I read my magazines and books that didn’t have to do with weddings!
These are all the of magazines I sat down and read before we got engaged. It felt great to get my mind off planning and dream about crocheting, baking, and DIY projects for our new house to do after the wedding.
Have you taken a break from planning?
PS- Craft has some super cute wedding and party planning ideas…I tried to ignore,but couldn’t.
