We are really trying to put Other People in charge of things as much as possible (so, for instance, my very awesome roommates are in charge of making paper roses with words on them, and Joel's sister is putting together the reception playlist). I can't quite let it go entirely, because it turns out that I do care about things like centerpieces (not a lot, but I can't just give the project away entirely, because, after all, it is our wedding and our party).

But there's still a lot that we have to do ourselves (like meeting with the florist and such, and also things that I want a certain way, like the invitations). And I want more time to do it in.

Right now I don't think I could handle a week long break of wedding planning. It would start to stress me out how much needs to be done. I'm trying to take off at least one evening a week and do whatever I want. I'm also trying to make goals and work towards them (like having the invitations out by mid-September, so looking for paper the past few weeks). It feels like we've cut everything that we don't actually care about (like wedding favors) and there are still many important things left, like flowers and food.

I'm doing better today, though. I have paper for invitations and it is pretty (it may not be the perfection I would have liked to have found, but I really do like what we are doing for our invitations because it is awesome and us and pretty and involves pretty paper and pretty fonts, both of which fill me with glee).
