Over or Under: Wedding Planning 15 Hours a Week?

Under now, it was more when I first started planning. I wanted to get everything done fast.

Under. We are very blessed to be able to afford a full service wedding planner.

It varies week to week some are definitely over (I spent 12 hours doing wedding stuff last Saturday alone) but, some weeks I did barely any planning. Overall I'd say it averages out to about 10-15 hours a week or so.

It definitely varies. Some weeks were welllll over 15 hours, and some I didn't do any planning.

Under!! I'm in school still. I don't have 15 hours to spend on the wedding right now!

Under, at most maybe 5hrs a week. And it will all be done by December, giving me a nice 5 month breakfast before the wedding.

When I first started planning, I was probably close to 15 hours of planning a week, lol. But probably since some months ago, it's definitely slowed down as the day got closer.

I totally understand what you mean! I'm in school too and I barely have time to brush my hair

Definitely under though I might spend that much time thinking about planning

Definitely over. A 300+ person wedding at a venue that doesn't have anything in-house (so outside rentals, catering, security, transportation, etc) means a TON more work. Luckily our coordinator comes on in a few weeks so hopefully I can cut some of that back.

These days it is closer to a couple hours a day but if you were to ask me 6-8 months ago, it was probably 8hrs a day.

Under!! My wedding is small and simple, and everything was included in our package!

Probably spending that much time but not bc I have to. Just bored.

Depends!

I think about the wedding for definitely 15 hours a week, but actual planning depends on where we are at with it!

Actually planning of the wedding, under 15hours a week. Thinking about the wedding, I am probably around 15 hours a week

Good Lord! Nowhere near 15 hours a week. We got the officiant and the three venues booked in the first couple of weeks, then did absolutely nothing for the next five months.

Planning is under 15 hours per week now. We are doing a small wedding in Paris and I was able to book everything pretty quickly. Now I just causally look at ideas for decorations but I pretty much know what I’m going to do.

I'd like to say under, but I guess when you add up all the little minutes doing this and that maybe not....

Chrystal, you're getting married in Paris?! That sounds absolutely amazing!! That would be my dream wedding!! Where in Paris are you getting married!?

For the first several months, it was over that. Now, with so many things taken care of, decided, confirmed, it is under that.
