Event planning is tough.
Life is tough but event planning makes it a lot harder.
With my upcoming wedding just two weeks away now we are in full planning mode to have things ready. Working around two jobs and two kids adds a few levels of difficulty to the situation but to be honest we are almost there with the plans.
All of the big things are booked since last years.
- Venue
- Church
- Music
- Food
- Day 2
And everything that goes with it. We have finally settled the guest list and can put them into tables this week. That is half done but we need to finish off the job depending on who is talking to who and any other considerations that we might have missed before now.
We have a lot of the smaller tasks sorted as well with transport and babysitters lined up for the few days. A small holiday for ourselves after and everything in between.
One of the cars is hired, one is from a friend. It's like an old and modern matching pair.
What we really have to focus on for now is lists. What we are bringing, what people are doing, schedules for the whole weekend. All that nitty gritty stuff that takes time.
But there is more.
Unfortunately my best friend is getting married this year as well and i have to organize his stag party. The timing couldn't be worse as it's in July and i need to do all of the work now to have it ready while also trying to plan a wedding.
Not a strong point of mine at any time. Never mind two big events on top of each other.
But I have a handle on it this week. I put the time in and have a good plan set up for the weekend.
Friday
- Golf
- Drinks.
Saturday.
- Go carting & Paintball.
- More drinks.
I found an apartment in Galway that has 18 single beds which is ideal for the group.
The golf is on a good course nearby for the Friday. Then there is a massive go cart track by the city for Saturday that do a carting and paintball package that he will love.
All in all it's lined up for a good weekend away for the lads. Even if the headaches of organizing it all were a bit of a hassle.
Now back to the wedding and another two weeks of planning and preparing.

I feel your pain and why weddings are a once off event never to be repeated lol. Good luck and have fun because I can only imagine how bad Irish mates can be in a good way of course.
You haven't send invites yet? Pretty late
Trying to organize something big like a wedding or a party often turns into madness when you have work and children at the same time and there are always more things to do than you think, such a draining task 😩 , like assigning roles or making sure you're booking a good venue and then you have all those lists to keep track of what's left to do and what's already been done, and organizing things for a group can also be difficult because you have to make sure everyone has a place to sleep and that there are enough things to keep people entertained and it's easy to forget all the work that goes into it, since most people only show up when everything is ready and don't see all the sacrifice so to speak that it took to get there.
