The earlier you start planning, the better! Aim to begin at least 9-12 months before your wedding. This gives you enough time to book the perfect venue, hire vendors, and manage all the details.
Before you get lost in wedding inspiration, set a realistic budget. Include all expenses, from the venue to the decor, and stick to it. This will keep things manageable and prevent any unexpected surprises.
A detailed timeline is your best friend. Create a schedule for everything—venue visits, vendor meetings, dress fittings, and rehearsal dinners. Staying on track helps ensure nothing is overlooked.
If the budget allows, hire a wedding planner. They can handle the details, leaving you stress-free and able to enjoy your special day. If you can’t, consider using a wedding coordinator for the day-of!
Pick bridesmaids who will support you throughout the planning process and be there on the big day. Choose people who are reliable, responsible, and can help with tasks as needed.
Create a guest list early on. It’ll help you choose the right venue, plan catering, and manage your budget. Remember, it’s your special day, so invite those who truly matter!
Remember, this is a celebration! Take time to enjoy the planning process. Have fun with your partner, friends, and family. Take breaks and make memories along the way.
