Congratulations on your engagement! The next few months will be a whirlwind adventure like nothing you have ever experienced before. Make sure that you plan ahead so you can relax and take in all the wonderful memories awaiting you with those you hold most dear to your heart!Here is a quick 10 Step guide to everything you should be doing now to plan the wedding of your dreams.Wedding Planning Tip #1:Set A Date
Set your date first! This will allow your family and friends time to reserve the date. It will also give you the pick of the liter when it comes to venue, caterer, photographers, wedding rings, dresses, etc!
Wedding Planning Tip #2: Set Your Budget
Don't leave your wedding with sticker shock! There are some many ways you can save money when planning a wedding so you can spend a little extra on special things, or keep it in your pocket for when you buy a house. Set a realistic budget and talk to your family to see if they are planning on contributing. Don't be surprised a month out from the wedding when you are responsible for the rehearsal dinner. This will also give you an opportunity to decide if you want to bring in a wedding planner or do it on your own.
Wedding Planning Tip #3: Start A Pinterest Board
Pinterest is a great place to brainstorm ideas, colors, themes, etc! However, when you eventually sit down with your vendors, listen to their expert opinion. While Pinterest is full of great ideas some are just not practical.
Wedding Planning Tip #4:Talk To Your Fiance
Some fiances are more involved than others, you want to make this an exciting time for both of you. Take a moment to listen to their thoughts, wishes, and ideas and see how you can meld your visions so the end theme is reflection of your life together.
