Smile New Bride-to-be!

My fiance and I got engaged on December 28... a little over 4 months ago! However, I have had to put off all the exciting planning until now because I have been so busy finishing college. My last day is May 9! Anyway, I am about to dive deep into wedding planning and don't even know when to start! Hopefully I can get some great advice from the girls on this site!!

Welcome Jessica. Have you started to do any of your planning yet? I would start by thinking about if you are going to have a church service or a JOP marry you? Where you want to get married? Where you want to have your reception? Then make sure those venues are available for your date and book them. You said you already found your dress, so that's a good start. Then think about things like music, photos, food, etc... and figure out what is the most important aspects for you and your FH? Those are the ones you are going to want to book right away. Hopefully that will help you get started. There is lots of imformation and great ideas on this site, so just spend a little time reading and you'll have a great start.

Congrates

First i would book the date with the church before anything.
Next, the reception hall
Next, send out Save The Date cards or magnets. I used Best Buy Imprints
Next, Photographer/Video
After, Limos
Everything else you can gradually plan.

BEFORE YOU BOOK WITH ANYONE...MAKE SURE YOU LOOK THEM UP IN THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU...JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE

If you need any ideas for your wedding, feel free to email me.

Good Luck,
Christine

Wink Re: New Bride-to-be!

The lists above are great but, add a baker and a florist in there too. Also try a wedding planning website like weddingchannel.com they will be able to provide you with a more elaborate list and time line plus you can send out save the dates in email form from there. If you do go to a website please don't freak out because those time lines are for people who start planning a year in advance. Starting now you will be fine plus it is going to be the summer soon and everyone has more energy plus hours of sunlight to burn now.
