When it comes to planning your special day, being organized is extremely important. Creating a to-do list will help you stay organized and following a timeline will take away the stress before your wedding day. Of course, none of the lists will be exactly the same, but we present you the most crucial points that almost every couple should consider before tying the knot.
We believe that the ideal planning time frame is between 10 and 12 months, in this period you will manage to allocate your time to every detail without over-stressing yourself. Wedding planning is an extremely time and energy-consuming process, so don’t lose time and get to work shortly after your engagement.
10-12 months:
- If your parents have not met yet, this is a perfect time to set up a meeting
- Set a wedding budget — the earlier you decide on it, the easier it will be to make further decisions
- Choose a season and a month when you would like to exchange your vows
- Start thinking about the number of guests
- Choose a wedding venue and ask about available date
6-9 months:
- Finalize your guest list
- Start looking for a wedding dress
- Choose a photographer, hairstylist, caterer and florist
- Select a band and book the entertainment
3-5 months:
- Start preparing your wedding invitations
- Look for desired decorations and start purchasing them
- Choose a honeymoon destination
1-2 months:
- Finalize seating plan
- Send out your wedding invitations
- At this points, it is time to reconfirm all of your bookings for pre-reserved services – photographer, hairstylist, caterer
The Wedding Day
- Stay calm and enjoy yourself!
