I think that the scariest part of planning a wedding for most people is figuring out when to do things. My advice for that is: do what you think is best & do it the way you want. There are hundreds of articles out there that tell you how long it takes to plan a wedding and when you should do certain parts of the planning process but not a single one is the same. If you feel like your guests need more time to respond to invites, give them more time. If you want to book your venue well in advance, then do it. Plan your wedding the way that makes you happy and causes you the least amount of stress and worry. Make your own planning timeline.
Here are some of my tips for planning:
The very first thing I think you need to do is set a budget. This will be the one thing you constantly refer back to because staying within budget makes for a happy bride and groom ;)! Sometimes this budget depends on guest count so you will want to look at the size of your families and who else you want to invite at this time as well.
Next I would suggest that you pick a venue that fits within your budget and your guest list. If you have a huge guest list then your venue will need to be larger and vise versa. You also need to choose a date of course! But don't pick a date before a venue because some dates may be available and some dates may not be.
After you have a venue you can let your creativity flow and choose your decor and whatnot. This part was the most fun for me because I love knick knacks and incorporating them into the wedding design and I love designing!
There will be a lot of choices involved in wedding planning and it can get overwhelming but the important thing is to stay positive and remember how much fun your special day is going to be.
Don't sweat the small stuff. When the wedding is over you won't even remember what went wrong! All you will remember is what went right!
Keep Calm and Plan on fellow bloggers.
