Activity for desiree

So me and my fiancê got engaged this past Janurary and I've been wanting to do a DIY wedding so bad! I live in illinois and I only wanna budget like 3,000 max for the whole wedding. Problem is i dont know where to have a DIY wedding at... Sounds...

I am not getting married till May of 2019.. We got engaged this year in January. Everyone was so happy for us but we never announced our wedding date yet. Is it way to soon to announce the date yet?
