How soon after your engagement did you start planning your wedding?

We got engaged December last year and wanted a December wedding in 2018. We went in June to set a date and wanted December 8th--and it was booked. We did end up loving our date, though. Venues, especially desirable ones, book up fast. Little details can wait, but you can never start shopping for your vendors too early.

We got engaged in October of last year. So we decided on a budget and started looking at venues within a month. We were initially aiming to get married October this year but after looking at the cost of venues, etc we decided to save and have a longer engagement. We booked our venue in April and have since hired our DJ, photographer and ceremony decorator.

I think you're fine. We got engaged 11/7/16 and are getting married 11/3/17

We had our date picked out before FH officially popped the question.. and our engagement is two days short of a year.... so we got to it right away...

We got engaged January 4 of this year and booked our venue in March for a June 9, 2018 wedding. We wanted to make sure we got the venue and vendors we wanted. So far the time has been flying by!

Depends partly on how long you want to be engaged. We had a venue booked a week after he proposed, but we were together over 5 years before getting engaged and only have a 7 month engagement (I wanted a fall wedding, and didn't want to wait another year).

If you are still using your engagement time to get to know each other and their families and save money for a wedding, you can take your time if you want. Although when someone schedules a wedding more than 2 years out, I wonder how much they actually want to get married.

We got engaged the first week of may 2016. I looked at venues and did some pinning but we didn't start touring until june. I don't think it's ever really "too soon." You're also looking at prime wedding season so a lot of vendors may already be booked.

Got engaged Christmas Eve and got married June 24. We debate a longer engagement and aDW, then decide on something local and shorter. I have no regrets! We knew where we wanted to get married so I contacted the venue and june 24 was available and took it from there.

We got engaged on thanksgiving this past November...we're getting married on April 20th 2018. By April this year I had my venue, caterer, Dj, photographer, make up artist and hair stylist either booked or picked out. Honestly if I could've had the florist booked at this point as well I would've. I get super stressed when I have a lot that needs to be taken care of so I tried to get as much of the big stuff done asap. That way I don't need to worry or stress later about the big stuff. It's all about you guys and your timeline though. I don't think there's any harm in getting a lot of it figured out and done early

I got engaged in January this year and started planning right away. I like having a game plan so I looked at different places and some we could not reserve until a year out so we were prepared when it came to reserving. Everyone says I have plenty of time but I want to have everything finalized by Christmas so that until the wedding all I have to do is make payments for everything.

We got engaged in March, wedding is september or next 2018, I am in full blown wrdding planning mode and we are doing as much as possible now so it isn't as stressful down the road. We also have a 4 yr old and a 2 month old so I need as little added on stress as possible lol I think that year mark give or talr is perfect because so many place are booking like crazy even up to 2 years out.

We got engaged in July but didn't start really planning or even set a date until September. We didn't even tell people until around then. Then our mothers got involved...

It all depends on what you want. One of my friends had a 3 month engagement, mostly due to her FH's military demands, and another who waited almost 5 years.

Got engaged November of 2016. Started planning in march 2017. Our venue had one date in summer of 2018 left... that's how we ended up with our date. I suggest starting asap

We got engaged 12/25/16, and we're getting married 5/19/18. We have a year planning as well so no you're not moving too fast. That year will go by sooooo fast watch!!!

I started planning immediately since we were saving and needed to plan finances. I'm glad I did because I'm getting my expensive dream photographer and couldn't be happier about that!

That's plenty of time. We had a long engagement and totally ok with it. Do what you feel is right and screw what everyone else says

ETA: spelling

I don't think it's too soon. I got engaged March and are planning a pay wedding for next year so 14 months. We started gathering ideas almost immediately

I would kill for your timeline. Got engaged 2 months ago yesterday and have just over 6 months until our date (had to make it shorter than I would have liked due to circumstances beyond our control) I so wish I could have just chilled out and soaked up our engagement for even a week! It has been non stop. Pick your venue and date and then take some time off, in my opinion. I would LOOOOVE to do that!!

If you are planning a wedding for peak wedding season, you need to plan now and get your venue booked.

We planned our whole wedding in under 4 months, but we were married in a slow month for our area which is why all of our amazing vendors were still available 4 months out

Immediately. We got engaged on New Years 2017 and we booked our venue before the third week of January. We have 6 months left!

Side note, we've been together for 5 years. So we are ready
