Hey guys! I have my wedding date set for 09/09/2023! We are so excited. I am in the early stages of planning. going to look at our venue and researching catering etc. Is it too early to start planning? I know our cupcake place is already booked most of 2022 so I know I want to book them as soon as possible. I dont like waiting until the last minute and trying to avoid as much stress as possible.

    I'm the first of September and have already gotten my venue. For something big like that the earlier the better since there's a better chance of them having the date and locking in the 2021 or 2022 price.

    For me, planning and having an idea (even though a lot of it changed) helped ease the stress a TON! We had everything mapped out very early on and we are able to enjoy our engagement. I would say planning and getting your ideas out early is recommended.

    I’m getting married the same day! We already have our venue and photographer booked. Most vendors are already starting to fill up for 2023 so it’s definitely not too early to start planning.

    It is never too early to start planning. We are getting married September 18, 2023 and we are already getting everything together that we can. We already have bridesmaids dresses, (we got a size or two larger so we can tailor them and make them smaller if we need to) my fiance's outfit, my veil, my dress, our wedding invites, our cake, some decorations and a plan for almost everything else.

    If you can start now and get things that you can, then you don't have to worry about spending a whole bunch of money at once. Spread it out and make it a little bit more of a relaxing time rather than stress. That's what my mom has said. Enjoy your engagement, don't do it fast so you don't stress.

    I'm 9/1/23. I booked our venue at the end of November 2021. Big things like venues and catering I do recommend the earlier the better especially if you know exactly what you want to go for.

    Take it from me, a wedding planner who is now a Bride - it is never too early! Trust me, if you want to secure all of your favorite vendors I would say 18-24 months is the prime time to book in advance! You will feel so much better, and have time to budget/rethink other options if certain vendors are already booked out. It's better to be prepared than to be scrambling!

    I would start booking! Start researching and reaching out to major vendors as a lot of weddings have been and are continuing to be pushed off

    Hello guys. I am getting married 9/21/23 and I am very excited. I have already booked my venue and also blocked off my hotel. I am now in the process of finding a photographer and videographer, which I kind of have an idea of who I will hire for my big day. And by the way I am decorating my own wedding.

    Hello! 9/3/23 bride here! Definitely start now especially for the venue. Every weekend was taken in September back in January. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully you find the venue of your dreams!
