Now What to Do...

We're planning on going with an all-inclusive venue as well which provides everything except a dress, a tux, a photographer and any other decorations I want besides lighting and floral centerpieces. I'm planning what I want to do for alterations with my dress (which I already bought xD) and create a layout for how I want the reception to look like. I'm also working on finessing my guest list and deciding whether I really want to invite my great aunts and uncles or just closer family lol.

Same date!! Yes, totally agree. We booked our venue a couple of months ago but feel like its too early to really do anything else. It's a little frustrating because I'm so excited and can't wait to fully get into the planning but on the plus side we have plenty of time to figure it all out.

Just enjoy being engaged! We got engaged in December of 2017 and our wedding is November of this year so we will be just a month short of a two year engagement so we just spent the first year enjoying each other.

Enjoy the down time Love the idea of a Vegas wedding!

We are getting married October 30th 2020 and my venue is almost the same. The included top self open bar during cocktail and reception, linens, the cake, the food, basic floral centerpieces for guest tables with the option to upgrade, they include candles and set up and all of that stuff. We really don’t have to be back there until a few months before either to finish up our final visits and head counts and all that stuff. We have also booked a photographer and cinematography, we have a florist for extra flowers we need like bouquets and a centerpiece for our sweetheart table, we have a dj who is covering all 5 and half hours. I also have an idea of what I want and the colors I want. I planned on seeing my the end of the year if vista print has another sale. They just had one that was 50%. When I was messing around with it like the save the dates and invitations were like 40$ all together with extras!!! I just have to basically get my dress and all that and figure out hair and make up and what not and a officiant but I have kinda just been still looking a lot on Pinterest and reading stuff on here and what not because sometimes I come up with something better and cheaper and I also like to compare different places for pieces on things like the guestbook and bridal party gifts and wedding favors! I also have just been trying to enjoy being engaged. It does seem now that it’s soooo far away but the fact that you have this going on sooner or later is better. The little things like picking music and seating and handing in your floor plan and making a list for your photographer of must haves and keeping track of everything and DIY projects and getting everything in order won’t be as easy as it seems to some. There’s endless choices and you only get one day with so much time. So with having a lot of the major stuff taken care of, I can focus more when the time comes on like my floor plan and seating and music without rushing because I’m also trying to deal with hiring vendors and all that!!!

View Quoted Comment Ah yes finalizing the guest list!! I love have a venue that is able to provide just about everything! Mine even provides the DJ 😁

View Quoted Comment Yay date twins! Yes I’m much more excited than I thought I would be. We’ve been together for a long time and have been engaged for over two years so it’s a long time coming!! Have fun!!

View Quoted Comment I will certainly try! ❤️ We are both transplants to Vegas but it’s where we live and where we met.

View Quoted Comment You’re very prepared! We were talking about music last night so that’s definitely something we’ll have to do as time gets closer. We are going for older music like Frank Sinatra and Frankie Valli but definitely need to incorporate some of today’s hits (late 2020 hits actually lol). Good luck!

View Quoted Comment ❤️❤️ Great idea ❤️❤️

View Quoted Comment Well I had noticed for the ceremony sheet music and reception introductions that it was gonna be difficult because you have to pick songs for bridesmaids and groomsmen to walk out to if you have them in your wedding and not everyone has the same taste and there so many song you can walk down the aisle to and all that and then the photography and cinematography will be like really focused on so I get make of list of all the photos I absolutely want and need and save ideas of photos ideas I like and stuff. Weddings are expensive and stressful!!! 😂😂😂 so I’m trying to be totally prepared!!!

Yes!! Get in shape. That always takes a whole heap of time And is positive all the way around

Sadly like now i have a gap other then dress fittings monday and then last one aug 12 th that week i have a lot to do bc then its 2 weeks before wedding by then aug 30th 2019 is our date we got so much paid off that ive had alot of time to waste so i spent alot of time on etsy buying my bridesmaids gifts and groomsman gifts as i had the extra money and buying my jewlery for day of and looking on Pinterest for ideas of hair and makeup for day of and shoes etc...still alot to do little things wise ...write down picture poses yoh want and have to have with who so photographer can have it once its done bc theyll need details of what to expect. Start looking and saving pic ideas for your cake etc... and the look you want fot your bridal party ...always things to do and when your not i get on here and see how everyones doing and try to help with my opinions if it helps great if not at least i tried lol

View Quoted Comment That’s the plan! I’m normally a very active person but have been in a slump. This should definitely motivate me!!

View Quoted Comment Thank you for the ideas! I could definitely start a list of pictures! Luckily our wedding party is just a MOH & BM, so their gifts and attire should be relatively easy.
