    What have you got done, and what do you still need or want to do? Priority list is going to be key!

    I planned my DIY wedding in about 3 months. It was beautiful. Happy to help but need more details. What do you have and what do you need? What's your vision and budget?

    I didn't buy a planner because their timelines are usually for 12 plus months and I thought that would just stress me out. I bought a blank notebook and created my own notebook (googlesheet has also wedding planning templates that you could personalize). I started out with writing lists what needed to be done - I checked different lists I found online to make sure I don't forget anything.

    First thing you need is a venue and a date. I sent out electronic save the dates immediately and then ordered invitations. I was also very stressed about being able to find a dress in that time - so the first thing I did was actually buying my dress.
    Happy to give more advise how to plan in 90 days and DIY tips but what do you want to know??

    One trick I saw someone post was to write a notecard for each area of your venue and then to write down on that card a list of what items you will need to have there (ie, Entryway: table, tablecloth, guestbook (DIY), vase (DIY), flowers (DIY)). This was so they could first see what was needed and then second decide which items to DIY. Then they checked off each item when it was purchased or they completed making it. The notecards were taped to a board or the wall so you could see them all at once.
