Planning with wedding 2 years away

Set a budget and start saving money.

Hi Katie, congrats on your engagement! Honestly, you are pretty early, yes, but given that you are aiming for a June wedding, I'd say you can definitely start working on that. Venues book up super fast. As for the dress, I am trying to wait for 9 months out to order (that's the last time to do so) but allows me to work on losing some weight before I order. 2 years is a lot of time to lose or gain weight, as well as have styles change!

I will be engaged for 22 months when all said and done and I booked everything pretty early on and got 2016 prices for things. I would figure out your budget and guest list and see how much you can afford and go from there. I think you can get engagement pictures done whenever you want to, if you wanna do them this summer go for it.

We have set a budget and guest list already as well as started to save I did see someone had mentioned getting cheaper prices for booking in advance. I am afraid that because we chose a popular time of year I book things slightly faster than most couples.

I got engaged just a couple weeks ago on 5/5/17. We are planning to get married in March or April 2019. We visited a bunch of venues last Saturday and will be most likely booking in June. The venues guaranteed 2017 pricing if we book early so that's a plus! I also wanted to plan ASAP since I just graduated college and have a couple weeks until I start my new job. We came up with a budget by researching vendors and figuring out what everything costs. Once the venue is booked I will probably back off for awhile. We may do engagement photos this fall.
