Planning :)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting things done early. My date is 4/25/2020, a week after yours! We aren’t moving as quickly as you but we have our venue, officiant, my dress, and we are meeting with potential DJs next week. I’m also currently looking around at bridesmaids dresses and trying to figure out what color tuxes I want my FH and his groomsmen in. Soon we will start checking out photographers. We have a wedding planner and she gives us three things to do at a time so we don’t get too stressed. It’s all so much fun!

Sounds like you’re an awesome planner - everyone does things at their own pace and on their own time so don’t listen too much to outside opinions; great that you’ve gotten things paid for, that’s fantastic and seems like the big parts!

I think the earlier the better especially since you are getting married in April! I am getting married in January when not a lot of people get married so I have kind of been slacking since I have been having an easier time finding vendors. It seems like you are pretty well set!

Oh thats awesome babe! I wanted to get married in december or January but December is Christmas and January is my fiances birthday sooooo I picked April!! it really was so hard to pick a date because we have 9 kids and was trying not to have it in a month of their birthdays but that didnt work out good because the months left were not good for me

Wow!!! You are so ahead of everything!!! My is August 2020 and I barely booked my venue.. DW so it includes everything... and that’s all I’ve done lol... working on the website now, engagement pictures scheduled for this month and then save the dates.. I’m not planning on buying my dress anything time because I am currently working out my ass off so I can look a certain way!! Anyways great job!!!! I think you’re on track and better to be early then late and rushing..

There's nothing wrong with getting things done early. It means less stress for you later. You are doing great. I just need to get my rehearsal scheduled and I should be all set. Thank goodness!

Congrats on getting so much stuff done! My wedding is in May of 2020 and we've booked the venue, officiant, dj, photographer, bartender, picked out bridesmaids dresses, shoes, and accessories, and picked out groomsmen attire!

Hi! We are wedding date twins! I hope the sun shines beautifully for us on April 18, 2020! Where is you wedding going to be? Congratulations on getting so many tasks done! When did you start wedding planning?

I have:
1. Hired a full service wedding planner
2. Tour venues
3. Booked a venue
4. Spoken to florist/event design/caterer and am waiting for final proposals.

There is still so so much to do!!!

I think that is awesome that you are so far ahead of schedule! Don't listen to people. The more things that are done far in advance the less you have to stress about in the weeks leading up to the wedding. My date is 10/11/19 and I'm pretty much done planning. My fiance and I are just working out the smaller details. Everyone has their own process to wedding planning. Keep doing things the way you want to!

You're awesome and do what you need to do to get it done and ease your mind. I'm the type that obsesses with things until it's taken care of.

With flower girl the only issue is she may grow a foot and be way bigger then the dress. Then if you get a size or two up she may not grow as much.

Other then that it is good and I mean the flower girl dress is great to. Sorry not meaning to sound negative.

Yes, I think like minded people like us just feel so much better planning ahead!

I’m getting married in October, and definitely started planning more than a year out, I have nearly everything done except my FHs suit! It’s very satisfying and makes me look forward to the day rather then it feeling like an impending deadline. But I think it’s different for everyone, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that!
