HELP! I am feeling a little overwhelmed. When is a good time to send out save the dates, invitations, and book your photographer? I just want to stay afloat and my fiancé and I are planning everything on our own, which is better but seems overwhelming..HELP!

    Do you already have your venue? Save the dates depends on if you are having a DW or local wedding usually 8-12 months out. Invitations 6-8 weeks before the wedding. We booked our photographer a year out because he did our engagement shoot as an audition.

    Save the dates go out 6-8 months before the wedding. They can go out earlier for a destination wedding or if you have a lot of out of town guests. Invitations go out 6-8 weeks before the wedding. I would book a photographer ASAP. It should be one of the first things you book after your venue. We booked ours about 11 months out and most I had contacted were already booked for our date.
