When should i start planning? Wedding is may 7th 2022

I’m currently planning everything now

Best to start early when you done earlier you get to sit back and wait till it comes.


Best to grab quotes from vendors use this site I found my DJ on here and he was amazing.

Definitely not too early. Covid has made wedding planning a new challenge that many vendors did not for see. I got engaged in November 2020 and we immediately started planning for our May 20th 2022 wedding, we have our venue, photographer, and dj set. A friend of mine got engaged in February 2021 and is trying to plan for a May 2022 wedding but she says that it’s slim pickings, she was not able to get the venue that she wanted unless she wanted to wait another year. Vendors are filling up fast. It’s going to be a busy wedding year!

View Quoted Comment Ours is May 10 of next year. We booked all of it including vendors about two months ago, and we were able to get everything we wanted (dress Included!) don’t want too long or the good venues will be gone due to the overload of covid weddings

So we are changing the dates

No I don't think it's too early.
The earlier you plan the more you can have done and paid for before day.

I would definitely start planning. A lot of vendors are already booked for May of 2022, so I’m glad that I didn’t wait. I just need a cake and florist, everything else is pretty much done.

Mine is in August of next year and I’m working on it now ❤️ It’s nice to elevate the stress as much as possible

I'm sending out my save the dates 6 months before, so like late april 2022 or early may 2022, I'm sending out invites probably mid/late september (6-8 weeks before) and then having my RSVP's due 3 weeks before the wedding so I'm not rushing for my final 2 week guest count

View Quoted Comment That’s a good idea! Thank you!

No problem!!

It's not too early. Venues had been booking up for 2022. My wedding is May 28, 2022 and I've got my venue and photographer booked already.

No it is not too early. My wedding is May 21st 2022 and what I am finding is vendors are being booked quickly now because the push back of the pandemic. I have had 3 vendors tell me my date was already booked for them and I reached out back in March. So as soon as you can reach out to the people you really want they are getting snatched up quickly.

It’s not too early. I already have my venue, photographer, guest list, DJ color scheme, and menu. We are still trying to figure out centerpieces and what specific decor we want but I loved getting ahead in the planning process. I tend to push things off but I knew I didn’t want to with my wedding planning because I want as little stress as possible. Planning a wedding can be so difficult and frustrating and I knew that the longer I had to plan the less frustrating and stressful it would be.

Definitely not too early. I would look now because venues are filling up quick especially with everyone postponing their weddings due to covid

No, now is just the time to start! You want at least a year out. I would start by looking at venues. They'll fill up fast, especially now with the way things are opening up. You can say as much as you want that your date is May 7th, 2022, but you really don't want to find out that every venue you look at has that date already booked. Be sure then to have a pretty long list of venues you want to check out. Start calling around now to see if you can make an appointment to look at prices, menus, availability, etc., and also which ones align best with what you and your FH want. Once you have the venue booked, then focus on the other things. It also isn't a bad idea to start looking at dresses now. There might be some good sales right now. Good luck!

Mine is May 14 2022 and I already got my dress, venue, engagement photos and colors picked out!

My wedding is in August 05,2022. I already have my venue, dj, and photo and bideo

JourDan, I have same thoughts as you have. We all know that if we start early then we can enjoy stress or tension free wedding.

As we begin our financial preparation today, we will be able to protect ourselves from future debt or insecurity. Similarly, early wedding planning allows us to relax and enjoy our big day.
