Who planned their wedding in 8 months or less?

We planned our wedding in about 8 months. We had a longer engagement, but didn't start planning immediately.

We booked our venue and got my dress about 8 months out. Photographer about 7 months out. Everything else was done in the last 6 months.

It really wasn't hectic or hard at all. Just get the main vendors ASAP and most other things fall into place.

We planned our wedding in 8 months with about 60 people. It was perfect for us and I don't regret it at all!

We planned ours in 9 months! Our engagement was one year, but we didn't start planning til about 9 months out! I just went online, and sometimes to Jo-Ann fabrics or other stores, and bought items based on the budget that I had given myself for monthly wedding purchases, and made sure that I kept everything organized, and I used an app called wedhappy. Everything turned out great, and I was glad that I was finally married and all the craziness and spending was over...LOL!!

I planned our wedding in 7 months =)

I regret some parts of a short engagement. We were together for 7 and a half years before we got engaged. I didn't want to wait too much longer to be married. We both wanted a fall wedding so bam that gave us our date. I mean the nice thing about having a longer engagement is having more time to save for things. The time goes by so quickly that it almost doesn't feel real when you get to the 30 day mark. The last 3 months seriously went by in a blink and suddenly you're getting married in a week. We ended up having 140 people at the wedding. I wish we hired a DOC but it just wasn't in the budget. Just to help with how the day flow went. We also had my DHs Oma in the hospital but that isn't something you can for see. I don't regret the short time line but there are certain things that I wish we could have worked into the budget that just wasn't possible.

We did it in 6 months, 65 guests.

We planned our wedding in 5 months.

I totally DO NOT regret. I think i would have drove myself crazy planning any longer then we did really. We had a very simple wedding, with about 50 people. We did the big planning at the very beginning, and the rest as we had time/money. I did a lot of research/shopping online.

We started coming up with rough ideas in July but didn't start booking anything until we were engaged in September. We will be married in January. Everything pretty much done until we can send out invites. I'm so glad I didn't start a year or two out. I would be so over wedding stuff by now, ha. If you already have money saved, have a good idea of what you want, and you don't live in an area that stuff books up super fast, it really doesn't take that long. Heck I could have done it in less time. Seriously, now I'm just sitting around twiddling my thumbs.

We planned ours in 9, for 200 people. It was crazy but we didn't want a long engagement.

OMG ChristineKyle1115! I've seen you post in the forums but can't remember the deets of your wedding except that it's small. Please share!

I started planning in mid July and get married in 12 days, so just about under 4 months. I don't regret it.

We are doing it in 7 months for about 120 guests! i have had no issues booking vendors or running out of time for anything! absolutely no regrets! i would regret pushing the wedding back even more because i am ready to be married! we would be married sooner but i did not want to have a wedding anywhere near the holidays!

I had actually planned and laid deposits with vendors within 2 months of getting engaged. I was going in to my 2nd semester in my grad studies and DH ....well is a boy and was not really "into" planning a wedding. And I wanted to get the bulk of the planning and foundation done before I started my studies.

I picked out, paid for and lined up all of my vendors then had to wait for school to be over. Our engagement was a year not because we wanted a long engagement, it was because of the day we picked (height of the Perseids meteor shower).

We were engaged for 8 months but planned the wedding in about 5. It was for 60 people, and we figured we could do it in time . Everything turned out fine and the wedding was exactly what we wanted!

It probably helped that our date was in September, so the vendors we wanted were not booked full yet. I imagine if you're getting married in a more popular month, you'd have to start looking earlier.

We're getting married a year to the date of our engagement. I wish we would've chosen a sooner date. There's too much anticipation and the longer we wait more rules and junk gets added. We have all of our vendors booked and I have my dress at home. So now I'll just wait.

We got engaged in July and will be married in February, so a 7-month engagement. We picked an off-season date which means we pretty much have our pick of vendors even with a short planning period. One of the first things we did was hire a planner to eliminate a lot of the initial groundwork and research, and so a lot of the smaller details as our wedding approaches will just be handled. Im glad we chose a short engagement--can't wait for the wedding and to be married!!

7.5 months, 115ish guests. No problem. I liked the short engagement.

Planned ours in 6 months with 85 guests. The day was perfect! I do wish I would've had more time to plan and save money for extra stuff. Really though that is just money I would've spent, that wasn't needed.

Ours is an 8 month engagement and the wedding is an invite list of about 200. If anything I wish it had been less time. I booked the major vendors and had a guest list very quickly after getting engaged, and it's been pretty smooth sailing since then.

Our engagement was only six months long (but we've been together for 11 years!)!

I loved having a shorter engagement for a few reasons:

1. We're married!

2. We didn't have time to change our mind on things, and went with our original plans.

3. Our short engagement meant that our marriage happened before some people on social media even realized that they weren't invited. We kept our guest list very small, and when people posted wedding pics on FB, we got a lot of "Wow, yay, already?" instead of "Hey, when's the wedding and where's my invite?!"

We planned our wedding for 50 guests in 6 months. No regrets! We were engaged for 16 months before we set a date. Then in March decided we wanted a fall wedding. There was no big lull and no time to rethink things which we liked. I can't imagine stretching it out over 2 years!
