Who planned their wedding in 8 months or less?

We did, for just under 200 guests. No regrets. In fact, we preferred it that way. We didn't have a lot of time to secondd-guess our details and honestly, because we were older, we simply didn't care about many of the details that other couples care about (card boxes, guest books, cake toppers, etc)

We were engaged March 1st, but didn't start planning until April 1st once we knew where FH was going for his residency. That put us at just shy of 9 months. We invited over 200 guests. Still waiting on final numbers, but I'm thinking around 170-180 maybe.

It was actually pretty easy for us. I had money saved already to pay for most of the wedding. We chose a weekday during Christmas season so we had no trouble getting vendors (and actually got some deals). We sent STD as soon as we had everything booked. I think we had them out by early May if not late April. The rest has been pretty simple. A lot of the details don't need to be planned until much closer to your date anyway.

We opted for a short engagement for two reasons. First, we have already been together for almost 10 years. Second, as he moved to the US I am not able to follow (at least not easily - visa stuff) until we are married. He is a medical resident so we didn't have much say on his holidays so we decided to get married during the first one they gave us, which happened to be the week after Christmas.

I don't regret it, if anything I kind of wish we had rushed and had gotten married before he left in June, but I know I wouldn't have been able to plan the wedding I wanted that quickly.

I planned my first wedding in 7 months. And I did it while working full-time, going to law school 3/4 time, and serving on law review. If anything, I think the shorter period helps you to focus on what's important about the wedding, instead of starting to feel like you have to have every detail you see on Pinterest.

For my second wedding, I had a 14-month engagement. However, after picking the date, officiant, and venues, we didn't do much more planning until about 7 months before the wedding.

I planned my best friend's wedding from beginning to end in two weeks - 112 people!!

Started planning mid-August, wedding is in May, and I'm already starting to feel like I'm running out of things to plan!

6 months..150 invited, 100 at least out of state. I was originally freaking out but it's really not that bad.

We didn't want to get married during tourist season, so we rushed a bit to have it in Oct.

Got engaged in March, got married in Oct., in front of 125 guests. But, life was simpler in 1987 -- no WW, no Pinterest -- just the Yellow Pages and referrals.

Just over 8 months (by a few days) and I don't regret it at all.

We didn't HAVE TO rush, but I wanted to put FH on my insurance as soon as possible, so we tried to plan around open enrollment.

I feel like I could have done it in 6 months, really....having more time, we procrastinated on a few things, but everything is coming together fine.

Ours is SUPER low key, and our venue was available early, I know sometimes people will wait for the venue they want to become available.

ETA: we're having 80 people (at last count...if they all show up...), so smallish, and laid back.

6 months almost on the nose. We got engaged 5/31/15 and are getting married 11/28/15. ~45 guests. I'm a happy camper. Could have had it done sooner, but we needed some time to pay for all the niceties.

Edit: No regrets, we know what we want and are making it happen. I see no point in waiting if we are completely secure in the decision. Plus, we get to start the new year as husband and wife :-)

We're doing it in 6 months, with around 90 guests. Half way through, and absolutely no regrets! (I even wish we were getting married sooner.) It's not nearly as daunting as it seems before you start!

We've been dating for 5 years so we had a short engagement.

Got engaged in February and just got married earlier this month so 8 months total.

We invited 200 people and 130 attended. It can definitely be done

8 months, invited 209 guests. It was easy.

We got engaged in April and married in September. We already knew what sort of wedding we wanted and where we wanted to do it so that narrowed down the venue search quite a bit. WE went and looked at 4 beach houses and then reserved our favorite (it happened to be available for our weekend) and then everything else just fell into place. We had about 50 guests. May of our vendors are my friends so that helped.

We got engaged in August and the wedding is in April, so right around 8 months. We'll have 50 guests and I don't feel rushed. Choosing the venue, honeymoon location and my dress were the hardest parts to me, everything else is just falling in to place now. I still am on the hunt for the baker and someone to do decor, but all the other big vendors are booked.

Our engagement was 3 months long. I'm SO glad we kept it short. My husband's job at the time got crazy busy from the end of October through Christmas. We didn't want to get married during the winter because it is so rainy in Oregon. Spring seemed so far away, so we said screw it. We invited 50 guests, skipped the bridal party and were fortunate enough to find great vendors. Everything came together beautifully. Having a short engagement definitely helped to keep us in budget. We simply didn't spend money that we didn't have. I spent a lot of years working in the bridal industry, so it came pretty naturally to me and wasn't overly stressful. I had a ton of fun doing all of the DIYs.

I regret my long engagement.. I wish I would've done it ASAP! I am second guessing all of my original decisions.

6 month engagement. 200+ guests were there. Don't regret it at all. While the time was short, I couldn't imagine waiting so long to get to the big day! Totally understand why some brides do, but I don't regret our short engagement. We had already been together for 6 years by that point.

We got engaged June 1st and are getting married January 9th, so 7 months with about 175 guests. I work at a wedding venue, so I already knew all the vendors I wanted to hire through working with them in the past. I had all vendors booked and deposits down within 2 weeks and my dress first thing. The hardest part has been the church. It's a Catholic wedding, so there are just a lot of requirements and I have an insane work schedule being a venue coordinator. But I would hate a longer engagement. I find the longer the engagement the more things get out of control with the spending. You just keep seeing things you want for decor. Short engagements force you to make decisions and move one rather than second guessing or changing your mind. For example, I tried on 2 dresses and picked #2. After that I moved on and stopped looking. So many people have too much time and would second guess that decision.

We were about 10 months and are having 135 people. I'm not sure how much age has to do with it either.... We're in our 30's, and we want to start a family asap. We care more about that than a wedding, I think. We're pumped for the wedding, don't get me wrong, but 10 months was more than enough time to plan it. And we moved to a new state and both changed jobs in that time too (this part was not ideal...but it worked).
