Congratulations to all the fellow engaged couples! Welcome to the engagement club, it's going to be a fun and memorable ride! Your fiance proposed, you said yes, you've told your parents...now what?! So for those that are in the beginning stages of their engagement, here are a few tips to get you started.
1. Choose your wedding date. Maybe not necessarily a specific date, but a time of year/month is good. When you're ready to shop for locations you can give the catering/venue manager your ideal dates.
2. Throw an engagement party. Let the festivities begin! Celebrating is the funnest part of getting engaged/married. Sharing this momentous occasion with the ones you love will create lasting memories of togetherness and joy.
3. Send an announcement. Not many people do this on its own anymore, but many people usually combine this with the Save the Date card or use social networking (Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, etc.) to spread the news.
4. Discuss your budget. Or in my case, lack there of (haha!). This may be difficult, but putting the numbers together will be one of the most important parts of a successful wedding (and successful planning). Ask/discuss your families (if this applies) how much they will be contributing.
5. Hire your Wedding Consultant. It takes a lot of time to plan a wedding, having a planner there to help you will help you feel at ease. Even if it's just for the day-of.
6. Start thinking about your wedding party. Best Man, Maid/Matron of Honor, Groomsmen, Bridesmaids...who are you choosing to play a special role? Make sure it's someone that you can trust, depend on, and knows you best. They'll be helping not only on the wedding day, but maybe even before that.
Overwhelmed yet? :P Don't be, taking it step by step is key. Good luck everyone and happy planning!
