First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! Second take a very deep breath!
You have the date I assume? Do you know where you want the wedding to be? Did you set a budget? (Most Important thing to do!)

Once you do that, it becomes your guiding force in the rest of the decisions you need to make. The reception could be about 50-53% of your total budget.

If you read my article about “a wedding to remember”, you’ll recall that I did a wedding with only 2 weeks notice.

You will need to decide what are THE most important factors to you. What can you compromise on? What can not be changed?

Do you have anyone to help you with the plans?

If you are having a full service catered affair, they should take care of all the minutia of details, ie: place settings, linens, etc. If they are providing the food only, you’ll have a lot more work to do. If this is the case, get some help to do all the running around.

Go through my blog and start making lists of the things that need to be done. If it is too overwhelming, hire a wedding planner. (suggest this as something you would like as a wedding gift) I don’t know where you live, otherwise I’d be happy to sit with you in person and help!

Let me know if I can be of any other help.

Kol Tuv,
Miryam
