Wedding Planning Advice?
December 7, 2009
I got engaged a couple of months ago, the wedding will be in about two years. I know its still early, but I was wondering if you had any advice of things such as:
Guest list templates
Planning guides/time lines
Save the dates
When to buy the dress
etc.
or websites that you found helpful (I am already register at TheKnot.com)
I’d get a subscription or two to a bridal magazine. Doesn’t really matter which, they are all about equal. (Don’t buy off the rack, you’ll pay $12 for a year if you subscribe and $7 off the rack for one).
Then you can read and tear out pages of things that you like. That way when you are ready to sit down with vendors and start planning/booking you can show instead of explain your vision.
And all of the mags have checklists and suggestions and stories for ideas.
Theknot.com is a good site, i’m registered there too but google is a brides best friend. Seriously, think of something you want to see and google it, you’ll get 100 choices to look at. 
As for the guest list, go w/ the knot. Fill in the person, a/b list, thier guest/spouse names, address, e-mailes, etc. Then you give your mom and your MOH of the password so they have all the same info available when they plan your shower. And it’s all exportable into excel if needed. I found the knot to be very helpful with this part of the planning.
As for save the dates, until you book a venue I wouldn’t send them out. But google it for ideas. You can do them thru invitation places, photo places (snapfish.com) or you could do like i did and e-mail out your knot.com website. In the back of most magazines they have cards where you check off for free booklets on the stuf you want. Send in for the invite catalogs, most of them have save the dates.

First set a budget, then figure out how many guests you can invite on that budget. The rest is just details.
