How to Plan a Wedding in 5 Months
The majority of wedding planning books and magazines will swear you need at least a year to plan a wedding. But you can plan a wonderful wedding in 5 months or less. Yes, you'll have to act quickly. And if you've got your heart set on a princess affair complete with horse-drawn carriages and twittering bluebirds, you'll probably have to tone things down a bit. Still, as long as you're organized and keep a realistic outlook, you can have the wedding of your dreams 5 months from the day you said yes.

Instructions

  1. Start setting priorities with your fiance 5 months before the wedding. Discuss your visions for the event: how formal it will be, how many guests you want, the location, the music, the flowers, the food and, of course, the wedding date. Once these issues are settled, start looking for your wedding venue and dress. Ask potential bridesmaids and groomsmen if they will participate.
  2. Book your wedding venue 4 months before the wedding. Your guest list should be final. Send out save-the-date cards (emails are faster) so your guests don't make other plans for that day. Keep scouting for your wedding dress. Start thinking about your ceremony: Who will your officiant be? Will you write your own vows? What rituals would you like to include? What kind of music will there be?
  3. Design and order your wedding invitations 3 months before the wedding. Decide how your event will be catered, and pick a menu (don't forget about the cake). If you are having bridesmaids, choose their dresses, or tell them what you would like them to wear. Confirm your officiant. Pick a photographer/videographer.
  4. Contact your favorite florist 2 months before the wedding. Make sure the flowers you want will be in season and available from your florist. Create a wedding registry, and book the musicians that will be playing during the ceremony and reception (ask for a demo tape, or attend one of their performances). Address and mail your wedding invitations.
  5. Research your state and county's marriage license requirements 1 month before the wedding. Fulfill all the criteria. Follow up with guests who have not responded to your invitation. Create a seating plan for the wedding dinner (if you're having a sit-down dinner). Buy gifts for your bridesmaids and groomsmen. Decide upon and buy wedding favors. Start planning your honeymoon, and make sure your passport/visa is current. Pick up your rings, and go for that final dress fitting.
  6. Relax a week before the wedding: go to the spa, exercise and eat healthy. If you're relaxed, you'll be able to handle those last-minute minor crises that pop up, such as "Who is picking Grandpa up at the airport?" and "Why didn't anyone tell me earlier that Clara's husband was vegan?" Pick up your dress and your marriage license.
