Planning your wedding from the beginning (Part 2)

Wedding planning from 6-12 months out

During these preliminary months there are at least 8 more
things to try to get accomplished and they are as follows:

  • Interview caterers, florists,
    photographers, videographers, musicians, etc. Be sure to taste food
    options, see the work of florists, photographers and videographers. Listen
    to or watch recordings of musicians or DJs. Ask for references and discuss
    deposit requirements and the cancellation policy. Hire as soon as
    possible.
  • Create a preliminary guest
    list, including addresses. Ask all parents to do the same. Include the
    relationship (friend, uncle). This helps if the list needs to be
    shortened.
  • Begin planning the wedding
    ceremony
    and reception.
  • Write out directions and or a
    map to be included on a separate card with your wedding invitations.
  • Shop for a wedding gown and
    accessories. If at all possible, order your dress at least 6-8 months in
    advance.
  • Choose and order attire and
    accessories for bridesmaids. Keep in mind the time of year and style of
    wedding.
  • Start planning the honeymoon.
    If you are leaving the country, make sure your passport is up to date and
    verify any visa requirements.
  • Register for wedding gifts.
    Develop a system for recording gifts as they arrive and for recording when
    you wrote the thank-you note. Our free guest list spreadsheet was created
    just for that purpose.
