as soon as he asks you to marry him. there is so much to be done and you may think you have plenty of time but you need to do as much as you can now and then only have the final things to worry about as you get closer to the date! good luck.
I think that at least 9 months before the wedding to make sure you reserve the hall and get the cake, flowers that you want. It depends on the type and size of the wedding though and when it is taking place.
depends on what kind of wedding you want. I planned mine in one month, but the average is about a year if you want to book places and have fittings for your dress and go all out.
It’s better to give yourself and your wedding party plenty of time to make arrangements. I’ve seen weddings thrown together in about a months time. But that makes for a very stressful month. If you give yourself six months or more then the process can be a more relaxed enjoyable one. Getting the dresses and arrangements put together will be more like a date out with your friends rather than a stressful part of the process in an unrealistic time schedule.
well i got engaged back in august but my wedding isnt till may 09. and i started planing like 2 hours after he purposed! but if i where you id start planing no more that 8 to 6 months away! depending on where you plan to have your wedding you may have to plan at least 1 year! so start thinking about where and when you want your wedding to be.
You should most definately start at least a year ahead, at least with the church if its a church wedding and the reception venue, everything else will also take time and u dont want to be rushing around like a headless chicken. Goodluck with ur wedding !
Once you are engaged is a good time. There really isn’t a set timeline. If you have a specific place in mind to get married it may be best to reserve it as soon as you can, even if you aren’t sure.
You can do a few things also: cake planning, color schemes, decoration making, invitation list, tuxedo style/wedding dress.
There are things that iwll have to wait, but alot can be done early. Helps relieve the stress that wedding planning can bring.
The norm states to give yourself 1 year for planning a wedding, however I know some people that have planned in a month, but if you want a decent wedding, I would give your self about 10 months..thats what I did, and everything is going smoothly and I’m almost done…Can’t wait! Good Luck and Congratulations!
There are many factors to consider. The biggest are location, time of year, and budget. These three play a critical role. Where do you want the wedding and reception? When do you want to get married? And how much do you want to spend. More time is better if you already have a job, otherwise this can become a full time job. It you have the ability and the willingness, you can do it all yourself, my wife and I did and it turned out great. Otherwise, I recommend a planner, either a key family member or a professional to help you. And no matter what, do not be skimpy on the photographer. Those photos and your memories will be all you have when it is over, and good photos are priceless and never fade. Aloha!
Just to chime in, definately a year. Even if you aren’t having a complicated wedding, more time will help SO much. Get busy now, and this is key: Accept all the help that is offered to you from anyone.
As soon as possible. It can take up to two years to plan a wedding which will be less stressful, because everything will be done throughout the two years of preparation.
It depends on how and where you want to get married. We chose this historical place and when we went there to talk to the wedding consultant, all the weekends were already booked for a whole year except for one saturday. We had to put the deposit right away to book that one last saturday.
It really depends on how much free time you have and how organized you are.
I’m a college student and am getting married this summer. He proposed to me in 2006 and we started planning immediately.
No matter how early you start, there are some things that you will have to wait on (catering, some flower shops won’t help unless the wedding is close).
I think its best to start as early as possible, just to allow yourself to finish one part before moving on, rather than trying to take the whole wedding in at once.
From the time we got engaged, until the time we got married was 10 weeks. I FREAKED out! Our ceremony was ok.. but our reception was a nightmare. But on the average… it takes about 6-9 months to plan a medium-large wedding. Good Luck!
The sooner you plan (within reason) , the better. I found that by planning my wedding a year and a half in advance, I had my choice of venues, caterers, officiants, etc. because they were all unbooked. The closer to the date you go, the less you have to choose from! So, after all that, I would say at least one year in advance! Good luck planning…it’s so much fun!
The general guideline is 12 to 18 months, but you may need more or less depending on the size of the wedding.
Some do it in 6 to 9 months, but I would not recommend any less than 6 months for the typical wedding.
There is a lot of planning and a lot of details that will need to be decided on during the planning process, and since most brides have jobs and a life, they cannot devote all their time to the planning.
Just be sure to allow yourself enough time so that you can enjoy the process and the time that you are engaged.
Depends on how big the wedding is, and where it is. But large wedding usually takes about 8 months.
About a year. 6 months at the limit.
like a few months maybe even a year in advance
Minimum 1-2 years
Between 5-7 months ahead of time

the first thing is are you having a church or registry office. I f a church then you need to book the date especially if you want a summer wedding.
Bout a year I would say, but it does depend on where you live, how busy places are - i.e hotels etc etc.
I did all the planning for mine and it took me 18 months in total, but we lived in London at the time so things got booked up quicker.
