i was engaged 4/19/08 and not getting married until 5/2/10… i started preparation aptly away & i’m so pleased i did!
my sis-in-law did it in about 6 months and she was ripping her hair out by the end - small details got screwed up - she was miserable
you don’t need a full two years but why not use all the time you have?
you’re not going to be able to do some of the things that early but you can book the place (or at least find one) so that you know you have the date you want - and you can lock in this year’s prices in most places…i’m sure they’ll go up by ‘11
you can get your dress with plenty of time too - i’ve heard so many people have their dress get screwed up and it’s fantastic if you have time to fix any problems….
you can spread out the preparation so you don’t have to do a bunch of stuff all at once…
congratz!
next june. it takes about 12 to 9 months but some things need even more time like if u want to get married at a rly bust place they need about 18-24 months to reserve ahead of time GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS!
Usually people start 12 months out. My wife and I really started 15 months out, securing the huge stuff like the church, reception hall, band, and photographer. We wanted to have our pick of vendors and not have to worry about the perfect photographer being booked that same day. The only downside to booking things too early is that person/company may go out of affair and you lose your deposit, but that’s a risk you may have to take.
Congrats and excellent luck!
I started preparation my wedding when I was 8 years ancient. Go ahead and start preparation now. Some places you really have to book in advance. And because you have two years to plot, try to pay for everything as you go along with cash, that way you aren’t starting your lives together in debt. Get a small bit done and paid for each month that way you aren’t rushing at the last small and trying to stick everything on your crdit card.
We had been engaged for 1 year and 3 months before I started preparation 10 months ahead. It turned out really excellent that we started early because 2 months into preparation we had to change everything due to family issues.
A wedding can be plotted in whatever amount of time you have, but the more time, the better. Most people have about a year. The benefit you have, is there is time to compare prices, and maybe even make a deal based on the current rates. A church and place for your reception are the two things you want to do well in advance.
now
You start preparation in June 2010, one year before the wedding.
Many vendors will not work with you if your date is more than one year away.

My fiance and I got engaged in December 2008 and we’re really getting married in August this year. We have everything plotted that we need to, but it was a small rushed. I reckon if you can give yourself at least 12 months, you’ll be in excellent shape. Reception halls and churches always book up first, so jump on those first thing. It’s never too early to call around and price and get some thoughts.
You can start now if you would like. Many people book things like venues 2 years in advance.
I plot on getting engaged in late 2009 and the wedding will be in late April. I reckon 4 months should be enough time. We didn’t plot on having more than 100 guest and we’ve already gotten ballpark figures for the cost.
12 months are plenty. The first tip is — discuss finances before the wedding plans start. Everyone caught up in the choice-making administer needs to know exactly how much money is available for the wedding.
To maximize that budget, you should start saving early for your wedding. Advance preparation and saving will allow you to maintain or even exceed your budget, comfortably. And that will make wedding preparation simpler and more fun.
