When to start planning?


Recommended Posts

I originally wanted to do a spring 2009 wedding, but we have decided to push it back to 2010 because we don't want to have to pay for any of our wedding on credit and we want our guests to have ample time to save money to join us and enjoy their vacation, also. I am thinking late April or early May. I know that is a long ways away, but I love looking at everyones weddings and am really excited to start planning my own. My question is, when did you start planning your wedding? How much time does it take to play everything? I know I can't really do much planning now as I can't even book flights or get prices for flights unless they are within 330-some days from today. Once you started your planning, what was your timeline for booking outside vendors such as your photographers. Is that something that I will need to do as soon as I book my wedding to make sure that I have someone?

NOW lol I started about 8 months before my wedding and with only 3 months to go I am DONE! I have small things now organizing the actual wedding but I can't really do that until closer to.

 

The sooner the better! I just wouldn't buy anything just yet or buy when you notice something on sale. You won't know how many people are coming etc.

 

But you can definetly start planning things now wink.gif

We also got engaged May 08, but our wedding isn't until Oct 09. I started looking into booking the location right away and getting pricing for our guests so that we could set the date (although sometimes you can't do this too early if pricing isn't available for your time period). Once that's done you can relax a little. I say book the big things first, as soon as you can, and the little details can wait until later. But I'm constantly looking through things and saving pics for inspiration etc!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
