Question

My weddings not til 2010, is it too soon to start planning?

Answer 1

Not at all. You'll find as you start planning the details there is sooo much to plan!

I would just recommend before you actually book and put deposit's on venues, make sure its what your going to want 2 years from now!

Make sure you check every location and every venue. I would recommend waiting on the dress though, your style might change in 2 years! =)

Answer 2

please answer...

Answer 3

I would say book the venue and the photographer. But anything else would be too soon. Unless you want to buy some small things that you will decorate with. The great thing about not having your wedding for two years from now is that you have enough time to space all your money spending out.

Congratulations.

Answer 4

Not at all.  Book the big stuff (venues, flowers, photographer, all of that) especially if you are getting married at a popular time.  Then you will have lots of time to work out the details.

Answer 5

My wedding isnt until 2010 either and Im starting to get a binder of ideas together and making the guest list

Answer 6

Well, it depends on where you live. Ask around first and find out how soon/early other brides are reserving venues and photographers. If they are booking two years ahead of time, then you should too! If not, I would not make any definte plans yet because a lot can happen between now and then but starting thinking about a budget, start saving some money and getting general ideas. Styles and things can change a lot so don't get to set on one dress. It could be discontinued and businesses could go out of business. Obviously when in 2010 your wedding will be also determines how soon you need to start planning, Jan 2010 needs to start sooner than May or December. But thigns can happen, you or him might have job trouble and have to push back the wedding date so be prepared for that. I was orginally going to get married last June but trouble finding a job caused my wedding to get pushed back to July 2009 so thats something to be aware of. So, right now just start thinking about what you want and make some general plans. The Knot has a pretty good time line. Trying following that. Good luck.

Answer 7

It would be good to start planning now, and book the venue. However, make sure you will be in the same place. My husband and I have moved twice in the past couple of years, and are now living over 3 1/2 hours from the original place where we were going to have our wedding.

We almost booked a place last year, but we ended up buying a home 1 1/2 hours away from there. Then we had to change the date by several months because the new location near our home was already booked for our wedding weekend.

If you do book now, the worse that can happen is you'll lose the deposit. So it probably wouldn't be too bad.

Have fun planning!!

Answer 8

Reserve the church, reception location, photographer and DJ or band now. Wait a year and do the rest. Keep in mind that you don't get deposits back. If you wind up not getting married (2 years in a long time!) you won't get them back.

Answer 9

Ummm  I would say your mind will change many times between now and 2010. I would wait til about 11 months before the day of the wedding and start. Congrats and Good Luck !!

Answer 10

I'm getting married Sep 2009 and I've already booked the venue. My mom and I have plans already in progress and by Oct of this year we'll have almost everything finished except the little stuff.

I say look into places and get prices/time lines. Get your guest list started but don't book anything until about 12-15 months before the wedding. Things will change.

Answer 11

No way! you will be surprised at how much stuff you have to do before the wedding!

Good luck!

Answer 12

If you start now, there will be less to worry about when it starts getting closer and closer to the big day. This way, you can pace yourself and not be overwhelmed by all the planning. Right now, you should start putting together a binder with magazine pages of the gowns you like, pics of centerpieces, and find some time to go to a Lowe's or Home Depot, or someplace with paint colors, and pick out swatches of the colors you would like. You should also be thinking about who you might want in your wedding party.

Congratulations, and good luck, but, all the time you have, you probably won't need it!

Answer 13

you can start planning whenever you would like...is it the beginning of 2010 or closer to the end?

my only concern is that trends and styles change, and while you may love something right now (dress, colors, centerpieces, flowers, etc) in a year there might be something you like better.  so be careful so that you don't regret any decisions.

i would recommend starting a wedding binder - start collecting everything you can on etiquette, timelines, wedding party duties and also collect pictures of your favorite dresses, cakes, flowers, tuxes, favors, centerpieces etc.  then a year out from your wedding date, you could start the actual decision-making process for everything.

you could start booking vendors though, if you know the date - book the church, reception hall, bakery for cake, caterer, DJ, etc.  that way you are guaranteed that they will have your date reserved, and you can start worrying about details a little closer to the big day.

good luck, and enjoy the planning process - it's the best!

Answer 14

heck no girl.  you have time to find the perfect accessories!  have fun and good luck

Answer 15

Don't do anything til a year before the wedding. Too many things can change between now and then.

Aw, why the wait? Just do it sooner!

Answer 16

I dont know when my wedding is going to be or who my partner is yet but i already started to plan out my wedding so it is never too early to start planning. I guess you can get your guestlist organized so that you wont forget anyone and also can choose who's going to be apart of the wedding and let them know ahead of time. But be alert because before you know it, your wedding is going to be weeks away and you will be rushing to do everything if you are not properly prepared.

I wish you all the best.

Answer 17

You can probably go ahead and book the church/hall and reception venue. You may not be able to get on the books for a photographer, caterer, or salon yet - it depends on how far in advance they take reservations. You may also want to wait to look at dresses, in case you gain or lose weight - you don't want to have to make too many alterations.

And you could definitely start planning your honeymoon - plane tickets are way cheaper when you get them in advance!

Answer 18

It's never too soon. . You'll probably be able to score some good deals, too.  

Good luck and have fun planning.

Answer 19

ideas for the wedding, yes...but to book venues now, no.  congratulations:).

Answer 20

Book all the big stuff, like venue,photographer. However hold on everything else. Your weddings not for another 3 years and fads and fashion will change. What's in for weddings today, will probably be lamo in a couple of years.
