Planning too early?

Since there are multiple vendors to consider, you do you, girl! they can definitely book up early, so if you like getting things done/out of the way now, do so! enjoy!

I’m planning my mine incredibly early too, even my fiancé thinks it’s too early. We just looked through a venue that we love and I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated. I think it’s normal to plan early when you’re excited and anxious about it! I say don’t worry about the snarky people and do your own thing!

Heyyy I’m so glad we are talking about this
We got engaged recently but our wedding isn’t until july 2021 but we didn’t know whether we should start planning now or later

View Quoted Comment I am so happy to see how I am not the only one who is planning her wedding for more than a year and a half away. Whenever I even try to make any comments about the wedding and my mom is around, she acts like she's not even in the room and I'm just speaking to myself. Today I said something to her directly about the wedding and her answer was, "when is the wedding again?" I said August of next year, and she said, "then why are you even talking about this right now? By next month you are going to forget all about until that date comes." I felt like an ice bucket was dumped on me. 😒🥺😓😥

Planning is never too early. I plan weddings for a living. Lock into current year pricing and contracts.

Ugh I'm sorry you're going through that. But please plan plan plan. I was able to lock in rates for a lot of things that will for sure go up before next year.

View Quoted Comment Lauren thank you for your support. And I am going to keep planning whether I have family support or not. Already booked the venue, photographer, and we got our wedding rings 🙂. We are super excited!

My wedding is may 15th 2021 I have my venue food dj cake flowers photographer and even the bridesmaids have there dresses. There's no such thing as to early

No your good. This way your ahead of the game and you won't be stressed of the big day. Go Girl!!

I just wanna say: given all of this COVID-19 chaos I am SOOOO GLADDD that we were "too early" on our planning. Unless there were vendors who WOULDN'T allow me to book (like hotel blocks), all the big stuff and deposits for everything are done and secured. Now pretty much all we have to do is wait until this eventually passes and pray our loved ones are safe. There's more than enough to be stressed about right now without fretting over wedding details or cancelled tastings and appointments. Was I overprepared? No, I say we prepared just the right amount and thank goodness!

I’m a little worried about mine. Our date is 7/25/20 and I still have some planning to do. I feel like I’m needing this last 3 months to finalize. Our venue is almost fully paid. I have an awesome wedding planner who’s reassuring me we’re good, but my guest keep asking is the wedding still on the schedule. It’s a little stressful. I took for granted I could get my cake person during this time before Covid and now I’m scared to try anyone cake lol. Sigh

Good job, on giving yourself TIME! The more time the better. Who wants to be stressed out over deadlines and money?

My wedding isn't until October of 2021 and I've been planning since I got engaged September of 2019. So we are ahead of the game! Our weddings will just be a breeze! No such thing as early planning

Don't let people shame you into being proactive and organized! I'm getting married March 2021 and I'm nearly all planned after just 2 months of being engaged LOL. Just need to book makeup & hair. Do you! It's YOUR day. It's awesome you're excited!!

I heard the same comments. However, I just wanted to be prepared. Also, a lot of brides may be postponing until next year due to COV-19. So, I think it’s a smart move. But people will still tell you it’s too early. Don’t worry about it.

Um they aren’t wedding planning and have no idea what it’s like. I started off at 25 months out and at 19 started looking at venues I had 2 booked already for my date. I’m now 14 months out and have venue, cake, DJ, photo booth, decorator... I was suppose to book my photographer and cater in March but everything got cancelled so now we wait... and most 2020 brides are moving it out to 2021. So once everything clears your better off booking ASAP other wise what you want or cheap will be gone

Hi Liberty!
Congratulations 🍾 Don’t listen to them. Most venues and venders are booked out 12-18 months. And now with this Pandemic MANY weddings are being pushed to next year. I’m one of them. Our scheduled dare was 10/24/2020 but I didn’t want to deal with the stress so we’ve postponed to May 2021. Weddings for March through June 2020 are getting pushed to late in the year IF any possible available dates or to next year 2021. Crab your date and get your plans going . One thing purchase Wedding Insurance. Congratulations again and happy planning FYI Macy’s , Nordstrom’s, Sacs 5th Avenue are hacking AMAZING sales . Best of Luck!

View Quoted Comment Exactly Chelsea! Dates are going quickly.

View Quoted Comment Hi Rebecca well stated! I started planning 18 months out.

View Quoted Comment Well said! Congratulations 🍾 our wedding was 10/24/2020 however due to the Pandemic we’ve rescheduled to May 2021. We’re an older couple (50’s) thus our friends and family are either in the same age range or older with underline health issues. Prevention better than cure! It’s always s good to plan in advance.!
