Planning too early?

I think you should do what feels right to you! It's a very special moment in your life and its okay to feel all the excitement! My fiancé and I got engaged back in May 2019. Our wedding is not until August 2021 and so far I've already booked my venue, cater (came with the venue), photographer, and florist. It was nice to know that we were able to browse all the vendors that we love and know that our date is still available. No stressed at all and just enjoy the process and the moment. Even with planning a year and a half-ish out, we've been turned down by some vendors already because someone else already booked our date. If planning right now feels right to you, then do you

I got engaged 11.6.18 and getting married 11.6.21 and have been planning from the day he proposed. I have been able to secure all of the vendors and venues I want since no one usually books that far. I have time to pay off all balances overtime without interest. Plus, things usually go up in price at least a little bit every year so planning early has saved me money and ensures that I have time to focus on the details important to me. Also gives me time to see if any friendships turn rocky before the wedding.

Hi! I just got engaged on December 28! And I already booked the hall, church, and DJ LOL. Not even 2 weeks after the engagement. I don't think it's a big deal! I would rather get the most important stuff out of the way and not feel stressed out, and have everything the way I like it. I also almost had trouble finding church/hall matching dates for next year. (our date is 6/12/21). I got snooty comments made to me too... just ignore them and enjoy this next chapter of your life and do everything the way YOU like it... there will always be somebody to put their 2 sense in!!

??? ????????? ???????👍

It’s never too early to plan a wedding !!! I started since I was what 8! Lol! I Always had wedding fever 😂😂

Definitely not too early! My wedding is october 4 2021 and I've booked my venue and photographer and got my dress.

Girl, don’t worry about them! It’s YOUR big day. Plan your day how and whenever you feel like! My fiancé and I have already booked our venue and we’re not getting married until October of 2021. We’ve already been looking into caterers, bartenders, and other venders as well.
I always tell people I’m planning ahead so the few short months leading up to my wedding isn’t so chaotic. There’s nothing wrong with being ahead of the game.

Never too early to plan. I got engaged in October and started planning right away and already some of the vendors I wanted were booked. I told all of my friends who aren't married yet, you need to plan far ahead to get everything you really want! I say plan now and relax later! You're not hurting anyone!

Forget what anyone else says. If they have a problem, then they can do what they want for their wedding. This is your special day and you should do it however you want.

I'm feeling the same way, but I agree with everyone! I don't think we're planning too early - I'd rather book the venues/vendors I WANT and then just have fun DIY-ing and planning the rest at my leisure! My FH doesn't understand lol - he says 16 months (we're planning for June of 2021) is too early, but I keep telling him he doesn't understand how FAST time goes by and how fast vendors/venues book up in our area!

I have started planning my wedding and my date is April 2021... it's not to early if u ask me.. I think it's best so u want be last min with doing everything

I think that’s just part of being engaged. Who doesn’t feel excited to start planning the big day? I Do! 😅 Me and my fiancé just got engaged last Tuesday and we already have the date for next August and also the Venue.


But without more saying, you are doing just fine! Happy for you and all the brides to be!

I started planning last year! Our wedding is in may 2021 as well. It’s a great way to make sure the vendors you want don’t get booked, and an even better way to plan expenses rather than just guessing. This gives you time to save too. It’s not too early. Just save the more time sensitive things like invites, rsvps, alterations, etc for later.

Hi I am getting married September of 2021 and I don't think it's to early to start because if you start early you have time to change things if you need to. Also you have time to order things, pay off stuff early so you don't be stressed out at the last minute

I don't think there's such thing as planning too early. Most venues book up fast so it's better to start looking sooner. Besides then you have plenty of time to figure out how you want the decor to look and can figure out all the little details. You also have more time to spread things out and not pay for everything one after another. That's why I started early so I can pay for things when I have the extra money and not be so stressed about it.

A lot of big vendors (venue, photographer, caterer) often book a year or more in advance, so it definitely doesn't hurt to be ahead of the game when it comes to the most important vendors for your wedding. I'd probably hold off on smaller details like invitations and centerpieces right now, but bigger vendors (venue, caterer, photographer, music) and anything really important to you (flowers, cake) are fine to do this early.

I think that’s a great Idea.

We got engaged in May 2019 and also started wedding planning already ☺️ We're getting married in June 2021. Venue, caterer and music already booked.. It's definitely not too early for me as I tend to overthink my choices and it takes so long for me to decide on anything... Also so many photographers and music bands are already booked for summer 2021..


Any advice on how to make this whole thing less stressful and more enjoyable? Overthinking is deffo not helping!!!
Love,Kamila

This whole post is so comforting to me because my wedding is also in May and my MIL is telling me I’m behind, but my mom is saying I’m planning way to far out 😂😂

My wedding is October 2021 & we have already started planning also! It’s never to early. We have looked at several venues and they all were glad we were starting so early.
