Wedding in 2 months

Note to others: this is why some folks are not overly helpful to those who can't be bothered to update their avatar. It is usually a sure sign that they are just here to be told what they want to hear, don't value the opinions presented by members of the community, and are more than likely going to post and ghost (and therefore not worth the time it takes to post a reply), or in this case, post, ghost, then come back and call people names when they are not told that trying to plan the full wedding dream day in two months is the best idea ever...

Please don't do a cash bar/ dry wedding/ self catering/ honeyfund/cash request/other rude things.

Your guests are already going to be stressed trying to plan on such short notice, don't give them any other reasons to be stressed over your wedding.

You would need more than luck

I mean I don't think it will work. You need a venue to have a date, regardless of it being a courthouse or ballroom. Someone has to have the availability for you to use the space. Also that not a very high budget for 100 guests before factoring in all other vendors, decorations, rings, attire, tips and taxes, etc...

Yikes ! Ok girl . If your wedding is two months you're basically screwed for a ton of stress. DIY is fantastic but unmmm not for 2 months ! That's nuts! I'm not saying it can't be done- the shortest I've seen is 3 months .

If you waited this long please do yourself a favor and wait longer . I got engaged dec 25 2016 (yay!!!) and the wedding is July 1st- and THAT is stressful! My bridesmaids have to order their dresses , men with their tuxes, buying them all gifts , my bridesmaid super wants to make decor so she's on that alrasdy, etc etc etc. not to mention a dress from off the rack still needs to be altered which takes 2-4 weeks.

Trust me. You'll strsss way too much: push the date back - even if you can do a 6 month plan- that's gonna be WAY better than 2!!! Don't kill yourself cos you dragged your feet this long . It is notttt worth it !!!! Wedding planning should be fun! Stressful, pulling your hair out , wanting to cry cos you don't know what you're doing anymore- but FUN.

Please don't do this

If you do tho, use wedding wire and ask lots of questions . You're gonna need support

Didn't see kailees response? But I also don't think people are being rude. And I usually take things offensively . This truly is an awful idea unless she has a lot of help cos she's gonna be SO stressed .

Also. I read the reply. A venue is the most important part next to budget- no venue. No wedding. Why can't you do 2018? You just noticed the date is important to you now but not when you got engaged an entire year ago ? Something is not adding up here . You're either totally not serious about wanting to marry this man or your rushing for some unknown reason.

Just such a bad idea. 6 months to a year - push it out or you're truly gonna be miserable and trust me - you will have zero shortage of missing out on being bridezilla due to high level of anxiety you'll have trying to pull this off .

Best to send out e-vites like ... yesterday since even ordering invitations takes a week

You are not going to make centerpieces and decorations for 100-200 people, sort out catering, find an officiant, DJ, photographer, HMUA, attire, everything else in two months, even if you get a venue. Do you have a job? Do you need to sleep?

That doesn't mean you can't get married in two months though. Buy a sexy gown off the rack. Take your $10000 and your nearest and dearest (15 people, maybe) to Vegas. Buy an all inclusive package or else get married by Elvis or a Klingon or whatever and then take everyone out on the town for an amazing party.

Yeah, I didn't get that whole "a venue really isn't necessary to have your date set." Most people getting married set their date according to venue availability, not what date is important to them. If SO and I could've done that, then our date would have been the 27th of June instead of June 3. But it was not possible. You absolutely DO need a venue before setting a date, unless you are planning to use your own house. You found a venue, but did you book it? Even if you have your venue, do you have your photographer, your DJ, caterer, and florist? You can't possibly DIY within 2 months, and how could you possibly do your own flowers on top of that?

You are inviting 100 people. By the time they receive their invitations, it'll be 3 weeks until the wedding. Expect about 80% of them to decline, because they were not given enough time to plan, and people make other plans by then. Also, There is a holiday 2 weeks before April 29th.

You think you won't have time to be a bridezilla, but with 2 months to plan a wedding, you will be nothing but a bridezilla.

Unless you're willing to go to the courthouse and take only close friends and family out to a nice dinner afterwards or just elope somewhere, you really should push your wedding back a year. I can tell you the wedding itself will be noticeably very rushed to everyone if you proceed with your current date. Most of us spend a year or so to plan our well thought out weddings, and save up so we can afford what we want.

Oh gosh, not to be rude, but why did you wait a whole year to pick a date?? Like everyone else on here is saying, you can't just pick a date that close without first looking into venues and vendors.... most places are booked a year in advance lol

There are so many things that you need to think about. PPs mentioned invites are now late because of the close date. That's the biggest thing. Yeah, the date is sentimental for you guys. But push it out a year... it'll save you so much stress!

If you insist on keeping the date though, good luck!

For those that have been following my future sister in law fiasco. I swear this was her posting.

OP, all I've got is good luck

There is a lot of stuff that goes into planning a wedding! And it takes a lot longer than 2 months. I would suggest eloping if you really don't want to push back your date.
