What should i have planned by now?

Carlie, on December 10, 2019 at 5:17 PM Posted in Planning 3 6
I’m freaking out that I’m forgetting to book something. We’re 200 days away from the wedding (7 months) and so far I have both venues booked, catering, bar, photography, someone to marry us, a DJ, and a caricature artist instead of a photo booth! What am I forgetting?

    Thanks for the question and the comment! I’m also 200 days out and I hadn’t even thought about some of the things on the lists that I could be ordering now!

    I think you’re in a good spot! I’m at 212 days and only have the venue, caterer, baker, officiant, and am just about to have the photographer and DJ booked, but I’ve also only been engaged a month. Florist is a good next step! And dress if you haven’t already decided. Then hotels and honeymoon. I think a lot of the little things that have already been posted can wait a while

    Book hair and makeup ASAP - they get filled up very quickly. My wedding isn’t until Oct. 202 0 and I booked my person in June of this year. She had someone else call about my day right after I booked with her. Good luck!
