When did you actually start wedding planning?

How soon after the proposal did you start wedding planning? Did you dive right in the next day? Did you wait a little while to just enjoy being engaged? Did you it take you awhile to get the ball rolling? When did you start wedding planning? Photo from Precision Planning in Murray, NJ

    We new things we wanted before we even got engaged. Like our colors and who was going to be in it. I got engaged September 15, 2019 and our wedding is going to be September 25, 2021. The day after we got engaged I started planning everything. Some of my family members have already gotten stuff for the wedding and I have signed up for a wedding box each month. It might be too soon for all of this but I was just so excited 😂 😊

    We got engaged August 4th, 2019 and we booked our venue September 1st, 2019/photographer booked First week of October and we are getting married August 27th, 2021. So I booked my Venue and photographer super early. I just like to have things in order way ahead of time because you neverrrrr know.

    We got engaged in March of this year, didn’t really start planning until about June which is when I got my dress. Then I found the venue in August. Now we are in full force wedding planning.

    We started pretty soon after. We have 2 years and have venue and band booked because those were my two must haves. We started working on guest list this week to mke sure our numbers were ok. And we need to look at day of timelines to make sure we have enough time for setup and take down at venue

    I started right away. That way I can get an estimate on how much I would need in order to have my dream wedding come true ❤

    I’ve been planning our wedding since we hit the 1 year mark! Lol I love planning so I’ve come up with ‘different weddings’ for each season. We’re having a long engagement, 4 years, we picked a date 02/24/2024. We start hard planning in about 2 years!

    We started right away. We had talked about it and brainstormed a little before we even got engaged. So it was easy to jump right in. Besides I really didn't want to be one of those couples just engaged forever, I seen it happen to a few friends and associates.

    I dont really remember exactly when I started planning for this wedding because I technically been planning my wedding since I was a kid 😂. But if I had to say I think I started planning weeks later without even telling him.

    I joined at least two weeks after .. considering that our wedding is in two years we have time, but since time flies I’ve started planning more two months in & haven’t gotten anything done 😂 . I did find 4 top dresses that I love but I still have yet to go find a dress & this Sunday I’m going to view my dream venue.

    We started pretty quick. I was planning before I was even engaged! We got engaged at the end of March and booked our venue in May. Booked our photographer already, it’s a friend so it wasn’t like we weren’t going to use him anyways. But our wedding is March 2021. In January I’ll go dress shopping and in March we will start more actively planning and looking for vendors!

    I started about a week after. The next weekend after our engagement there was a bridal show going on so we checked it out and all the vendors told us even though we were looking 2 years out, they were already getting booked!

    We started planning before I got my ring!! We just kind of discussed getting married and browsed for rings..decided we should do it in 2020 and I started looking from there. FH didn't order the ring until I had already told people we had a date and a venue. Haha
