Consider Hiring a Wedding Coordinator

There are a lot of details to address when planning your wedding, and a
short timelinecan make all those specifics feel a little overwhelming. Set
yourselves up for success by hiring a planner or month-of coordinator, who
can help arrange your planning documents, to-do list, and recommend
vendors. Even if you’re taking care of most of the specifics on your own,
knowing there’s a pro you can turn to will ease a lot of pressure and keep
you moving along at a good pace.
Establish Your Wedding Party
You’re not the only one heading down the aisle. If you’re asking friends to
stand by your side at the altar, get them on board early. While bridesmaids’
dresses can be purchased and delivered on a shorter timeline than a
wedding dress, they still take a while, so consider ready-to-wear alternatives
or ask your ‘maids to pick their own dress in a specified color palette.

Send Your Save the Dates

As soon as you have your venue selected, get those save-the-dates sent. You
can opt for digital save the dates (since you’ll have plenty of time for custom
invitations, but not quite enough for custom save the dates) or semi-
custom printed designs from companies with a quicker turnaround time
(think Minted or the Wedding Shop at Shutterfly). Some will even print

How To Plan A Wedding

your guests’ addresses on the envelopes for you, making mailing as easy
as peeling and sticking stamps. For your wedding invitations, get working
on the design early so that you can have them ordered and delivered with
plenty of time to mail. And don’t forget to get your wedding website (and
your registry) set up before those save-the-dates go out.

In 6 Months Or Less
Create Your Wedding Website
It’s key that your wedding website is up and running before you send the
save-the-dates, given that you’ll want to include your site onthe save-the-
dates for your guests to reference. In addition to your love story and cute
photos, make sure to include key information for your wedding guests, like
maps, a dress code, venue details, and registry information.

Party
Now’s the time for your bridal shower and bachelor or bachelorette parties.
You shouldn’t have too much planning to do when it comes to these parties,
but you want to make sure they’re scheduled a month or two before your
wedding so you’re not distracted by last-minute stress.

Order Your Marriage License

That little piece of paper is a major deal. Plan your visit to the county clerk
and get the marriage license.

Do a Hair and Makeup Trial

Your wedding day is not a time for surprises. Schedule a hair and makeup
trial so you can make sure your glam team fully understands your wedding
day vision.

1 Month
Pack Your Bags for the Honeymoon
The excitement is building, and not only your wedding but your
honeymoon are a month away. Take some time during these weeks to
pack your bags so you don’t have to worry about them the night before the
wedding.

Confirm All the Details

Confirm timing and orders with all of your vendors. Make sure to create
a wedding day timeline so all vendors (plus parents and bridal party
members) are on the exact same page.

Finalize Your Seating Chart

By now, all of your wedding RSVPs should have rolled in, so you can
finalize your seating chart and have your escort cardsprinted.

Enjoy the Moment

Your engagement will have literally flown by, and you’ve managed to plan
a wedding in six months (no small feat). This is your last month of being a
fiancé(e) instead of a spouse, and it’s a special time. Savor it and try not to
stress.
