Everything In Moderation

I have come to learn that when most brides get engaged (mind you - this is just my own observation!), they want to jump out of the gate and ramp up the wedding planning process. Actually - depending on where you live & what time of year you want to be wed, securing your venues is in your best interest because the "popular" places book very quickly. But what about the rest of the things you'll need to pull off your celebration? My advice - start small and work towards big.

Line items such as attire, invites and favors....believe it or not - can wait a minute. Since the designers of bridal attire have two seasons, you can take a breath and look around to see what you like - and order your dress about 6 months out. Invitations and favors kinda work the same way - you need to really ascertain who's coming and define the guest list BEFORE you even look at anything paper related. Ditto on favors.......

Planning a wedding is amazing - and stressfully tedious at times, but if you remember to keep everything in perspective and not try to do it all in the beginning...you'd be surprised at how much simpler the process will be.........
