how long does it normally take to plan a wedding ??????????

Question

i want something nice but not to expensive something coming out less then 3,000 i want it simple but nice

Answer 1

simple answer - plan it as long as you want to - from one day up to 3 years

Answer 2

My husband and I did it from start to finish in 6 weeks, including getting a minister, attending pre-marriage counseling sessions with him, food, etc.

However, we had a VERY simple outdoor wedding (so no hall to rent, which can be an issue) and music was simply a harp player for the processional / recessional & recorded music from outside speakers for background / dancing.

On the other hand, the reception lasted from 2:00 in the afternoon until 3:00 the next morning, and included a bonfire celebration after dark!! It was amazing -- everyone still talks about it to this day (18 years later!!).

Hope yours goes as well.

Answer 3

It really depends on the type of function you plan on having. Remember, the average wedding dress can take 8 months to come in so that is something that you should consider. In addition, if you plan on getting married in the spring/summer, those dates usually fill up fast. It also depends on where you are getting married. Good Luck and Best Wishes!

Answer 4

it took me six months. But depends on how big it is and how fancy. I actually started a year b4 So I could decide where I wanted it and what I wanted. The first thing I did was get a dress. But it sounds like you had a wedding like mine. Start your guest list and get all addresses that is usally kind of hard. The start lookin ginto reception halls and dj's or band, then do your church for that date some preachers wont marry couples unless they council them first. your cake can usually be one of the last things to do. But you want to do the dress stuff first cause brides maid dresses are expensive sometimes and they might not the funds so you can give them some time to save. good luck and congratulations

Answer 5

That depends on a LOT of factors... some people plan their wedding all in one weekend, while others plan away for a year or more! You'll just have to see how much you need to do, how much you can spend... and how many people can help you get it all done!
I planned for about 8 months... without a coordinator or a planner... but with several very helpful friends and family members! Mine was pretty simple and inexpensive but with a lot of things done myself (i.e. invitations, programs, flowers).

Answer 6

It all depends on you, what you want, how much time you have to plan. Every wedding takes a different amount of time to plan.

I have friends that planned their wedding in 1 month, maybe even a little less. I know others who planned for a year, other more.

Answer 7

If you not trying to spend more than 3,000 you need to start A.S.A.P. so you can caught all the deals and so you have time to interview lots of people and places so you can get the best deal on everything.

Answer 8

In our case (both second marriages), it took about a week. We went to the JP, called a couple family members for witnesses, got me a nice BLACK dress (hee, can't wear white anymore!), and then went out for brunch. Total cost, somewhere a little less than $1000 including the engagement ring.

(I had him give me my mom's wedding ring. It's a family heirloom)

Answer 9

You could plan the whole thing in one month if you have to. I was engaged for 8 months, and planned the whole wedding in about 4...but I took my time.

Answer 10

It depends on where you live, but usually in a city you would have to book the reception site a year ahead, as well as the church (especially if it's one you have to get pre-marital counselling in).
With a tight budget, you might have to make decorations, etc. by yourself, so you will need time to do those.
