How long did it take you to plan your wedding?

Question

How did it turn out, if you planned it in like 2 months?

Answer 1

We got engaged on July 3rd and got married last week, Nov 19th. It was a beautiful day and I wouldn't have changed a thing. We didn't start planning right away...so the planning was a little less then 4 months. With the internet - you can plan a wedding in less then 4 months if need be. I ordered everything over the internet. The invitations, the labels for the CD's that were the favors...etc. I made my centerpieces but ordered the supplies over the internet. All on my lunch hours.

Answer 2

I planned a wedding for a friend in under 2 months and it turned out fine. One problem is getting reputable vendors on such short notice. It is possible but, if you can give yourself more time you will get better deals and more for your money. Most of the time to get bridesmaid dresses you need at least 3 months BUT in the next few months it gets hard as a lot of dress suppliers shops shut down for 2 weeks near between December and end of January which will cause delays unless you can find something off the rack.
For my own wedding I have taken a year and a half and a slightly higher budget (an extra 1500).I have all my first choices and more than double everything including better menu. Her wedding was on a low season weekday and mine is on New Years Eve (I had to compete with New Years Parties for DJ and caterers so prices were higher)but, I saved on dress and decorations because I could wait for sales

I am still in the midst of planning for my wedding, which is in 19 months. Most women do it between 12-18 months from the date of the wedding, however some do it in a third of the time.

It really just depends on what type of wedding you are going to have, if its going to be big or small, and what you want out of it.

Some go the Vegas route or JP route, which take minimal planning. Some want the whole ta-doo about their wedding and go all out, some even hiring the wedding professional.

A wedding can be planned in two months, provided they find a space to hold it and the reception since some seasons book up quicker than others.

Planning in such a short time can be a bad thing or a good thing depending on the persons involved. Money issues, location, officiant, food, and invitations can throw a big hamper into the whole deal if not attended to immediately.

If you get married in a short time you have to get the guest list out first (after figuring out what type of wedding you will be having) and get the invitations out. Once those are all out of the way, you can dive headfirst into getting the rest of the things you need.

Good luck!

I had been dating my husband for 7 years when we got married, so I wasn't exactly surprised when he popped the question. I had been waiting for the question for a year and a half. I had a wedding planned (in my mind) for each season so I could get married 3 months after whenever he asked. He asked in late summer, we had a winter wedding. I actually spent 5 months planning my wedding because it had to get bumped to January due to the holidays. But I was ready to get married in November.

First things - don't get bent out of shape over silly things. I didn't pick out my flowers. I let my mom do it (she's a florist) I told her generally what I wanted everything to look like. I had pictures of the kind of look I was going for and then just let her go and do that. My husband is a musician so we spent alot of time picking out the music and musicians, but if that's not what's important to you then don't worry over it.
The day is about you making a pledge to love each other. All the other stuff is fluff, and if you can realize that then you can plan a wedding in any timeframe.

Answer 5

Don't go crazy and spent a lot of money and waist all that time now a days people get married more than once so you will get it right. NO NO NO Listen if you love each other take all the time not money to get this day perfect make sure you invite everyone you love have it on a day when 90% of the people you care about can make it. Then and then only will you be happy not because of the wedding but of the life long memories you have made.

We planned our wedding in 4 months. It turned out wonderful. We had a great time. It was more of a party. People still tell me how much fun they had at our wedding and it was over 6 years ago. I have always loved weddings and parties, so planning it was fun for me and not much stress at all. I know I'm a freak!!!

My planned wedding was about 9 months and it was perfect. It was in winter to. You can do a wedding in 2 months and it will be beautiful. Just make sure you have everything set and if the price is to good to be true it probably is.

Answer 9

my future sister in law planned her wedding in about 2 weeks. it was a nice, small ceremony. she bought a prom dress for here dress, and instead of a tux, the groom had a suit. the flowers were very simple; a bunch of roses wrapped with ribbon. they got married in the church that she attneds, which was easier than hunting out a fancier one. the reception was a dinner at a local restaurant. they didn't have dancing or the likes becasue other people were there (and there wasn't a place for dancing) but she and her husband are having a more elaborate wedding later in Poland, where he is from. but it is possible to have a nice wedding planned out in a short amount of time.

Answer 10

We were engaged for 6 months and it only took us 2 months to actually plan and our wedding was wonderful. We decided to get married on a Thurs. so it made it much easier for us because the location and vendors we wanted we available with out having to plan a year in advance.
