I have never been involved with a wedding. I have no idea where to start. We still have a year until the wedding but i know how fast a year passes. We do have a budget. So I'm hoping to find a web site or book as opposed to hiring a wedding planner.

Hi
(1) Visit http://www.klikks.com/wedding_planning_timeline ......a guide to What to do and When to do what....
(2) "In her "eye opening" book, Stephi Stewart reveals how she beat the wedding industry at it's own game and made her dream wedding come true, saving over $10,000 in the process. Inside she demonstrates step-by-step how any bride can take control of her wedding, avoid industry scams, get insider prices and much more... Definitely a "Must Read" if you're a "bride on a budget!"

Research and research is the key to a realising a dream wedding.

I've been involved in a lot of weddings. Every time I hear a friend is getting married or going to be involved in a wedding, I splurge and buy a book for them. I've listed some of the best I've received comments from in the sources. Hope they help you.
One of the best things you can do to make it all run smooth is to make sure your wedding party knows their roles. You may think every bridesmaid knows she should.... but the truth is they don't know unless you tell them. Preparing your party will ease the planning of everything.
Pick up a book and surf the knot on the web and you'll be just fine! A book will help keep you focused so you're not searching online for every little thing you could have forgot.
Congratulations, Good Luck & ENJOY this. A wedding should be a celebration of your love and fun for everyone attending and participating. If you can remember that, it will be a beautiful wedding!

I have read dozens of wedding planning books. The best I ahve found are by Miss Manners (Judith Marin). Another good one is The Everything Wedding Planning Book (stupid looking cover and stupid title, but great book).
Many of the otheres I have seen have some really bad advice and I found them full of errors reagarding etiquette and so forth.
Some resources at theknot.com and such are OK, but again, I have seen lots of bad advice in their articles (even those written by their "expert" Carly)-- they are totally in the pockets of their advertisers, so they won't advise you properly when it comes to some things. So make sure to check things against a real etiquette authority so you don't unknowingly do something foolish.
There are also a lot of Wedding Planner books out there (th planners with pockets and such) but most are a total waste of money-- you can make your own using a three ring binder.

The local chat boards at theknot.com are a great resource. You can get more info from them than you can any magazine or book.

Checklists and ideas, even a guestbook. This is what I used when I got married.

your imagination is best, copy cats that think they're original are spotted as soon as the invitations are received.
