First things to do: figure out how many people you want to invite and set a budget. Then figure out a general date that you would like to have it and start researching venues. Once you book a venue, your date will be set, and you can start looking into other stuff.
www.Ourweddingday.com will send you weekly email reminders of what you should be working on and what tasks you should be working on in the near future. I found it useful to keep myself on track.
hi minachoe! congrats! first off, I would probably stop watching that show! at least for a little bit, until you feel less overwhelmed. I know when I started planning, I felt swamped with ideas and expectations from other people and other weddings. Secondly, spend some time thinking about what is really important to you and your fiance. Set a budget! Think about a guest list, decide what things you want to splurge on and what things are less important that you can save on, don't worry about the little details until you have a bigger picture in mind! Oh! and don't worry - everyone feels overwhelmed, but it's going to be amazing, and at the end of it all you'll be married to the one you love most! All the best!
Congrats minachoe! I myself just started this whole wonderful planning thing and had to go to the doctor with panic attacks a month after my engagement (that has past). I agree with almostmrslucas , stop watching the wedding shows , just for. I started by giving my FI the task of making up his "guest list" just to get a general idea of realistic numbers. once you have that you can move on the venue , etc. DO figure out what is most important to you, but DON'T set everything beyond your reach.I've been at beautiful weddings under any budget. and remember the Bees are always here to help you!!! Don't stress to much!! it's normal , you are not crazy!!
I think the first things to decide are - When do you want the ceremony and How much money do you have/want to spend. After you know that, you can start thinking about Where (because to book the Where you need to know When and How Much). Then you can start thinking about things basically in the order you need to book them - photographer, caterer, dress, officiant, cake, flowers... the to-do lists on The Knot are actually pretty good as far as laying out all the possible components for you to consider, and giving you some idea of what order to attack them in. Congratulations and good luck! FI and I have been engaged five months and our folks are meeting for the first time on Sunday!

Hi bees-
I recently got engaged about a month ago - and our parents are meeting for the first time at the end of this month. I don't even know where to begin planning. I feel SO overwhelemed right now and sort of just want to go to vegas and get married right now. By FI thinks I am insane watching my big fat fabulous wedding all day everyday!
Any suggestions on HOW and WHERE to begin my planning madness?
