I honestly want to get married this year, but have not set a date because the money situation is not so good right now.
I think, especially from seeing a lot of people on this board, that we all assume that a wedding will take at least a year to plan (although I know some do it in less). However, people can plan a wedding in 5 months, definitely. It really all depends are simple/extravagant your wedding will be and what your help looks like (doing it all by yourself vs. coordinators and such).
If my wedding will be this year, it will most def be something that will be planned within 6 months or so...so I'm with ya!
I think you can! Weddings can be planned in a week!
It will be a little bit stressful, and you'll have to make some sacrifices that brides who got engaged 1.5 years won't have to make (i.e. venue and photographer)
my sister is planning her wedding in three months for a march wedding, because her fiance's brother is getting deployed. It's not all perfect, but its actually going smoother that I would have thought!
I think you can totally do it! I got engaged in September, and I'm planning a June wedding. That's only 9 months, and I haven't had too much to do once I booked everything. All of the projects/details are going to come in the last 3 months. So I'd say go for it :)
If your venue is open, you can make quick decisions, your budget allows for it, you can find the dress, and everyone can attend, then go for it! Details can come together in 5 months no problem.
I know more than one person who got married in less than five months, and all of them had beautiful weddings. In a way, I think its nice because you don't have all this time to overthink things.
I know someone who just started planning for a June wedding...You can definitely do it! Good Luck and congrats :)
you can totally do it! my BFF planned hers from out of state in less than 3 months for 120 guests. she had a full service planner, so that certainly helped, but you can do it!
Yeah I'd say you can totally do it! If you can, you might wanna hire someone (a planner) to help you out b/c they can totally keep you orgainzed and on track. Depends on how much time you have to devote to the planning at all that!
Congratulations!
I think it can be done. You just have to have a vision and go with it fast! Good luck!
You will have to buckle down a little bit, but it is totally possible I think! My wedding is at the end of May as well, and I really am just now getting projects started now. The only issue you might run into might be regarding a dress...depending on what kind of dress you are looking for, it might not be enough time to have certain gowns made. But other than that, if your vendors are available, I think it is feasible!
Be decisive and you can do it!!! The meat of wedding planning happens in the last few months anyway! :)
I just started mine 3 wks ago and it's set for May 24 DW which is kinda hard. You for sure need to get your dress NOW...since it takes mths to get some of them in. Than get the venue for the reception and wedding booked asap. I would than get the photographer and florist next. If you need a planner..( i would do a day one if possible ) that should be high up there after dress and venue. It not that bad, it mostly spending the time sorting thru all the people, Good luck !!
It's very possible. One of my friends planned her wedding in 2 months and it turned out great!
Totally doable! One of my good friends planned her wedding in five weeks, while she was studying for the NY bar!! If she can do it, you can too!
I think if you've found a venue with availability you can totally do it. Unless you have your heart set on the most popular DJ/Photographer etc in town, there will still be plenty available. But, I'd probably get a move on on finding your dress. I bought mine two weeks ago for my July 9th wedding and the lady said I was cutting it close to have something ordered in, but maybe that's just Canada.
If you're quick to act I'm sure it won't be that hard, just make a list and stick to it! :o) Congratulations BTW!
Congrats! I think you can totally do it! I'd start searching for a dress ASAP or buy one off the rack (bridal salons can take about 4 months, so by the time you find one, you'd have to rush order it). Everything else can be done pretty quickly and at more flexible points in time. Good luck!
You can do it! Just make sure the venue, photographer, ect that you want are avaliable! I only got engaged 5 or 6 weeks and getting married May 22!
you can! the most difficult parts are finding an available location, but if you'e got that, go with it girl! my FSIL did it in less than 5 months! if you know what you want, find it and get it booked! congrats, soo exciting!
You can totally do it! My boss's wife bought her dress off the rack 2 weeks before their wedding! Just be wary of trying to take on a lot of DIY projects.
My FI and I got engaged in early december, and we're doing a mid-May wedding... and we're more or less just starting to plan now. I was really nervous about all of the planning stuff (and still am sometimes...) but I know we'll pull it off. I've asked lots of people about whether or not it was possible, and everyone says its toally possible, though challenging. I may not have the most glamourous wedding or anything, but it will be us and the meaning will be there. Just focus on the priorities :)
You can do it!... We just booked a venue a couple of weeks ago and our wedding date is in May 2010.
Congrats on your engagement! You can totally do it! Just stick to a schedule and make the things most important to you are available, like guests, venue and photography. Good luck!
you can do it! i got engaged at the end of november and my wedding date is may 1st!
It will be hard, but YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!
May is a good month (that's when I'm getting married)
I think it's very possible, but it's full steam ahead, we're planning ours in 8 months, and I could see why people recommend a year, there's so much. But if you have a venue lined up, the next thing I would do is get a dress pronto! My dress is taking the full 6 months to come in. Good luck!
Of course you can do it! Where are you located? Do you need a planner? Or a virtual wedding planner? I can help!
If you're willing to make some compromises and have a very clear idea of what you want it's totally do-able.
It's totally doable! My friend recently did the same thing and wrote an amazing blog about it. It's the 100 day bride on blogspot.
My sister planned her wedding in about 2 months. It was a small wedding (50 pp) and it was no dinner just snacks and it was held had bed and breakfast.
She was able to find the place because it was the holiday weekend. It was on memorial day weekend.
It is doable. Good luck!
Although we have been engaged for 1.5years we only set a date a month ago! So we are planning our May 22 wedding in 4 months. From my experience (and stress level) I wold recommend 6 months. I know we will have a wonderful day, but I'm worried about getting all the details together or forgetting something b/c I'm so rushed.
i think it is definitely possible, but brace yourself because it will be stressful!! you may also run into the problem of vendors already being booked for that day, but it is a sunday so you definitely have a better chance than if it were to be on a saturday! :) good luck! keep us posted on your decision!!
Weddings can be planned very quickly, people do it all the time! I am an event planner and couples come to me all the time with a short time frame in which to plan their wedding. It is entirely possible if you have the time to make sure all the details are set. Good vendors are out there are still available, the only issue is if you have the patience to go through and weed out the bad ones (don't pick the first cake person because they say their good and you don't want to risk not having a cake). Also make sure that all the important people are available for your date because the truth is without them the wedding wouldn't be a party! Good Luck and Happy Planning! Feel Free to contact me if you have any questions or would like any vendor referrals!
That's my wedding date too! Weddings can come together very quickly, just be sure to ask for help when you need it, set your priorities and go for it! Good luck, date twin!
fist off, congrats on your engagement... i def. think you can pull off a wedding... there are sooo many people that plan weddings in less time than your given. but you have to stay organized and make sure your BM know you mean business
My brother and his wife were engaged between Christmas and New Years and got married on Feb 29th... so that was 2 months to plan and it went very well. It was busy for all of us pitching in to help, but it was easily done.
Of course, this meant when I announced my engagement, my mom wanted to get it all planned in 2 months... i put the brakes on with "we have 7 months, so I want to spread it out a bit..." (I don't deal well with stress). Now I have 2 months left, and everything is done.. so we did it all in 5 months. Whew.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
So I just got engaged this week (yay!) Now we are challenged with picking a wedding date. We may be moving overseas in the fall, so we really want to get married before September. But due to various work/personal commitments, the later summer months don't seem to work for us. We keep coming back to May 23rd. That is only 5 months away! Is that too soon? I called around today and there is a venue that we really like that is available. Can we pull this off, if we are really quick with decisions? Anyone else plan a super quick wedding?
