Congratulations, You’re Engaged! Now What?
Getting engaged is huge and planning a wedding can definitely be overwhelming. Instead of thinking about everything that needs to be done and stressing out, sit down, take a deep breath and read this blog post.
Here are some of the first things you need to think about and do after becoming engaged.
- Making lists is one of the best ways to stay organized. Create a list for all your wedding needs – a to do list, a list of wedding ideas that you love, a list of wedding themes, a guest list, etc. You should also invest in a wedding calendar that you can use specifically for wedding related events and appointments.
- People are going to ask you what the date of your wedding is. You can’t prevent them from asking, but you can be prepared. Sit down with your fiance and decide on a rough date. It doesn’t have to be the exact date of your wedding, but choose a month and a round about date.
- Set a budget and begin putting money aside, so you can cover the costs of all your wedding needs.
- Ask both your and your fiance’s parents
- for a list of people that should be included on the guest list. Then, sit down together and make your own guest list of friends, co workers, family members, etc. Right now, don’t worry about the number of people on the list, as this isn’t the final guest list.
- Consider who you’d like in your wedding party. Make a list and if you have some definite picks, ask!
- Search for and make a list of prospective venues, caterers, and other vendors.
