Engagement Season Part II


Whether you're getting married 2 years after the engagement or 6 months after the engagement, you will need an action plan.  This checklist will guide you step-by-step as to what is to come next.  I can not stress to you enough the importance of booking a planner early in the game; your planner will save you time, money and stress.

However, if you've already gotten a team of people, check off what you have already gotten accomplished and move from there.

Post Engagement Checklist:

  • Create a Budget - This should be the amount provided by all contributors
  • Determine Wedding Date
  • Determine Wedding Party
  • Book Ceremony/ Reception Venues
  • Start Guest List
  • Book a Planner - Planners have insight and relationships with vendors
  • Book Officiant
  • Book Photographer and Videographer
  • Book Band and/or DJ's 
  • Book Florist
  • Determine Bridal Attire (Bride, Bridal Party and Groomsmen)
  • Reserve Hotel Rooms
  • Wedding Registry
  • Wedding Website
  • Determine Stationery (Invitations, Menu Cards, Seating Cards, etc.)
  • Honeymoon
  • Arrange Transportation
  • Rehearsal Dinner
  • Book Wedding Cake Baker
  • Hair/Make-up
  • Wedding Rings

I hope you find this checklist useful.  Again, congratulations on your engagement!
