I have been envisioning my wedding for as long as I can remember. I know what I want but now my friends and family members think we’re rushing because "they think" four months is not enough time to plan a wedding.

On another note: My fiance bought the ring and I told him my family would pay for the wedding. They still are but does it matter who pays for the wedding? Does it look bad if my family pays for the entire wedding? Does my fiance’s family have any say if my family pays for the entire wedding?

Timeframe really only matters when it comes to booking your vendors. I went to a wedding last night that they organized in 3 weeks, but the vendors were all available on a Thursday, so it worked out fine. Call your ceremony and reception venues first (and your caterer if it’s not included), then your DJ and bakery, with a list of your preferred dates and what’s still available. 4 months from now is what? October/November? You stand a pretty good chance by being away from the main "wedding season". But get moving on your dress, like, now – that can take a while, especially when you factor in any alterations.

If your fiance’s family WANTS to pay, you should definitely let them have some input (whether you choose to accept their money or not). But if not, you should still get their guest list and keep them up-to-date with how things are going. Traditionally, the bride’s family paid for the whole wedding anyway, so that’s not all that strange – these days, though, many couples pay for it themselves or sometimes both sides of the family chip in. Just be sure you talk to your parents about the budget before you even start shopping around – if you’re only giving them 4 months notice, you may have less to work with than if you waited until next year.

Congrats!

Hey everyone. I’m Izabella Wentz, a newly wed for nuptials tv. Here to share my wedding story . I am going to share how I planned for my wedding.

The first thing I had to plan was our engagement party. I have never really planned anything before, so it was very stressful for me. I would recommend planning an engagement party for anyone who will be planning a wedding, as “practice”.

We knew what date we wanted our wedding and we knew we wanted to have a destination wedding. We wanted our dear friends and family to come on vacation with us. We both think that everyone needs to go on vacation more often. After all, had we not gone on vacation to Cancun, we would have never met!

We chose Jamaica as our destination and we booked a resort. Our days were mostly spent meeting with a wedding coordinator who told us about the various options and locations for the ceremony, as well as the services offered by the hotel. They were able to provide the food, the cake, the flowers, salon services and just about everything on site.

We had set up meetings with the florist, baker, various DJ’s and photographers as well as food tastings. It was a lot of work, but we did get to squeeze in some beach time and decided to “test out” the spa services and got relaxing massages.

I’m Izabella Wentz congratulations to the grooms and best wishes to all you future brides.

I am not planning on getting married for at least 2 years yet. But I think I should probably start planning so I make sure I am able to have enough time to get everything I want/need. Would it be a good idea to hire a wedding planner? What do they do for the most part? Do they listen to what you want or just do their own thing?

My fiance & I got engaged on Sept. 5th 2007 & started planning our wedding a few weeks later. So we were a year and 8 months out. We did everything ourselves.. and trust me you will have time to do it. We started by interviewing and meeting with vendors.. and this way you are not rushed and can take your time. Once you have your vendors down.. and the sites you are pretty much set for awhile. And usually the place where you are having the wedding/reception will have a wedding coordinator and that person will help with things. They will get everything going on that day so you don’t have to worry about much. I know at our reception site the wedding coordinator helps with decorations and everything. These people make needing a wedding planner obsolete.

Not to mention the fact you can go to www.theknot.com and click on local resources.. pick your region.. and it lists just about everything you will need! That’s where we found many of our vendors.

Also, your wedding/reception site should have a list of preferred vendors as well.

But I really don’t think you need a wedding planner. It’s cheaper to do it on your own and you can do it the way you want. 🙂 good luck! And good for you for being an early planner.. it makes things A LOT easier & usually they will give you the current year’s pricing since you are booking early.
