I’m a guy so I don’t know these things but How long does it take to plan a wedding and why? She said it could take months and I thought to myself It would only take me a week. What is a realistic time table to plan a wedding ????
It is different with each person you speak with. I am a woman, and I could do it in a couple weeks. Women get so obsessed with these huge weddings that they lose focus of what it is really about. To me it is simple, call the church, rent a small reception hall, call a caterer, get a dress and tux, that’s it. I would have a small wedding, with a few close friends and relatives. I would also have a small reception. Everything would be small and personal. So it would only take me maybe a month at the most.
Planning a wedding on a small budget can be done using a bride share method, where two brides split the cost of decorations, flowers or chair rentals. Consider having a wedding on a non-weekend to cut costs with creative ideas from an event coordinator in this free video on weddings.

We are planning to get officially engaged around Easter time, and after that we will pick a date, but I can’t help stewing over how long I should allow myself to plan the wedding. We are planning a fairly small simple ceremony and just dinner and cocktails after it(no dance). How long do you think I need to plan this type of thing?
I think a lot of it depends on the area where you are getting married. I live in southern Indiana, and I thought it’d be easy to plan my small wedding. But I soon found out, that even nine months before my wedding date, most reception places, dj’s, churches, ect. were already booked, for a year in advance. We are having a very small 20 guest wedding on the riverfront, and a 125 guest reception the weekend after, and it’s taken a very long time to plan even a simple ceremony. The sooner you start, the better off you’ll be.
To conduct a wedding rehearsal, make sure everyone knows each other, get everyone’s attention, play the ceremony music and make sure everyone knows where they are going. Keep everyone organized at a wedding rehearsal with helpful advice from a certified wedding planner in this free video on weddings.
