Hey...
I need some advice!! After 5 years together he has finally popped the question!!
I am very excited and would love to start planning!!
The only problem is the date we have set is not until June 2012.
Does this really mean I can't do anything planning wise for another year, as everywhere I have
looked says to only start planning a year in advance?
I have so many ideas and am so excited a year seems like forever!
Thanks x

Hey
I'm pretty much in your situation as we have set the date for 2012, but my advice is get looking round venues and book one! I have been making calls this morning and the lady I spoke to said that all of her dates for 2011 were booked up, so all next available dates are for 2012. We are looking round a few places in the next couple of weeks and will hopefully have something booked very soon!
It's all very exciting
Hope this helps xx

Congrats!!!
I would start looking whenever you wish!!
With the big things like the venue, photographer etc I would expect they are already booking for 2012!!
Im getting married next July, we booked everything you need a person for back earlier this year and the venue last year!
I did get a few suppliers like cars who didnt want book til a year before, but I believe this is because they change their cars and are not sure what they will have! But dont get put off by this as I found local companies are much more friendly and less expensive!
Just enjoy it, we have found because we have booked the big things early enough we can enjoy doing the smaller thing like decorations and stationary!

i think the year guideline is more to say you need at least a year realistically to plan and book things more than you cant start two years in advance ..plus i think alot of the planners you see have some things in completely the wrong place so just do what you want ..im looking at at least 2012/ 2013 for mine but ive already worked out pretty much everything i want and ill just need to book things as and when i have money for them.

Our daughter decided in May 2010 that she would to get married in October 2010! Although lots of torturous phone calls, all is in place apart from honeymoon (which fortunately is theirs to sort out). We haven't thrown money at it in order to get the venue or church just open minds and the fact that they just wanted to be married .
Regardless, we shall be happy when the day is here, we can't imagine planning 2 years in advance, our nerves would never stand it!
Hope you all have lovely days,
onlyme

I would recommend starting the plans sooner rather than later, there are clear indications at the moment that 2011 and 2012 are seeing increases in bookings compared to this year, we certainly are seeing significant increases. Have you consider the services of a wedding planner to relieve the stress levels at the same time, they are not expensive and can save you a fortune as well

hi i'm in a similar position unfortunately though we have to wait for his divorce to go through so we can't set a definate date but we are looking at summer 2012 I've started planning already we haven't settled on a venue yet but we know what we're looking for. i say go with it as i think most girls have had there wedding planned since they were little lol the thing i have a problem with is that when working out how much it's going to cost per head because they don't do prices on venue for 2012 but I'm guessing. starting to think about getting into the wedding business because they make a fortune off of us lol

If you start planning early you can get yourself to some wedding fairs and meet plenty of wedding suppliers. When you meet someone that you like, even if you are not ready to book keep them in a 'yes' file so that you know which ones to go back to.
If you have a venue in mind, the sooner the better!
