I'm planning one in 7 months... it can be done!
Do you have a venue? Once I had a venue and a date all the other things fell together.
If you don't have a venue, get a guest list together, and that will help narrow down places. Decide what is important to spend money on, and what isn't.
For example, I'm not doing ANY flowers except bouquets, because it wasn't important to me.
There is a vendor sticky at the top that is a great place to start out... and there is a search feature at the bottom to search the threads that is VERY useful.
Good luck!

I agree with PP. Start with figuring out how many you want to invite since that will help you narrow down your venue options then figure out what's most important to you. For me it was venue, music and food so thats where we spent most our money. The vendor sticky is super helpful also.
Good luck with your planning!!
waggoner - im glad there are other women that don't care much about flowers!! I thought i was alone lol

You need a venue. There are several inexpensive DIY venues in the area. I also know that the Village Country Club in Dallas is fairly affordable. Do you need a place for your ceremony as well?
I planned my wedding with less than six months to go. You can definitely do it.

Like the PP said, the first order of business is your guest list. This will determine what size venue you will need and also how far your money is going to go. You might want to consider a Friday night or afternoon wedding to save costs. I also suggest keeping the guest list as small as possible.

I am planning a wedding for a friend in 6 weeks... so 8 months should be a breeze :)
First, decide on number of guest. Then you will want to have a date/s in mind so that when you start checking with venues you have some options to give them.
Are you needing everything for 5k?
