FI and I got engaged this April and are getting married in September 2011. We have done some basic planning, including booking our ceremony and reception sites, officiant and photographer. Beyond that, I have ideas for colors and tons of inspiration for other projects.
I'm beginning to feel like 13 months is a REALLY long time away, and I want to start planning and doing DIY projects now so that they aren't all piling up at the last minute. If you had a long-ish engagement, what projects did you focus on when you were still a year or so out? What kinds of things can/should I be doing when I've got a lot of time to spare, to feel like I'm still planning a wedding?
