    Congrats and welcome!

    EDIT: Ditto Edie. Before you jump into planning take some time to enjoy your new engagement. When you're ready to start planning, pick a time of year you're interested in and then narrow it down to a month or two. Figure out your budget ($$ you can comfortably save each month x number of months before the wedding + any family contributions offered [ don't ask for money -it's incredibly rude] = your budget). Then sort out your guest list. Once you have those start calling venues you're interested in and make sure they can fit 100% of your guest list. Once you have your ceremony and reception venue(s) booked look for the marjor vendors - photographer, DJ, florist, etc. Your dress should be purchased around 8-12 months before the wedding.

    [QUOTE]Congratulations!  PPs gave great advice.  I would add that you should hold off on asking anyone to be in your wedding party until you have a better feel for how big your wedding will be.  And even though we always think our relationships will never change, the boards are loaded with stories of brides who asked their wedding party too soon and now regret it because of changes in friendships.

    First.  Congratulations!  It's so exciting!

    Second.  Listen to Edie and Achiduck and Lucy.  Give yourself a little bit to let the excitement and the newness wear off, and then start thinking about what you guys want for a wedding.  It may morph and change.  Lucy is so, so, so right about relationships changing.   Like my FI says, weddings make people weird. 

    But congratulations!!!!
