in August 2013 Weddings
I just joined The Knot this week and must say..this wedding planning seems quite overwhelming. How far along is everyone in there planning? My Fiance and I just chose the date of August 10th and have narrowed our venues down to three to look at this following week. I just feel like every time I look at a new page/website/magazine I realize another detail that hadn't crossed my mind! Any suggestions on timing when it comes to planning or DIY?

thank you!

    For me the first thing to do was to set the budget.  Thereafter, I booked the venue, photographer, and videographer.   Being in the DMV I find that the most popular venues and vendors book up way in advance.  I know one venue, Newton White, can be booked one year in advance for the popular wedding months. 

    Thereafter, find a good timeline checklist to follow.  The one here on TK is pretty good.  It has a lot of stuff so you may have to weed through the items that are relevant to you. 

    I am not a DIY so I have no clue on the timing for those things. 

    Welcome to TK and this board by the way.  I  recently posted about being a newbie to the August 2013 board myself.

    Hey, I am not 'new new' but fairly new to the knot as well. lol
    Take your time. Don't flip out yet. You have plenty of time. And hey, I am hoping(not sure yet) to get married on the 10th too!
    Umm, I find that writing down all my ideas and junk really helps me out. I ususally use the computer so I don't have a whole lot of papter floating around, although a notebook would work just as well.
    And I have 2 wedding planning books as well. That helps also. As you can tell, I like to see what I have to do, it helps me remember. lol
    I agree, setting the budget was the first thing we did as well. Once you get that done, you can start looking at things in your set budget.
    I don't have any suggestions on DIY, I am buying most of my stuff. I kinda have to, since I am overseas and won't be back until a couple months before the wedding(somthing I would change if I could!).
    Anyways. I usually don't ramble like this, I must be in a talkative mood. lol
    Hope this helps.
