Now what?


Recommended Posts

According to my ticker I have about 9 months until the big day.

 

I have the dress. I did make a website with what little info we do currently have, but now I am at a loss. blink.gif

 

We put the deposit on our trip and reserved the big day at Sandals, but now what?!

 

When is a good time to send invitations? When is too early? What should I be doing?

 

So confused...

It sounds like you`re well organized. Once you have your vendors booked you can kind of sit back and relax for a bit. If you`re looking for things to do you could always work on FI`s attire, your rings, begin gathering things for your OOT bags if you`re doing them, your wedding shoes, veil, jewelry...

most of the other stuff you can wait though. Typically wedding invitations don`t go out until about 3 months before for a DW, although some people send them out earlier.

 

Have you sent STD`s?

 

You have lots of time, but I think getting those chores done early is always nice. It is nice to have things organized long before you *need* them to be. If your FI wants a light colored suit it's a good time to shop now because it's harder to find those colors later in the winter/spring.

Have you sent out an STD? I don't think 9 months is too early to get started on Invites, I would send out a save the date now and start working on what kind of invite you want to have and send it out around the 4-6 month mark.

Take a look around some of the girls have started threads that say, "9 months out what do you still have left to do"

 

ps. I moved your thread, the newbie section is only for your intial intro but this thread will get better responses in this section.

Thanks for the ideas everyone. We are not doing bridesmaids dresses since there are only two attending and with the expense of the trip, I decided not to inflict dresses on them as well.

 

Colors... well the wedding dress has "pool" the David's Bridal color in it so I figured I'd go with that and maybe an orange that would really pop and stand out.

 

Hmmm... STD's.... I guess I'll start there. Thanks so much everyone!

How exciting that you only have 9 months to go!

 

I had a blast sending STD's out just a week ago. And now that I put a deposit down for the resort I am eager to move on to the "fun details" of the wedding such as colors, flowers, dress, etc.

 

I am sure you can pass your free time exploring these boards and become inspired in many ways. Enjoy your planning!
