HONEYMOON TAHOE
Monday, May 9th, 2011
I’m planning my own wedding. Any tips or suggestions?
We are planning September 22 , 2007–which only gives me about 5 months to plan. Outdoor wedding in the Lake Tahoe area. Budget of about 12-15K, but we would like to keep it less, so more can go toward our honeymoon.
Get going and get organized! 
If you can attend any bridal shows in the area for ideas and vendors/venues, do so. You might want to print off a “to-do” checklist off of a bridal website, or rip one out of a bridal magazine. Planning weddings on your own is much easier nowadays thanks to magazines and the internet. However, I said “easier” and not easy.
Make sure you lock down your ceremony and reception venues STAT, as well as your caterers and officiants. You may have a tough time if any of your choices are popular, as it is so close to the date. So have back ups for each choice. You will also need to order your dress NOW, as some dresses take months to arrive, let alone fitted.
Get a budget worksheet (or make a spreadsheet on your computer), and make sure you keep all of your wedding ideas in one place. Many brides buy a notebook with “pockets” for pictures and contracts.
Do as much as you can as soon as you can, so you are only left finalizing and confirming details as the wedding nears. You don’t want to be running around 1 week before your wedding.
Most of all, don’t forget to have fun! It’s your wedding!
