You’re engaged! What next?

Finally! You’ve got the man, you’ve got the bling, and you’ve shared the news. Now what?

Your first task should be picking a date suitable for both families – even if it changes later. This gives you a little direction as you start planning one of the most important days of your life.

The next step is deciding the type of wedding you’ll like to have – Will it be a big wedding or an intimate celebration with only a few family and close friends.

Budget is the next big task – You must have a budget if you want to afford your wedding. Decide how much you want to spend on your big day and start a wedding savings account. This is good way to build up cash for the big day, so you don’t have to rely on credit cards later.

Guest List - Put together your guest lists and don’t forget to ask your parents for their guest lists as well.

The next task is to hire a Wedding Planner – No, not a planner person – Get a wedding planning binder and start setting your timeline. You need a timeline to help you get organized so your preparation process will flow smoothly!
