Setting a budget, compiling the guest list, and selecting a wedding date and reception venue are the top three tasks that need to be addressed once you get engaged.

First things first - outline your wedding budget. Meet and discuss with everyone who is contributing financially to the celebration. If it’s just you and your soon-to-be spouse footing the bill, talk openly about what you want and what you can afford. You can’t move forward with planning your big day until you know how much you have to spend.

The next step is to compile the guest list or at least set a maximum headcount. Not only will the headcount effect your budget, but it is necessary to have an idea of how many attendees you expect when selecting the reception venue.

Now you are ready to select a wedding date and reception venue. Have at least three dates in mind when contacting reception venues as Saturdays fill up fast.

Once you have these tasks completed, you are ready to move on to the fun stuff … finding a dress fit for a princess!
