12 months long enough to plan a wedding?

It's actually 11 months and 2 weeks - i think this is a PERFECT amount of time to be engaged and comfortably plan a wedding... but i have a friend that thinks it's rushing. Any thoughts??

IMO its not, but then again I guess no matter how long you have to plan you wedding in those last finally days you will always fell rushed and overwhelemed.
It really depends how big of a wedding you want and all of that.

Re: 12 months long enough to plan a wedding?

If I had the money, I could plan a wedding in a month. The internet makes it so easy for you to find everything you need. One year is a perfect amount of time. I have one year and seven months and it is too long, but I need to save to buy some things for the wedding.

I did mine in less than 12 months (about 11) and had no problems at all.
I didn't feel rushed and also didn't feel like it was taking forever to get married.

Re: 12 months long enough to plan a wedding?

absolutely.....I got engaged 10/30 and my wedding is 8/13/05....plenty of time....just be careful with your wedding gown...you'll want to order ASAP. Mine will take 6-9 months to come in (obviously cutting it a little close)

Re: 12 months long enough to plan a wedding?

I got engaged september 25th and my wedding is for september 24th 2005...its plenty of time, i have everything done (except those i cant do till later, invites..etc). I know a friend who planned it in 6 months..and my one sister planned a full wedding in 4 months! If you wait a long time, most of the time is spent waiting...so i dont think its rushing at all!

Re: 12 months long enough to plan a wedding?

you'll be fine. I was engaged for a year before we really started planning - i don't think i would have wanted to really start any sooner. You should have more options for a fall wedding... i don't think vendors books as fast from Nov - April as they do from like May - October :)

Re: 12 months long enough to plan a wedding?

You girls are all awesome - so helpful - I'm so excited to start planning!

We're going to check out sites this coming weekend, and I've already found a couple of places I really like that have the date I want available!

Once the site is booked, I think I can be a lot more laid back about the rest of it - Thanks so much for all of your opinions!
