5 Months to Plan Wedding?

Hi all, I was informed by one of my reception halls that they have an available date in May 2006. The price would be less 'cus it's a cancelled date. Realistically, would 5 months be enough time to plan a wedding?

I was thinking about getting married in September 2006 so haven't looked or booked anything else yet. :(

Absolutely can be done. if the price is really great, I would go for it.

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

My sister-in-law planned her wedding in six months without a hitch, same deal, I think they took a cancelled date and got a good deal. I'd go with it. Might have to have your gown rush ordered though.

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

I think it can be done but you might have to be a little flexible with some vendors... the popular ones might be booked. I heard some vendors will be willing to lower their price when the date is so close.

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

We planned ours in six months, really four b/c we weren't looking at wedding stuff in the beginning of our engagement. It's totally possible and for us it was better, b/c the planning was very stressful. but definatly you would need to be very flexible about other vendors.

Also, are you getting married in a church? We're Jewish, so we just got married at hte hall. It might be hard to coordinate antoher site in that short period of time.

One more thing: order your dress now. Most places take 6 months for a dress to come in. What I ended up doing, was going to RK bridal,and there is a line called DaVinci, which comes in in two weeks.

Feel free to FM with any ?

My friend planned her wedding in 5 months, so if you are getting a great deal, you may want to consider it! Good Luck!

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

With hard work and LIweddings you so can do it!
Go for it if they gave you a good deal!

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

My brother did it in 5.... and he didnt use a hall... he had to get EVERYTHING himself including curtains, tables, chairs...

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

You can definitely plan it in 5 months! If you book, you can post on the vendors board for whatever you need and go from there. Good luck!

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

Absolutely! I did it!! In 4 I think! Check out my review. Everything was PERFECT!

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

definately it can be done

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

You can do it!!! Just get busy right away and youll be amazed at what you can get done. And you know we can all help

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

i have heard of people planning weddings in two months, so it's definitely doable!!!! it may be hard to book the "popular" LIW photographers/videographers, but dont let that get you down because there are tons of other talented photographers/videographers out there, and they'll probably give you a great deal since you're booking last minute! other than that, i dont think you should have trouble w/any other vendors. good luck!

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

You can plan a wedding in one month with LIW girls helping you!

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

i def think that an awesome wedding could be planned in 6 months!!!!

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

I know someone who planned in 2 months, so it can be done!!!

You will have to be flexible with your vendors, and you will have to move fast on a lot of things, but it's not impossible!!

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

IMO, that is enough time....order your dress ASAP

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

YES...............I booked my hall December 7 for April 30, 2006. Within 2 weeks I had my photographer/videographer, DJ/MC, ordered invitations and ordered my dress! I am ordering bridal party dresses on the 3rd and I have favors picked out.

I can be done! And I'm not stressed at all.....of course....I have to admit that this went smoothly with all of the advise from the girls here. I knew where to start and where to go because of the ladies here.

LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

I can be done, but you have to get cracking now. It should be fun.

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

My aunt and uncle had about that long to plan their wedding. They started looking in January and got married May 22.

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

Yes, the dresses should be ordered ASAP though, because there are sometimes delays.

I bought the sample to be safe. It was clean, beautiful, MUCH MUCH cheaper and I had it right away.

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

Totally doable.

I know peoplw who have gotten married in 2 months and their weddings were awesome.

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

I'm plannnig my wedding in 5 months as well, and so far I got so much taken care of already.

I think with less time, you're under more pressure so you end up getting more done in less time!

Re: 5 Months to Plan Wedding?

it can definitely be done! if you didn't order your dress yet, do it ASAP.

it's a good opportunity if you'll be saving so much $$! I would do it
