If I hear from one more who says I am plannig and locking myself into things way too early why ask where I am in planning.....now I should have kept looking at places and why would I be stuck and want to choose a photgrapher now when there are so many out there that aren't online.....

Re: arrrrr..quick vent
LOL!!! I understand!!
I'm not getting married until next year; but am starting to look now b/c i don't want a year full of 'IF' and 'Maybe's' and 'I think' if i fall in love with a hall now; i really doubt they'll have a new one built in the next 20 months. So it's good to start look at halls now and if you find one you love lock in your date AND PER PERSON PRICE otherwise you'll just guessing-well i think my hall costs such & such $$ pp only to find out it's actually more!!
I just feel planing early; easies some of the stress AND allows you to budget better.
Try telling them 'We need TWO YEARS TO PAY FOR IT' LOL!

I like to book everything early because it is one less thing to worry about especially since me and FH are print our own invites, place cards, programs and menus. Anfd I also don't want to be stressed when it gets closer.

DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE!!!! All the 2011 brides are fine with planning now for next year! Trust me it goes by really fast, and if you plan and put deposits down now that will save you the stress when you get closer to the wedding.

Forget what people say, unless they are helping you pay for the wedding especially the RH they should have no say what so ever, You decided to go with that hall because you loved it!
I personally love our RH (since we are RH twins) the food is EXCELLENT the people are great and we have a beautiful ballroom.....so don't worry too much about what family/friends have to say, enjoy the time you have planning your wedding since time will fly by so fast and before you and I know it, we will be married
btw they now have new chairs!!!!!!!!! (in case you didn't know)
