I'd get the major things done for your wedding first.. RH Church DJ/Band Photographer Florist Limo maybe Honeymoon. (i'm trying to get this done now too since the prices are so great)
Then.. if your friends are getting married in 2009 leave the rest of your stuff alone for the time being. I'm MOH in a August 09 wedding and there is no way i can do everything for my wedding and her's right now.
