I say the sooner the better! The more you do no the less you will have to worry about when it gets closer!

Good luck!

I would say do everything as early as possible.. You do not want to miss out on a vendor you want to book for example.

Also-- I just got my invites in-- and there may be a problem with the printing of them-- they don't look right to me-- but I have the time to straighten it out, and have them re-printed if need be.

I am trying to take care of anything and everything I can now- cause who the hell knows what will come up later! I ordered my RD invites, brunch invites-- gift bags for OOT bags, etc. If you got a place to store it- might as well cross it off the list.

OK, Stupid me listened to the people who told me I had PLENTY of time to book things like hair and make-up, and I called like 10 people who were booked for my day way back last year, so I would jump on that. Invites, I don't think you need to order too early, because when they come in, you are responsible for storing them and something may happen to them with weather changes, or you may change your guest list or where you are having the ceremony, etc, things happen.
YOu seem to have the major things booked, so maybe just start looking at pictures of bridesmaid dresses that you want and start collecting items for any kind of theme you may be having.
