defintiely NOT too early for many things...like photog, video, music...

I might look, but not purchase invites...think about STDs...favors...and all the extras

I agree with Yabbobay. I'm getting married in May 2004 and booked most of my vendors a WHILE ago. I already have hall, church, photo, video, DJ and dress. The only thing we haven't done yet is book the florist. We're going to do that soon.

Always book early imo...we booked everything early and got cheaper prices. Its good to know too that certain things are taken care of. I think what you r doing is very smart!

Honestly, when planning a summer wedding I don't thi8nk the term 'too early' applies.

Re: Some people have commented that it's too early to be making plans???

Um, I have two years and am planning on starting the booking process over the summer. For two reasons: 1) I like to take my time deciding on these things and 2) I want to make sure I have the last year before I get married to worry about the smaller details, since I think those are what really add to the wedding. Go for it and don't listen when people tell you it's too early. I hear it all the time, and I don't care. I also like to arrive places early, do they wanna take a shot at that too? Good luck!

Its never too early! People who say usually can't fathom the actually time & effort that goes into a wedding(esspecially a NY wedding).

I wish I had started earlier.....

The only post I saw of yours that made me think you should wait was about your bridal party. I was told by so many people that if they could change anything, it would be that. Relationships can change so quickly- there is no need to pick until you have to.

don't listen, I hated that comment!

If you do alot now, you can relax & take breaks from planning in between, and in the end, you have so much less to do.
