Hey everyone, I getting married in March 2005. I thought I had a lot of time to wait to plan.Now I see that everyone starts early. How far in advance do you all think I should start booking? we have our dj and reception hall. Flowers? Wedding gown? Accomodations? Limo? I just don't have any clue!!! Thanks..

Re: When should I book???
I booked my limo one month before my big day.. I ordered my dress about 6 months before, got it in July or early August.... Your accomadations for your guests I would do about hte same time as you get your invitations, just so that when you are ready to mail them out, you can insert the card in with them (I got a block at two hotels to givve my guests a choice).... And I signed with my florist, DJ, Photo and Video about three months before. (I had a short engagement)..... Its never too early, but you want the BEST DEAL.... SO DO YOUR RESEARCH AND DONT SETTLE for anything less than what YOU want!! Good Luck and Best Wishes!!!

I am getting married in Jan 2005 - FH and I are booking the band within the next two weeks, will start looking for photographer right after that - and i am going dress shopping oct 11 - Flowers will be right after photographer - i rather get all the major vendors out of the way - especially since it is possible that prices are being raised now -

there's no set time - but you should definitely use this time to research and if you see someone you like and really want - book them. prices do go up annually, so you have to be careful not to wait too late!

I wouldn't wait too long. Good places book quickly. FH and I chose to book a lot early, just to get it done. We had just about everything booked at the one year mark. Some places might not let you book too early though, so don't get upset if they won't see you. Our florist didn't want to see us until around eight months before. Good Luck and have fun!!!

take the time to research. You do not have to feel pressured, there are tons of great places out their, enough for everyone. Take the time to price and see different companies.
