I already had several wedding planning books on hand, and so I started checking things off my wedding planning timeline checklist.

12+ months before (or ASAP)
Done: "Announce your engagement and spread the word. After you've told your friends and family and changed your Facebook status, consider sending in a newspaper engagement announcement...." (We've chosen not to announce in the newspapers quite yet.)
Done: "Get organized. Create a separate e-mail folder to keep all wedding-related communication and research together...."
Done: Envision your overall wedding style and colors.
To Do: Draw up your wedding budget with help from your families.
To Do: Have your engagement ring insured.
Done: Choose a wedding date and time.
To Do: Outline the initial guest list. (Eek! This is so hard for me. I would probably have a billion people invited if it weren't for money.)
Done: Create your wedding website. (It's finished but I'm not publishing it until June 2016!)
To Do: Research reception and ceremony sites.
To Do: Book any priority vendors if there's any you HAVE to have.
To Do: Interview and book a wedding planner.
Hmm. Should I book a wedding planner? Or just pay a friend to do it? When you got married, did you book a planner? How did that go? Would you recommend one?
