NJ wedding planner: Bridal checklist 6 months prior to wedding!

Planning a wedding can be completely stressful. As a NJ wedding planner I understand what each bride goes through to complete her perfect day. The one tip I cannot stress enough is to stay ORGANIZED! An organized bride will be stress free and on top of her plans. I have decided to put together a checklist for brides. Each week I will give you tasks that should be completed each month before your wedding. This first checklist will be 6 months before your big day!

As soon as you get engaged:

Create an overall wedding budget.

Pick a date and venue. Make sure to book your venue far in advance to get the date you planned on.

Start shopping for wedding gowns.

6 months before wedding:

Create a list of who will be invited to the wedding.

Search for a wedding invitations, place cards, announcements, and thank-you cards.

Book your DJ and Officiant. Make sure to keep contract and budget the money spent.

Purchase your wedding dress to give yourself enough time for tailoring.
