WeddingPlanning 101
So You’re Getting Married! Here’s What Every Couple Should Know
Before Planning
Engaged? Congratulations! Whether you’re still glowing from the
proposal or knee-deep in Pinterest boards, take a deep breath.
Wedding planning can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
With the right mindset and a few essentials under your belt, you’ll be
able to plan a celebration that reflects your love, your values, and
your future.
Here’s what every couple should know before jumping into the
planning phase:
💍 1. Your Marriage Matters More Than the Wedding
The day is magical, but the marriage is the miracle. Before booking
the venue or finalizing the color palette, take the time to align on your
shared values, communication habits, and long-term goals. Consider
premarital counseling or coaching; it’s not a red flag, it’s a wise
foundation.
2. Create a Realistic Timeline (And Stick to It)
You’ll hear “start planning early” a lot—and it’s true. Ideally, give
yourself 12-18 months, especially if you want specific vendors or a
prime date. Use a month-by-month planning guide (like the one in this
edition!) to break tasks down and avoid last-minute stress.
