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.
