- Budget
- Now this is a scary one but it is something that needs to be discussed and you want to do it sooner than later. Discuss with both sides of the family if they are willing to contribute to your big day and talk to your fiance and make a plan and come up with an estimated cost on what you can spend on your big day. I promise that this will make your journey to planning your big day easier if you figure this out in the early stages.

- Create a guest list
- I highly recommend starting this early so you can determine how many people you are actually inviting so you can keep on budget and determine the size of a venue to look at. Although this can be a daunting task the best way to do it is to sit down with your fiance and start from the core and work outward. Start with immediate family members, close relatives, best friends, distant relatives, family friends, work friends and colleagues. You can always go back and edit this as well but this will get you a starting point.
