Well our wedding is less then 1 year away now! Time goes by so fast. Currently we are on top of all of our wedding details, but now is the time to stay on top. Now that all of the major vendors are locked in it is time to start thinking about the smaller details.

For our wedding this includes looking at different save the date options and invitation options. For the save the date decision my fiancé and I both love the idea of save the date magnets. The reason we like the magnets is because we love the idea of our wedding reminder being on our friends refrigerators. It is brilliant and it will help all of our close friends and family to save the date. We both like the idea of having our picture on the magnet. There is something extra special about our faces being on their refrigerator as a reminder.

For our invitations again we like the idea of having our picture either on the invitation or at least inside of the invitation. We have not picked out the design of our invitations yet but we like the idea of them being the same colors as our wedding colors. We are still on the look out for the perfect invitations but when we find them we will both know.

Well I have less then a year left before the big day! I am happy to report that I am in the process of locking in all of the vendors and so far my fiancé and I have all of our first choice picks! It seems a little stressful right now but as soon as all of the major players are booked the rest are all wedding details. I consider the major players being the date reserved for ceremony/reception site, the catering, the dj, the photographer and the videographer.

It feels good to almost be done with all of the major vendors. My advice to any bride is start planning right away and the sooner the better! If you start planning as soon as you can you too can have all of your first picks. I cannot imagine running around last minute trying to book and organize all of the vendor’s last minute.

If you are less then 1 year away and do not have all of the major details taken care of, take my advice and start booking them right away. I am amazed to see how fast all of the vendors book up! I am moving into more of the smaller wedding details and I will keep you all posted of how that goes…until next time brides to be….
