You're engaged! Now What?

Okay so you just got engaged and you’re probably thinking “what the heck do I gotta do now?”. That is totally understandable, but don’t worry I have got you covered!

As you embark on your wedding planning journey, it's important to remember that this is a special and fleeting time in your life. It's important to savor the moment and not rush through it. To help keep the planning process manageable and enjoyable, here are a few tips to keep in mind:


  1. Establish what factors of the day are most important to you and your partner, and prioritize them in terms of budget and booking. This could include things like the venue, photography, florals, music, and more. By identifying what is most important to you, you can make sure that you allocate the appropriate resources to those areas.

  2. Budgeting is key. Be honest with your vendors about your budget and work with them to find a team that fits all of your needs while staying within budget. It's important to create a budget that is realistic and achievable. This will help you make informed decisions throughout the planning process and ensure that you don't overspend on any one area.

  3. Remember that this day is about you and your partner. Don't be afraid to make decisions that align with your vision, even if they differ from what others may want. It's important to make sure that the day reflects your personality and style as a couple.

  4. Consider getting ring insurance to protect your new bling. It's a big investment and it's important to ensure that it's protected. This will give you peace of mind knowing that your ring is protected in case of loss or damage.

  5. Make sure to set boundaries and take breaks often. It's easy to get consumed in the planning process, but it's important to continue to live your normal life as well. Planning a wedding can be stressful, so it's important to make sure that you're taking care of yourself physically, emotionally and mentally.

  6. Be open to the idea of hiring a wedding planner or coordinator. They can be a valuable asset in helping you navigate the planning process, keep you on track, and make sure that everything runs smoothly on the big day.

  1. Communicate and delegate. Make sure to communicate your vision and expectations to your vendors and delegate tasks to those who are willing to help. This will help to ensure that everything runs smoothly and that you don't get overwhelmed.

Above all, remember to have fun and enjoy this special time in your life. With the right mindset and approach, you can plan the wedding of your dreams.
