The thought of sharing your life with the man or woman you love is a wonderful. However, with the joy comes stress. Take away the stress hire a wedding planner. Then can sit back relax and enjoy the ride.

Well I just got married.. and I used http://www.theknot.com. It was great for me. It has a checklist that you can keep track of, a guest list manager where you can keep track of RSVP's and even a gift log that keeps track of thank you card to send and sent ones. You can even make your own website and send it to all your friends and family. The checklist was a great planning tool for me. It has all the items brokedown into months, weeks, and even days. Good luck!

Never see or accept one person price... compare compare compare and keep ask people who they used or if they liked the person and the outcome.

Plan WAY in advance start as early as possible and buy what you need a little at a time. Believe me We just went through it and it is all over but planning ahead did help a lot

Congratulations!

Register at theknot.com and set up your wedding webpage so everyone can get the information easily. You don't need a wedding planner if you have the time to do it yourself.

The first step is to start working on the major details: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. I'd make lists for the following in a notebook that you buy specifically for wedding stuff (the $0.30 will help you so much in the long run). In it I would include:

Who: Who is going to be in your wedding party?, who are you going to invite?, who is going to officiate? Who is going to pay?

What: What is the theme? What level of formality? What is a must and what can you live without? What is your budget?

Where: Where is the ceremony? Where is the reception? Where is your honeymoon?

When: What date? What time?

Why: Why do you want to get married? This is the premarital counseling stuff which I highly recommend. Don't get so excited about your wedding that you forget about your marriage.

From there you can figure out which vendors you can afford and what is most important to you. If you ever need vendors, the phonebook and theknot.com are great resources.

Congratulations again and Good Luck!

Lists, lists and more lists. List your guests, your venue options, your dresses, his suits, the honeymoon, what sort of reception (day and evening or either/or or both). Put everything down in plain English so that you understand what you are doing. Where you can pin pictures to your lists (ie. of the dresses you like, the venues you like etc) so that you can easily compare them. The start pricing everything up - again on your lists. The sit down compare everything you have a make your decisions. Once your decisions are made - start new lists of what you have to do. It works - I sailed trough my wedding and reception and I got married in Vegas and had a reception to organise for the week after I got back.
