that requires a deposit for the date (vendors) What else is on your list besides dresses, gifts, and invitations? What's the priority of those tasks?
Your dress. It can take 6-8 months to come in, depending. I bought gifts here and there so it wasn't all at once, when I saw a sale or if I saw something perfect.
Definitely any DIY projects you have in mind. Get them done as early as possible because you don't want to be driving yourself bananas a month before your wedding. Dress definitely takes top priority over the other things. Bridesmaids dresses/tuxes.
Yeah, I have my dress and the girls dresses taken care of. I want to make sure I'm not forgetting anything important that needs to be done right away. Ideally, I'd like to get everything done ASAP so I can relax closer to the wedding (I know that is not reality, but a girl can dream)
