How Far Ahead Should You Reserve Your Wedding

Timing is everything…especially when you are planning the perfect wedding. There is a beautiful event venue to reserve, caterers to schedule, guest lists to make, invitations to order and send, a gorgeous dress to choose, fittings, vow decisions, an entire wedding registry to decide, cakes to taste, a honeymoon to plan and so much more! If it’s a destination wedding, keep in mind that you also have hotel room blocks to reserve.

Most people plan their weddings one to two years in advance and book their church or temple and wedding reception venue as soon as they become engaged. Don’t worry if you don’t have that much time though. You can plan beautiful beach wedding in less time. However, remember that your RSVP date should be three weeks prior to the event. Your caterer will need guest counts well in advance of your event. So, at a minimum, you need to send out your invites six weeks in advance and set an RSVP date for two weeks before. Add time to choose and print those invites too. Caterers, flowers, the cake, bands, etc. should be booked months in advance if possible. Timing is also largely predicated on your wedding date. If the timing of your wedding is in high demand, give yourself some extra wiggle room for sure!
