2. Secure Your Venue & Vendors (Days 31–90)
Once your vision and budget are clear, start securing key bookings: venue, photography, videography, and opened vendor packages. Popular venues and vendors book months in advance, especially during peak seasons.
Pro tips:
- Schedule venue tours with natural light in mind—golden hours are gold for aesthetics.
- Read reviews and request portfolios before signing contracts.
- Negotiate with vendors for inclusions or packages tailored to your style.
3. Finalize Guest List & Save-the-Dates (Days 91–150)
With the big players booked, involve your closest friends and family by creating save-the-dates with your wedding date and venue. This helps guests plan early, especially if traveling from afar.
Ideas:
- Send digital save-the-dates using customizable online tools.
- Include key details: dress code, accommodation suggestions, and registration links.
- Track RSVPs consistently to manage logistics.
