“Congratulations on getting engaged–when’s the big day? When are you getting married?” That is the question all newly engaged couples get: when will the wedding take place.
The first, most important step in planning your wedding is setting the date.
It makes sense that setting the date comes first. In the beginning, you probably have a little more flexibility. You might think fall would be a great time to get married, but would be willing to go with September or October. You might think a casual, barn-themed reception would be nice, if you can find a location with an open weekend. You might want your ceremony at your grandparents’ church, so you need to pick a date that they are able to schedule your wedding.
Knowing your wedding date allows you to ask other wedding professionals about their availability. Often, other wedding professionals won’t be able to lock in your wedding until they know the date. Some businesses, like florists and bakers, may work with several brides and grooms on any particular weekend. Other businesses, like wedding coordinators, photographers or DJs may only book one couple on a date.
Once brides and grooms get the location and date locked in for their ceremony and reception, they will feel more confident moving on to the other planning.
