First things first, Congratulations on your engagement! The journey ahead is an exciting and memorable one. Here are some tips to help you make the most of this special time:

Celebrate and Announce to Loved ones
​
Take some time to celebrate this wonderful milestone with your partner, friends, and family. Plan an engagement party or a simple gathering to share your joy.

Discuss a Vision
​
Discuss your vision for the wedding with your partner. This includes details like the atmosphere, colors, and overall vibe. Deciding on an overall theme or style you want for your wedding will help guide your choices for decor, attire, and other elements

Figure out a Budget (Probably the most important step!)
Determine your budget for the wedding. This will influence many of your decisions moving forward, so it's important to establish a realistic budget early on.  Deciding on the total amount you're comfortable spending on your wedding will be the foundation of your budget and will guide all your spending decisions.  Having an honest conversation about your finances - Discuss your current savings, income, and any contributions from family members.

Creating a Guest List
Start creating a preliminary guest list. This will help you estimate the size of your wedding and select an appropriate venue. Your guest count will significantly impact your budget. (But you did step 3, so you know right ;)   More guests mean higher costs, etc. etc.

Choose a Venue and Pick a Date
These two go hand in hand.  Research and visit potential wedding venues. Consider the size, style, location, and availability of the venues you're interested in based on everything you have discussed from steps 2-4! 
 Do you want to hire a wedding planner?
If you're feeling overwhelmed, you might consider hiring a wedding planner to help with the details and logistics. Obviously this is optional, depending on the room in your budget.  Many planners do have different packages or service - full planning from engagement to wedding day, or just help on the day of.  Its worth some research!
Hire a Stationer!
I may be a bit biased but stationery is the FUN part of planning!  Hiring a stationer can really set the tone for your wedding. These pieces are the first thing your guests will see for your big day and are also pieces you will treasure forever.  As a stationer, I can help you from Save the Dates, Invitations, and Day of Needs and complete a cohesive look and feel with your love story in mind

I hope this list has helped - but most importantly - Enjoy the Process! 
​Wedding planning is a journey to be enjoyed. Don't let stress overshadow the excitement of this special time in your life. Remember, every couple is unique, and your wedding planning journey may vary. Take your time, communicate openly with your partner, and make decisions that reflect your personalities and preferences. Congratulations again, and I hope to hear all about your wedding and chat stationery!
