{Timing Is Everything}
The average American engagement lasts 16 months. No matter how long or short your engagement, you’ll find that planning always comes in two big spurts: the beginning and the end. The longer your engagement, the more time you’ll have in between.
Longer engagements normally get the choice locations and venues. After all, the best people and places book first, so the longer your engagement, the more likely you’ll be able to book your first choices. And once you reserve, you’ll have some downtime in between.
Shorter engagements don’t mean you won’t have a fabulous wedding. You just might have to be a little more flexible in your choices. Since you don’t have as much time, focus on the bigger items that matter the most: location, dress, food and decor. Don’t get distracted by the smaller items that can detract you from the main focal points of your wedding.
No matter how long your engagement, don’t overwhelm yourself with choices. Do research before you go, and schedule appointments. Never schedule appointments for more than three vendors per category. It’s too easy to get overwhelmed. By researching before you schedule, you can save the appointments for helping you narrow down your favorites.
