Regardless of the time of year when your engagement took place, most brides and grooms will take 13 to 18 months to plan their wedding. Between coordinating a venue, determining your caterer of choice, selecting the dress and tuxedos (are alternate apparel choices), establishing the guest list and getting invitations in the mail or out via social media and the internet, there are so many things to do. And though this might seem like a lengthy timeline, it can be easy to forget various steps, especially when deciding to plan your own wedding without the help of a professional wedding planner.
