Reasons to consider a short engagement – why wait?
We know what you're thinking: "Short engagement weddings! What is this madness?" But hear us out.
You may think that a perfect wedding takes months or even years to plan. However, there is nothing to stop you from getting married at short notice and still having a fabulous last-minute wedding celebration
And guess what? There's a new option in town! It's called a "short engagement wedding," and it's perfect for anyone who wants to get married quickly but still have the best wedding ever.
What do I do first?
To make your last-minute wedding plans go smoothly, you need to be well organised. Start by making a checklist of the things you need to do. At the highest level, you should start with:
Create a guest list – this may well have an impact on the venue you choose
Create a shortlist of venues ASAP
BOOK YOUR VENUE!
Send ‘Save the Date’ cards as soon as you have booked your venue
Choose your wedding dress and outfits for your bridal party
Send invitations!
Decide on flowers for the venue and those for the bridal party
Book your honeymoon!
As soon as you complete a task, mark it off the list. Also, remember to tackle the most important tasks first—after all, you can't have a wedding without booking a venue!
