5 Things to Do Now If You Got Engaged in 2025! 💍✨

First off—congratulations! You said “YES,” and now it’s time to start the journey toward “I DO.” But before you dive into a Pinterest frenzy, let’s talk about the first five things you should do to set yourself up for stress-free wedding planning. And don’t worry—if your big day is a year or two away, there’s no need to rush. Let’s do this the right way!

1. Set Your Wedding Vision & Budget 💡💰
Before making any decisions, sit down with your partner and discuss what you both envision. Do you see a grand ballroom wedding, an intimate elopement, or something totally unique? Once you have a vision, establish a budget—this will help guide every choice moving forward!

2. Pick a Timeframe, Not Just a Date 📆✨
You don’t need an exact date right away, but having a general timeframe (spring 2026? Fall 2025?) will make it easier to book vendors. Keep in mind that venues and key vendors book up 12-18 months in advance, so locking in your season early is key!

3. Choose Your Wedding Party 🎉👰🏽‍♂️
If you’re planning to have bridesmaids, groomsmen, or a wedding crew, now’s the time to ask them! Giving them plenty of notice ensures they can plan accordingly—whether that means saving money, requesting time off, or just preparing for their big role in your day.

4. Research & Book Key Vendors 📸💒
Some vendors book up fast—especially officiants (👀), photographers, and venues. If you have a specific vendor in mind, reach out early! If your date is flexible, you might even snag better deals during off-peak seasons.

5. Enjoy the Moment! ❤️🥂
It’s easy to get caught up in the planning, but don’t forget to celebrate your engagement. Plan a fun date night, throw an engagement party, or simply enjoy this exciting chapter before wedding planning takes full swing.

No matter your timeline, remember—this process should be fun. And when you’re ready to book your officiant, you know where to find me! 😉 Let’s make your wedding unforgettable!
