Got the Diamond Engagement ring … Now What?
He asked. You said Yes.
You’ve shown the engagement ring to your friends.
Your Mother is ecstatic.
His mother wants to plan the whole thing.
Now what do you do?
Take a deep breath, get a cup of Starbucks, grab your sweetie and do some serious talking.
There a three questions that need to be answered next.
The Date: Setting a wedding date requires some advanced planning
The Guest List: Who are the people on your must be there list? You will need to check their schedules before deciding on a date.
The Budget: The budget will determine the place and the date. If you are on a tight budget, consider setting a date that is not during peak wedding months of May – Sept and avoid major holidays, when caterers and floral shops charge premiums.
Once you have picked your date, have your guest list and made a budget; you are finally ready to go shopping.
