Hi, Jo. You know those lovely glossy wedding magazines that you can buy in the newsagents? The ones that try to get you to spend the price of a house on a wedding? Buy a few of those and read them. Do this for a couple of months and then you’ll have a much better idea of what you don’t want and will feel much freer to pick out your wedding. Seriously, though, start by working out what sort of wedding you want. Then work out what sort of wedding you and your partner want. Some people never get beyond this point Most people do, however. Then you set a date, normally a year in advance but lots of people do it before or after then. This will probably be governed by the venue you choose. You can’t have a wedding on 8th January if you can’t find anywhere to get married and you don’t want to get married on cup final day if you are certain your team is going to be in said cup final. In the glossy magazines you will find suggested timescales for things. These aren’t rigid but they generally have a good reason behind them. For example, they usually say to buy your wedding rings three months before your wedding day. That’s because it can take a couple of goes to find something you like and there is often a 28 day lead time on ordering rings. The couple who leave it until three weeks before the wedding might be lucky or they might have to comprimise. There are lots of resources to get suggestions from. Here, for example. http://www.confetti.co.uk/ and http://www.webweddings.co.uk are two good websites. Gather lots of brochures and magazines but don’t let them overwhelm you (I also suggest http://www.etiquettehell.com for how not to do things). Treat finding out what you want as a spiral, you get ever closer to what you want as you make decisions. Don’t get too bogged down in ‘etiquette’. Continue to appreciate that although you are allowed a certain amount of self-indulgence in ‘your’ day, it is also your partner’s day and the day of the people that will be spending it with you. Etiquette is all about not upsetting people or making them uncomfortable, not about rigid protocol that must be adhered to. Hosting a wedding is like hosting any other event, make sure your guests are comfortable. That’s a start for you. And if you read this and decide you don’t want to do it like that, don’t. Best wishes, Liz
