First and foremost, take a deep breath and relax for a couple of weeks, enjoy your time with your new “fiance”, I know… it sounds funny to say that now right??  Take the time to reflect on the most exciting time in your life and enjoy it!

1.)  Once those few weeks have passed, then you may want to think about what you and your fiance want to do for your wedding, destination, hometown, big, small, indoor, outdoor, beach, mountains, helicopter (just kidding)

2.)  Discuss your budget, everyone has one so it’s very important to know how much you want to contribute and how much your families will contribute.  Be idealistic when you talk about this.

3.)  Talk with your families to see what their thoughts are, combine your ideas and theirs and see what comes to the table, brainstorming can be fun!

5.)  Discuss with each other what is important to you both while planning your wedding, be open minded to each other.  Talk about what your families might expect, discuss important traditions that you would like to add to the wedding.  Talk about areas that you would like to splurge.  I always ask my new brides and grooms what are the top three things that are important to you.. ie; Band, Photographer, Food and Wine etc.  Start with those three and circle back around in a couple of months to see if those are still your top three.  If they are then that’s where your budget should be spent.

5.)  Guest List, this is a big one too.  Until you know your numbers you won’t know what your realistic budget is or where it can be held.  A great way to narrow this down is you, your fiance, your parents and future in-laws should make a list, separately,  then sit down and talk about where you can cut.  Remember this is a wedding, not a corporate function.  Invite people that you really want to be there, that you can’t imagine celebrating without.

6.)  Most venue’s that are popular to have your wedding reception can book up atleast 12+ months out, so make a list of your favorite places, look at the dates you want and call to see if those dates are available.  Most places will allow you to put a soft hold on the date.

7.)  Hire a wedding planner!

Remember throughout this process to take one day at a time and the true focus on why you are having this wedding, everything always works out in the end!

We are booking for 2012 & 2013 weddings!  We look forward to hearing from you!

“I am an designer by trade and an artist at heart. Painting and paper have always been my passion, your creative options are endless with a piece of paper, scissors, and a little glue” stated Laura, the creator and paper artist if you will, of etcHed, handcrafted invitations.

When throwing any style of event, an invite offers the first impression of you and the event you are hosting. An exciting, intricate and unique invite will  intrigue your guests and leave them wanting more!

Thankfully, Laura, the amazing woman behind these beautiful invitation creations gave me a little background on the company and herself:

“etcHed is a custom stationery business focused on individualized invitations. Each invitation is constructed by hand to reflect one’s personal style and flare. Everyone has an inherent artistic vision and etcHed is here to bring the vision to life, breaking the mold when it comes to a traditional invitation.”

“Some may feel that invitations will just end up tossed into the trash, but we at etcHed see invitations as much more. etcHed produces visually interesting and textural designs that will excite your guests, and shed light on what to expect when it comes to your event.”

“etcHed also has recently “gone green” as our paper vendor provides 30% post-consumer recycled paper products, all of which are made in the USA. On a personally recycling note, I also save all scraps from invitation orders and repurpose them into mixed media paintings.”

Intrigued yet?! Please take the time to check out their website or visit them on Facebook with any questions or inquiries!
