Set the date
How much time should it take you to plan your wedding? Depending on your lifestyle, decide how much time you will dedicate each week to planning the wedding. Ask yourself if you will need an extra pair of hands. This will help guide you in deciding whether or not to hire a wedding planner too.
Set the budget
