When you’re at the six month mark of your wedding planning, there are a few things you want to make sure are checked off your list!
- Send out save the dates! At the six month mark is exactly when you should be sending out your save the dates! It gives people enough time to ask off from work, make travel arrangements, and change any plans if necessary. Sending them out any earlier, people might misplace them, or completely forget they received it because it came too soon. Sending it out any later and it might as well be the actual wedding invitation!
- Order your bridesmaid dresses! Bridal shops usually need six months to guarantee the dress will come in on time.
- Make sure you have important documents! This is a little random, but check to make sure you know where your social security card is. You’re going to be needing that when it comes time to get your marriage license and when, or if, you change your name. So if it turns out you lost it, give yourself plenty of time to get it replaced. Also, of you don’t have a passport, now is the time to get one if you’re traveling out of the country for your honeymoon.
- Now is a great time to book your honeymoon! Do you research, go over how much you have to spend on it, and talk to a travel agent. If you’re getting married in the summer, talking about tropical beaches in the middle of the winter will help boost your spirits!! ;)
- Decide on the color theme of your house: If you don’t already have a home together, now is the time to decide on the feel of your new home together. You need to know what colors you want, so you know what to register for in the next couple months.
- Decide on a hotel: You’re going to want to have a block of rooms at a hotel close to the where you’re having your wedding. Start researching local hotels, and see how well they can accommodate you, and your guests. Find one that has a pretty reasonable price. Also see if they have a shuttle to get guests to and from the wedding. Ask if they can do “welcome bags” for your guests, and if it will be an extra cost.
I hope this was helpful! Like always, feel free to comment below with any other advice!
XO, Val
