Planning a wedding during the holidays can be an exciting and magical experience. However, it can also come with its fair share of challenges. With so many festivities and commitments during this time of year, it’s important to approach the planning process with a clear and organized mindset. From setting a budget to choosing a date that works for everyone, there are several key steps to consider when starting to plan your dream holiday wedding. You may feel that it can be a lot to navigate, but I’m going to help you figure out how to do it.

Here’s a mini guide that breaks down into simple steps on how to start planning a wedding during the holidays.

How to Start Planning a Wedding During the Holidays

Start the fun part early, browsing social media for style inspo to find what you really want and feel. Put together a mood board or two and then narrow down the choice during the planning process.

Use holiday get-togethers to celebrate your engagement and help with your planning.

Who needs an extra reason for celebration during the holidays? Engaged couples, of course! Announce the good news, enjoy your engagement phase, and maybe throw a party too. December is a busy month with family and friend visits and lots of reasons to host a party, but one of the most fun is to celebrate an engagement!

Don’t send save-the-date cards in the rush of the Christmas card season.

Save the dates are more likely to be ignored during Christmas, so I advise my couples not to send them then. Also, so many packages and mail get lost during the holiday season; you don’t want your beautiful card to be one of them! If possible, I always recommend sending them either before December or right after the New Year.Bonus: You can start collecting your family and friends’ addresses!

the ugly part of planning a wedding is setting a budget

I know it’s not fun, but it needs to be done initially. The last thing you want to do is splurge on a venue or vendor and find out later that it’s completely out of range, with little left for everything else. If you decide to go with a wedding planner, they can help you set it up.

Take advantage of the holiday sales.

All good sales to use to your advantage while you are planning! You can buy wedding dresses and suits, accessories, invitation suites, decor, and some vendors have end-of-year specials!

First and foremost, enjoy your engagement! Use the holiday get-togethers, share the news in person, and, if possible, celebrate by throwing an engagement party with your friends.

Holiday parties are fun for many reasons, but celebrating an engagement is especially fun! If you recently accepted your partner’s proposal, get ready to share your beautiful story with eager family and friends. They will be excited to hear all about it and may even share their own wedding planning experiences. After that, put the champagne on ice and prepare for an amazing time!
