Wedding Planning Checklist: 10 Must-Do Tasks 7-9 Months Out

Planning a Wedding? Here's Your 7-9 Month Checklist Getting married is exciting, but planning a wedding can be overwhelming. The Knot, a leading wedding planning resource, recently released a helpful video outlining key tasks for couples 7-9 months out from their big day. The video emphasizes organization and offers a step-by-step approach. First, send out save-the-dates. "Now is the time to choose your design, collect guest addresses or emails, and get them in the mail," advises the speaker in the video. This ensures guests can reserve the date and make travel arrangements. Next, schedule an engagement shoot for photos to use on your wedding website and invitations. Booking entertainment, whether a band, DJ, or creating a playlist, is also crucial at this stage. The video also recommends booking rentals like chairs and linens. In addition to the logistical elements, the video encourages couples to create a wedding registry and website, explore wedding insurance, and begin thinking about their honeymoon. Sharing a timeline with your wedding party for attire and the day-of schedule is also important, according to the video's advice. Finally, confirming all vendors and reserving a rehearsal dinner location are essential steps. The Knot offers helpful tools to keep your plan on track. By following these steps, couples can approach their wedding planning with confidence and organization, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable experience.
