So, the love of your life has said \u201cI do,\u201d and you\u2019ve both decided that you don\u2019t want to beat around the bush, but instead get married as soon as possible. This is a great idea, as it keeps the momentum moving quickly and the excitement at fever pitch. If you\u2019ve given yourself a target of three months (short, but not too short), then it\u2019s just the right amount of time to plan an unforgettably amazing wedding. Here are a few pieces of advice.<\/p>\n

Pick a date and location<\/h2>\n

Where you get married doesn\u2019t always have to be traditional. You could book a spot at a restaurant, a local park, or even see if anyone you know has a giant backyard that could fit a large group of people! Think outside the box and there is bound to be many locations that will fit the bill, so to speak.<\/p>\n

Send out those invitations<\/h2>\n

You\u2019re going to need to send invitations to make sure people have saved the date. You could do this via social media or email, of course, but as you\u2019ve got three months, there\u2019s still time for a little tradition. You\u2019ll need a lot of nice envelopes, so order a bunch at once<\/a> and get them in the mail as quickly as possible and wait for the R.S.V.Ps to arrive.<\/p>\n

Find wedding attire<\/h2>\n

You might not have time to get a brand new dress fitted and made within three months, which is why we suggest going second-hand! Someone in your family may even have an old wedding dress that fits you, which has the added bonus of sentimental value. If you don\u2019t like that idea, though, you could also try vintage stores. Another option is to simply purchase a white bridesmaid dress, which will still look beautiful but at a much cheaper price. For men, it\u2019s always possible to rent a suit or tuxedo if you currently have nothing suitable.<\/p>\n

Music, food, and drinks on the cheap<\/h2>\n

For music, there\u2019s no need to hire a DJ when a Spotify playlist is just as good. Just make sure you\u2019ve got a premium account without ads between the songs! As for food and drinks, you could always ask guests to bring a small something and tell them to forego any wedding gift. Wedding cakes are often more epic than they need to be, but you can still buy a beautifully made cake and then simply put on a wedding topper.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to provide a full three-course meal for your guests, but could instead offer a buffet, which a lot of people often prefer. Drinks could also be purchased in bulk from a supplier, and whatever\u2019s left over can still be drunk eventually! Bridebox actually made a calculation<\/a> for how many drinks would be needed for 100 people, which included:<\/p>\n
