Wedding Checklist - 12 months to go

It's never too early to start planning the biggest day of your life. In fact, given the speed with which venues book out and dresses are sold, it's probably a good idea to start your wedding planning as far in advance as possible.

Here's your "one year to go" checklist.

1. SET THE DATE

Almost everything else you do will depend on the date you decide to get married on. You won't be able to book your venue, hire your cars, arrange photography, or even choose your dress until you have at least an approximate date in mind, so now is the time to get thinking.

Some couples have their hearts set on either a summer or winter wedding, or want to get married on a date which is special to then in some way. Others are happy to get married any time their chosen venue can fit them in. Whichever category you fall into, setting your date is your first step in planning your wedding. And once you've made your decision, you'll have something much more concrete to look forward to!

2. SET YOUR BUDGET

Again, there's no point looking at venues and dresses if you're never going to be able to afford them. Your budget will dictate where you get married, how many people you invite, what kind of dress you end up with and where you spend your honeymoon (if you're having a honeymoon at all!). It's important then, that you spend some time early on in the planning to work out how much you'll have to spend.

3. START LOOKING AT VENUES

The most popular wedding venues are booked solid up to one year in advance, sometimes more. Even if you're planning a smaller, more intimate affair, you'll still need to start thinking about where you'd like the wedding to be held, to make sure you're not disappointed if the venue you set your heart on turns out to be fully booked.

Try to visit your short listed venues in person if it's at all possible. It'll give you a much better "feel" for each place, and will also allow you to chat to the staff and ask any questions you may have.

Most venues will hold your booking for around 14 days to allow you to make up your mind before you confirm. Most will also require a deposit from you upon confirmation of the booking, so make sure you really are sure this is the venue for you before you book.

4. START BUILDING YOUR GUEST LIST

You won't be sending out invitations until much later, but start drawing up your guest list now so that you have a rough idea of who'll be there. This is also the time to lay down ground rules about your guests: for example, will you be inviting ex-partners? Will children be welcome at your wedding? You don't need to make your final decision right away, but start thinking about it at least.

It's also a good idea to informally tell your family and friends that you've selected the date for your wedding, particularly those guests who will have to travel to get there. Letting them know the date as early as possible will allow them to clear their diaries and make sure they're able to attend.
