Congrats, you're engaged! Now what?

Are you recently engaged? Or are you anticipating the big question? Well, you're in luck! This blog is for you.  
​
You are probably filled with so much excitement, your head could explode!  All you can think about is what comes next, and all the ideas you have for your big day. But the real question arises– where to start?!

There is SO much information – and often it can be overwhelming – about what steps to take. There are so many things that are floating around in your mind; picking a wedding date, creating a wedding website, creating a budget, deciding who you are going to invite, and so much more.  

It is no wonder why newly engaged couples are overwhelmed from day one! On average, a couple spends over 250 hours planning their wedding. That is equivalent to taking 6 weeks off work!

The 405 team wants to remind you of just a few tips to keep your grounded during the process: ​

Be in the moment 
Take a deep breath! Be sure to savor this exciting moment – be sure to enjoy the newly engaged bliss. There is plenty of time to plan all of the details to your wedding. 

Share the news 
Don’t forget to let everyone know about all of your exciting news! It doesn’t have to be right away, take a few hours or even a few days.  

Keep the spark alive 
Make sure you remember to plan fun and exciting dates for you and your partner. Sometimes you can get caught up in all of the wedding process you forget that your relationship is the priority.
  
Book your wedding venue and hire a wedding coordinator
