  • Find the priest (if applicable).

  • Research and book the vendors you'll need for each wedding event: venue, caterers, decorators/florists, stationery, designer/printer and DJ/band (you can start researching your photographer/video man, choreographer and mehendi artist as well, though you won't need to book them right away). If possible, you and each vendor should sign a contract and you might need to put down a deposit.

  • Meet with each of the vendors you've booked and make a plan for what needs to happen between now and the wedding. Create deadlines for both you and them in terms of when decisions have to be made, samples viewed and approved, and meetings held.

    Three months prior

  • Begin shopping for gifts to exchange with the groom and his family at the wedding.

  • Work with your priest to plan an event flow for your wedding ceremony, including a list of all the gear you'll need to bring for the rites. Organise a document that explains the wedding day timeline for you, the groom and close relatives. You can use the same information to create a programme for your guests.
