10 Things To Do As Soon As You Get Engaged

Congratulations on your recent engagement! Now that the ring is on your finger and the proposal has happened, it's time to start thinking about planning the wedding of your dreams.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the thought of planning a wedding, don't worry - you're not alone. The process can be daunting, with so many details to consider and decisions to make. That's where Kogan Events comes in. As a full-service wedding planner and designer based in Atlanta, Georgia, we take care of everything for you.

Here are our top tips for newly engaged couples:

1. Celebrate!

Take some time to bask in the joy of your newly engaged status. Have an intimate dinner with your closest family and friends, or plan an engagement party. Celebrating your engagement is a great way to start this new journey together.

2. Talk About Your Priorities

Discuss the most important aspects of your wedding with your partner. Decide which elements are non-negotiable and which ones you can compromise on. This is the time to get on the same page about what kind of wedding you’d like to have, how you’d like to handle finances, and other important topics.

3. Set a budget and stick to it

One of the first steps in planning your wedding is to determine how much you can afford to spend. This will help guide your decisions and ensure that you don’t overspend. It’s also important to allocate your budget wisely and prioritize what’s most important to you.

4. Create a guest list

The size of your guest list will determine many aspects of your wedding, including the venue, catering, and overall budget. Consider who you absolutely must invite, and then trim the list as needed to fit your budget and venue. It’s also a good idea to set aside a certain number of spots for unexpected guests who may come out of the woodwork.

5. Choose your wedding date wisely

The date of your wedding will affect many things, including the availability of your desired venue and vendors. Consider the time of year, the weather, and any major events or holidays that may conflict with your desired date. It’s also a good idea to give yourself plenty of time to plan and avoid rushing into decisions.

6. Create a wedding planning email

Creating a new email specifically for wedding planning is a great way to stay organized and ensure that all of your wedding-related emails and information are in one place. It also helps to keep your personal email free from wedding-related spam and clutter.

7. Hire a Atlanta-based wedding planner

At Kogan Events, we believe that hiring a wedding planner should be at the top of your to-do list – before you even start thinking about booking a venue or other vendors. Here’s why:

• A wedding planner can save you time and stress. Planning a wedding is a huge undertaking, and it can be overwhelming trying to juggle all of the details on your own. A wedding planner can handle the logistics and coordination so you can focus on enjoying the process and making important decisions.

• A wedding planner has the connections and expertise to help you find the best venue and vendors for your budget and vision. Wedding planners work with a variety of vendors – from florists and photographers to caterers and musicians – and they know which ones are reputable and reliable. They can also negotiate contracts and pricing on your behalf.

• A wedding planner can help you stay on track and within budget. It’s easy to get carried away with wedding planning and overspend, but a wedding planner can provide guidance and support to help you make smart financial decisions. They can also create a detailed budget and timeline to keep you organized and on track.

8. Pick a wedding party

Choose your wedding party and ask them to be part of your special day.

9. Take Engagement Photos

Document this special time in your life with engagement photos. This is a great way to remember this time and share your joy with your family and friends.

10. Enjoy the Moment!

Take the time to enjoy your engagement and celebrate your love. Spend time together, go on dates, and savor this special time in your lives.
