Planning a wedding on a tight timeline can feel overwhelming, but rest assured, it’s entirely achievable! If you’re aiming for a stunning celebration at Adler Ranch Wedding Venue in Alexandria, MN, and have less than six months to plan, we’ve got you covered! Today we bring you the ultimate guide to planning a wedding in under six months with these essential tips and tricks!
Prioritize Your Essentials
Start by sitting down with your partner to determine what aspects of your wedding are most important to you. At Adler Ranch, we understand the significance of your big day, so prioritize the elements that matter most. Decide on your non-negotiables and where you’re open to flexibility. This will help you focus on the crucial tasks and prevent you from feeling overwhelmed by minor details. Perhaps you’re flexible on the wedding date, or the day of the week, or the time frame of the event, being flexible allows a wedding to be planned faster and with much less stress.
Set and Stick to Your Budget
With a shorter planning timeline, it’s crucial to establish a clear budget early on. Determine how much you can allocate to each aspect of your wedding, whether it’s the venue, catering, or entertainment. At Adler Ranch, we offer a variety of packages and options for many budgets! Reach out to Adler Ranch and ask what is included with your package; we can save you money on rentals, centerpieces and other items that you can use from our Something Borrowed Collection, all at no additional cost!
Book Your Vendors ASAP
Time is of the essence when planning a wedding in under six months. Start reaching out to vendors immediately to check availability and request quotes. Be specific about your needs and ask for references if necessary. Popular vendors can book up quickly, so be flexible with your choices and secure your preferred options as soon as possible. Ask your wedding venue for referrals to vendors that do great work!

Simplify Where Possible
Consider simplifying certain aspects of your wedding to streamline the process. Choose pre-designed invitations or digital RSVPs instead of custom stationery. Use the Adler Ranch ‘Something Borrowed Collection’ to simplify your decor and save money on rentals. Consider renting wedding florals to stretch your budget on decor and floral.
“The key to planning a wedding in a short timeframe, is to be organized and have a well-defined timeline of the tasks to complete. ”
Prioritize Self-Care
Amid the flurry of wedding planning, don’t forget to take care of yourself. Planning a wedding can be stressful, especially with a tight deadline. Take breaks when needed, lean on friends and family for support, and delegate tasks where possible. Remember, the most important thing is celebrating your love with those who matter most.
