Sometimes you may have to start even before depending on the size of the function and the availability of the venues. Many popular wedding locations get booked years in advance and if you plan on getting married during a peak season like June you need to start soon.

Depending on the type of wedding you are having, you will have to order food. For example, Eastern style weddings will require food that matches that culture, but caterers can always have some western food available if you give them the right instructions in advance. Make sure you order more food than the number of guests as it is normally the case that you may have a few extra people showing up.
