Couples getting married on 18/july/2020 in Ontario

Trisha, on March 21, 2018 at 19:28 Posted in Ontario 0 32

Hey all!!

So it just got real - my fiancee proposed last month and we have chosen our wedding date. July 18, 2020 - (Who else is getting married in 2020?! Smiley smile)

We love our furbabies, we love traveling and meeting people. we are laid back (...sometimes for me since I've got a planner personality haha) and like to have a good time. I have been dreaming of having my wedding since I was a little girl. We decided to have our wedding in Penetanguishene, Ontario because my sister (passed away June 2017) is buried there and I'd love to be close to her as much possible.

Since I am such a planner, and I practically like have the wedding planned in my head...the thing is... Is it too early to start planning? How soon should we start sending out Save the Date, invitations etc - Your opinion would be appreciated.

I'm excccciiittteeedd! Can't you tell?! Smiley tongue

    No as we handed ours out in person to save on stamps.

    I sent my Save the Dates in July as well! Made the mistake of sending them too close to the date I think... lots of my guests thought they had missed the wedding (although my save the date said July 18, 2020).


    Did you have that problem with your Save the Dates? I was really surprised my guests were so confused.

    I’m also getting married July 18 2020. I sent my save the dates out in July of 2019 as people plan summer trips far in advance. I also have everything booked as things book up very quickly for summer weddings. I have my dress my brides maids ordered there’s going in January for suits.

    Nice! As much as it’s a relief I also feel like there’s so much of a gap...like I’m rethinking things I’ve chosen, or feel like I’m missing something 😂😂 I’m just impatient! 😂😂

    When the golfers tend to see a function going on they seem to drift away which is beneficial for you! - I had that worry too when I was booking but we have a late ceremony so no one will be allowed on the patio as it will be setup for the ceremony!

    I am super excited for it, not too nervous but that will probably change once the pictures start lol, We also have a video package so we get to shoot an engagement video, I think I am more nervous for that lol. We are doing some of the shooting at Fairy Lake in Newmarket where my FH proposed to me & Then we are heading to Scarborough Bluffs to finish all the rest!

    Any pointers or tips for the pictures? Also did you get your make up or hair done? Did you do just one outfit or multiple ?

    It is good! I am only worried about the amount of golfers that will be on the lower patio.. but the coordinator assures me it is fine - so fingers crossed.

    Oh my gosh! I did my engagement shoot last month and had a blast. I was super nervous to start but it ended up working out. Where are you having your photos taken?!

    Copper Creek is great. We fell in love with the course and knew we wanted to have our reception there!

    Did you really!? That's amazing! It's a beautiful Venue, and so awesome that you have access to the patio too!

    I have not created or ordered my save the dates yet as our engagement shoot is on Sunday! Praying the rain holds off of course! - The photographer said he would have a digital copy for us by the end of the following week so we could decide which ones to use on our save the dates!

    We went to see copper creek as well! Its absolutely beautiful!

    SOOO funnnny!!!

    I just booked my bridal shower at the Clubhouse on Monday!! That is actually so funny!

    I bought my dress back in February! I am anxiously waiting for it to come in - another 2-4 months.

    We are getting married at Copper Creek Golf Club in Kleinburg!

    I just got my save the date magnets in! Have you ordered your save the dates yet?!

    We also choose and booked July 18th 2020 - We will be getting married in Etobicoke, ON.

    I love the idea that you wanted to be closer with your sister. It's a beautiful idea!

    I have started planning like crazy already. A year flies by! I will be sending out my save the dates about a year in advance so anyone who has to travel out of town can make arrangements well in advance.

    I would be sending my Invitations about 3-4 months before the wedding date.

    I purchased my dress back in February! It takes 6-8 months to come in so I’m glad I ordered when I did!

    How far ahead are you all buying your dresses and such? I've started soft dress shopping but don't want to be too early or leave it too late I guess. We've seriously started planning this week and it's so exciting!

    Ahh! We got engaged March 20th 2019 and we have picked our date for July 18 2020. We are hoping to finalize our reception venue within the next couple of weeks! Just need to finalize the guest list. I started looking into things within days as I got so excited, and our wedding has taken so many different forms already as our planning gets more serious. It's daunting but fun!!

    We are July 18 2020.

    We put our deposit down this week and I am frantically starting the planning process.

    I am currently on mat leave and I would like to get as much done as possible before I go back to work.

    I am an organizational nut (bad habit from working in law ha ha!) so I too am already planning ahead!

    No not to early Trish. Most venues and photogal19 etc are booking into 2020. This way you can put money down as you get it and not have to pay it at the end all at once Smiley kiss

    Haha yeah. I cannot refrain myself and not do anything! I like the looks I get from people when they ask me when the date is...I'm like, I know!! Earlier I plan, the better! haha. We are paying for the wedding ourselves so we really gotta save up ahead.
