First thing you'll probably want to decide is your budget, who's paying for what, and how many people you'll want to invite (whether it's 50 or 450!!)
The two most crucial things to consider are the coordination of dates that are available at the church and any potential reception venues. That ultimately will determine what date you and your future "honey" will choose. If you're not getting married in a church then you'll have it a little easier time.
Take your Mother and/or FMIL or one of your close G/Fs and check out a reception venues. Most will want you to call ahead and make an appt to view the facility.
After I booked the date at my church and my reception everything else pretty much fell into place. I highly recommend signing up on TheKnot.com. You can track your guestlist there and they'll give month-to-month to do list so you can keep track of things!!!
Hope that helps. Congratulations!!!

Congratulations on the engagement. Honestly, I'd advise not getting help on Greekchat or message boards. Talk to friends, your fiancee, and just figure out what works best for you.
For what its worth I was married on the hottest days of the year in Boston, and it all worked out ok (although my groomsmen hit the open bar with some gusto when we were done; they probably would have done that anyway, though).

Word to this. Do not ask for advice here. Also do not ask for advice on theknot.com. From what I've heard, bridezillas abound.

I did not say that she should get "advice" on TheKnot.com. I was advising that she use their wedding tracker as a means of keeping track of her wedding planning. This information is not shared with other members of TheKnot.com and is password protected so that the bride or groom or wedding planner can have access... not just any random Bridezilla. Just for clarification.

Why can't I ask the many GC members who are recently engaged, recently married, etc for advice? I don't have to take all of it. But it is nice to know what others have learned during wedding planning.
Thanks Rita. I am on theknot.com, but am always looking for advice where I can get it.

For clarification, I didn't read your post and had no idea you told her to go there. So unknot your panties please.
