Important tips:

• Most of the wedding professionals you choose should be booked at this time. Please keep in mind that you will need to book a caterer if the reception site does not provide this service. It is a good idea to bring a small notepad with important details and questions you have written down to discuss when meeting with each professional. Bring bridal magazines or clip outs of your favorite dresses when visiting bridal salons
  
• This is also a wonderful time for you and your fiancé to register for wedding gifts. Registering for gifts should be fun and hassle free.
