Whether you're hosting a formal sit-down for 200 guests or a laid-back beach celebration for 20, timing can make or break your big day.
Tip of the Day: "So many savvy couples want to do all the planning on their own (which is awesome), but then get stressed out about making sure everything is executed flawlessly on the big day. Hiring a day-of coordinator can be the best investment you make for your wedding," says Carla Friday of Details Made Simple in Westfield, NJ. They'll handle all the details, manage vendors, set up and style your wedding, finish any last-minute tasks and solve any issues that may arise, giving you priceless peace of mind.

Tip of the Day: "We all love champagne, but limiting the reception toast to just the bride and groom can save a chunk of cash. With an average guest list of 140, you would save approximately $420 by not having a reception-wide toast," says Chris Easter, groom-centric wedding and etiquette expert, co-founder of TheManRegistry.com.

Tip of the Day: Start the process of booking airfare for your honeymoon six to eight months before departure. Flights can be the most difficult — and expensive — to switch, which is why having dates and hotels mapped out is key.
Booking online is by far the most economical way to go. For carrier comparisons and real-time price fluctuations go to Google Flights. This relatively new online and mobile tool also gives various date and airport options based on price. Reservations are made directly with the airlines so you can still use your miles and other rewards.

Tip of the Day: Break up your wedding to-do lists by date. "Having smaller lists will serve you well with such a big undertaking. Get out a calendar and work backwards from your wedding date, filling in deadlines for all your must-do tasks. Then create daily or weekly to-do lists for yourself. That way, you have smaller, more manageable lists instead of one big, scary ongoing one," says Paula Rizzo, founder of the productivity site ListProducer.com.
