Do I have a graduation party and a wedding in the same month?

I would say since the wedding and the graduation are so close, why not just invite close friends to the graduation or grad party, you don't have to invite the world, save that for the wedding, your close friends will probably just give you something small for the graduation a book or something like that, and its almost useless to ask them not to. Congrats on both and good luck.

Why not head over to the Justice of the Peace and get married now...then plan a BBQ reception party in a couple months.\n\nYou will be less stressed, and the cost of a BBQ reception is way less than a formal wedding, and a LOT more fun!

No not at all. You can get married there then go out and celebrate with family and friends. Ask your family and friends if everybody would donate a dish and drinks. Figure out a nice place to celebrate. Good luck.

I wouldn't think so.  I got married last July 05 to be on my fiance's health insurance due to getting cut off from my mother's health insurance due to turning 24 yrs old.  We're having another Wedding ceremony in May 06 with our immediate family members since they weren't invited to our Marriage License ceremony (down at the Clerks Office/Courthouse) in July.

it depends on how big its going to be and how elaborate you want it. some people start planning their weddings a year or more in advance. but if you want a more casual type of wedding, then maybe a few months before.

As long as your excited about being married you have nothing to worry about. Try focusing on your wedding as a party instead of a "wedding." Think of it as a great time that you get to spend with friends and family, dancing, eating and having fun. That way, the actual "wedding" won't seem as tedious to you.

Well that all depends on if you want your family and friends there. Ask yourselves these questions... \n1. Can we afford to pay for our friends and family to come?\n2. Can our friends and family afford to pay to come to our wedding?\n3. Do I REALLY want to get married somewhere else?\n4. Should we just elope and have a reception for everyone when we get home?\n\nIf that is what you want than go ahead and do it. Just explain to everyone why you want to do it. You only get married once and you should have it the way you want so you always remember this special time.

It is going to be very expensive to have such a big wedding. You need to figure out the cost and make sure you get the money in plenty of time. You don't want to get stuck with huge expenses.

Announcements merely tell everyone what is going on (grad, wedding etc).  An invitation actually invites someone to share in the day or event with you.  Example-\n\nAnnouncement-  Sue and Joe will be married Mon the 26th at 3pm at St. Mark Cathedral\n\nInvitation-  You are invited to help celebrate the wedding of Sue and Joe on Mon 26th at 3pm at St. Mark Cathedral.

Is it similar to a wedding ceremony? If so then just go by that. If it is different you could still use one of them. I think that is really nice.

Wait!!!!!!!!! You're in your last year and it'll take a year to plan the perfect wedding anyway! Girl, finish your edu-ma-cation for the love of....! Sorry if I'm being overly dramatic, but I transfered to be with my bf in my sophomore year, and though I went to a great second school, I had too many credits that didn't transfer and it set me back a year! :-( (And we never got married).

Start by deciding on a budget and who you want to invite.  Also start thinking about the kind of dress you want to wear.  There are tons of websites out there that are great at helping you plan.  I'm listing a few of my favourites.\n\nMost importantly, share every moment of your planning with you fiance.  It will be worth it in the end.  COMPROMISE is most important.  Have fun and CONGRATULATIONS!\n\nI'm getting married on July 1!  It's been a long and difficult journey but I'm enjoying every minute of planning my 2 weddings (1 Hindu, 1 Catholic!)

It would certainly be memorable, but if you want many of your friends and family to attend the ceremony you will have to consider their financial situations OR pay all their tickets yourself.  If you want to get married on a "holiday island", which is certainly a better option if you want the event to remain about you and your fiance and less about what your families think you should do, you could always go for a small ceremony and then you could have the big reception party for everyone when you got home.

Your wedding day is one of the most important events of your life.  Go formal no matter what time of the day it is.  Live it up, dress to kill. and have a great time.
