What do I do next?

Ok, so you have the ring, now what? Did you set a date yet? How about a budget? Those are extremely important and a MUST have. If you fail to do so you may spend more than you would ever imagine on spending on a wedding. 

          Now the date is set and you have a budget let's get to the fun stuff, do you want to send out save a dates? How about build a wedding website so that your guest can get the up-to-the minute info. You can post the venue location and direction, lodging information and also share pictures with your guest. I added a free link to The Knot , http://uw.theknot.com/admin/choosedesign/ ,  also The Wedding Wire http://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-websites.html.
For Save A Dates I recommend The Wedding Paper Divas, Walgreen's, C.V.S and Costco. Price out the cards before ordering anywhere, and before you print a large amount ask if you can get a sample so you are not stuck with something you don't like. If you are going to add pictures to your save a date you can either hire a photographer or have a friend take the pictures.
