I think the very first thing you need to decide is where you`re going to have it -- that will determine the type of menu & alcohol selections, number of people you can invite & greatly affect your budget. Another important thing to decide is your colors. Since you have to do a lot over the phone, put various people in charge of things. Maybe your maid of honor can take care of looking for nice centerpieces and your mom and take care of favors. I`ve found most people are more than willing to help, the trick is not getting so obsessed about everything being perfect and trusting them to make a good decision.

Good luck & Have a great wedding!
