you've got a couple of months still time, which about the same amount 
we had. first of all, there's nothing much you can do right now 
(except look for a place to have the wedding and look for a person to 
be the master of seremony and the person to make the food), but 
think. i mean plan everything ready so that there are no spurprises 
when it's time for action. and believe me, if you go through the 
program, there are like zillion things to be thought of.

think about these things:
1. do you want live music?
2. music on the background when people are eating, it's really good, 
makes people relaxed and talkable, when there's not terrible silence.
3. make a list about people you want to invite and then start 
dropping off (i assume you weren't planning for a huge wedding, 
right?). drop off the ones that get only slightely upset about it. DO 
NOT DROP CLOSE RELATIVES (half of my husbands relatives aren't 
speaking to him anymore..)
4. make map so that people have their places in tables. it's easiest 
for all. and when making the map, remember to place all divorced 
couple as far of each other, as possible :p
5. plan your wedding cake.
6. look for a suitable outfit for both of you.

etc.etc.etc.

there's really much thinking to do and on the list there are only a 
couple of things. anyway, most of all, start thinking about things 
now, and you'll be ready when it's time to act =)

and congrats once again =)
