My Wedding Binder....

MY Wedding Binder.......My brother suggested that I market this because it really makes your life easier when planning. I figured the least I could do is share it.

I bought the binder from russellandhazel.com. This was just the binder....a bit pricy but looks nice as a keepsake.

The Official CHECKLIST. I looked at a few online but needed to customize it to fit what I wanted to do before the big day....I don't know what I would have done without it.

Inserts / dividers with pockets. Great for holding my mailing labels and any coupons from the Bridal Fair....

Dividers....also from russelandhazel.com. I printed off sections that worked for me to stay organized. I included reception info, my hall contract and table layouts as well as the budget.

Sections were pretty important to me. I had my bridesmaid dress choices and flower girl as well as the runners up so we could see what we were deciding on. I also kept a list of all of the pricing, and codes from the bridal salon for easy reference. (As well as any websites where I found amazing deals.

My centrepiece choices...I kept a section for centrepieces that I liked as well as any other decorating ideas that I wanted to go with. (Way easier than trying to find them in a pile somewhere)..LOL

Worksheets....For hair, music (do not play lists), flowers, tux rentals, etc.....So helpful!

Appointments and to-do lists. I bought some stationary just for appointments and to-do lists to work within my sections so I didn't forget anything. To be honest, I didn't really use them much so the worksheets really do most of the work. I found they kept all of the information in one place and I followed them to the letter.

Official Guest List...I found a template that I really liked for the official guest list. It housed guest names, whether or not I have sent them save the dates or invitations as well as whether or not I had sent a thank you card, what they chose for dinner, and how many people as well as all of their contact info....Saved my life during the planning process!

Now I am not married yet, but this wedding binder really helps those that are planning and don't have a wedding planner. Not to mention it is a great keepsake!
