How To Set Up And Use A Wedding Planning Binder As Effectively As Possible

By Gary Miller


Making decisions to plan an upcoming wedding is unavoidable. Even if you work with a professional event planner you will need to okay many different options and keep track of things as they are finalized. If you are doing the work yourself there will be even more information that will need to be recorded. Here are some tips that you can use to set up a wedding planning binder so that you are as organized and on track as possible.

While some brides like the idea of using a computer program or app to plan their wedding this is not always a good idea. A book is easy to bring with you to different locations and can be a great memento to look at once your big day has come and gone. If you like the idea of using an app in addition to your binder there is no reason why you cannot do so. Just make sure that you are transferring all of the information from one area to another so that you do not have different sets of information to refer back to.

While some brides want to use a generic day planner or a book that has a set number of pages this may not be a great option for planning a wedding. If you want to use your planner effectively, you may want to make sure that you can add extra pages in certain sections. This is especially true if you are planning an event that has a large guest list or if there are many different activities and events happening during your wedding celebration.

Make sure that your planner is divided into separate sections. Most will have separate areas for ceremony information, a place to write down details on what different members of the wedding party are wearing and information about your reception as well. If you can, take a look at what is included in different sections so that you can make sure there is a place to record important information.

A good planner will have areas where you can store pieces of paper that relate to your big day. For example, some will have clear sheets where you can store business cards. These are great because it will allow you to see contact information and other details without putting them in and out of your planner. Sleeves that hold signed contracts and receipts are also very handy.

While you may like the idea of building a planning binder yourself other brides may want a binder that has the basic design already in place. If you want one like this, you can often find them in craft supply stores or shops that are dedicated to the wedding industry.

There are now templates available online that can be used to print your own pages. Look for a variety of different styles. Graph sheets will be good as they can help you design layouts for receptions or other similar events. Budgeting sheets will help you keep track of your money and can help keep you from overspending.

Once you have chosen your planner and have it set up the way you want you will be amazed at how easy it will be to stay organized. That way, you can concentrate on planning your celebration without having to worry about forgetting a single detail or losing track of a single receipt.
