How are you organizing your plans and ideas?

Hi Jayla!

I actually have a couple of organizing books in play. I'm using my calendar book, plus my wedding wire app. I also have a binder with all my wedding plans in it. And it has a pocket that I keep all of my wedding contact in. I'm a stickler for being organized. I even have my binder color coded. Décor, vendors, attire, budget, extras!

I used google sheets for everything! Guest list, budget, to do list, etc

That's a great idea!! I am obsessed with all of the Google apps!

Wedding Wire + Pinterest = my organization tools ⚒

I have use the knot binder it has great info in it and helps me plan. I also hole punch contracts and communications with vendors and put them in the appropriate tab in the binder

I have a notebook and pinterest board and my WW and I have another Wedding planning app.

I like the idea of using a binder! Definitely keeps things organized and in a place that's super accessible!

I have a binder; a folder of subfolders saved on my computer; a memo on my phone for jotting quick notes to myself when I'm not home; and "must do" sticky notes on my desktop. Plus a copy of my major spreadsheets on my google drive (that my bridal party has viewing access but not editting rights to) and a FB group for people helping with planning and diy's. I find having the binder to keep my final decisions plus a few brain dump areas - especially one I can easily carry with me (phone) helps the most. Things dont go in the binder until they are finalized so I can see what I'm still trying to figure out and I can move around the digital files as I sort and compare them. The spreadsheets also do all my budget calculations for us so I dont have to worry about bad math.

I used to rely on Pinterest, but started pinning everything lol Now I utilize google sheets & my planner.

I have Pinterest, google sheets, and a notebook for contracts

I went ahead and purchased an Erin condren wedding planner! It works fine. I have always been a planner geek so it wasn’t anything new to me. I actually carry around a pencil case and everything!

Erin Condren makes amazing planners!! I didn't know she made one specifically for weddings!!!

I've had pinterest boards for ideas for YEARS. i love wedding wire, but i also have a spiral notebook because writing things out helps ease my mind. and I have a fancy wedding planner just like the ones my adopted mother gave to her other girls when they got engaged. I've got my bases covered

View Quoted Comment Yes they have plenty of note space and they actually have budget sheets, bridal party sheets, space for guest lists, tips and other cute pages. I definitely recommend it!

I have my wedding wire app, a wedding planner along with my personal planner!! Then I have a wedding planner as welll!! You can never be too organized .

Pinterest, started a binder, and track anything wedding related in my email with a subject line stating wedding like "wedding floral arrangement" or "wedding flower girl dress". Makes it super easy to track

I have a binder for contracts and such but I am really doing everything on excel!

Excel (like so much excel)

a binder (needs to be replaced with a bigger binder)

WeddingWire

The knot

and a begillion sticky notes.

I have purchased a couple different "wedding day planner" and they never work for me

I have a planner I ordered off of Amazon and it is a lifesaver! It has a place for me to track my budget, have all of my vendors and their contact info all in the same place as well as several pages for notes in the back. It also organizes what to do and accomplish according to months! For example there is a section for everything you need to get done 4 months out and that has been really helpful! I also have pinterest boards that help with the decoration part of it since I'm such a visual person it helps me a lot!
