How are you staying organized?

Let's talk organization! Wedding planning is no joke, and probably all of us have other things like jobs and school and responsibilities they take up a good chunk of our time. What methods are you using to stay on top of the planning? I have a wedding notebook that I use to keep all of my lists and brainstorming in one place, and I use the checklist feature here. However, I am a visual person and I saw someone else on here post a picture of a project poster board she had made and absolutely loved that idea. (Thank you, whomever you were!!) I started mine last night and I already love having that visual reminder!

    EXCEL! Lol. While I have down time at work I update, edit and highlight in different colors for different category's. I also have a planner that I write down everything as well. It's hard to stay organized in a time like this. But, I am really trying lol

    Same here. I am just nervous I am going to forget one thing, and it's going to throw everything off.


    Ahhhh, wedding bliss. It's amazing. LOL

    I just printed up a wedding To-Do list and put it on the fridge. As things get done, we marked them off. For the guest list, we have an excel sheet. Also utilizing the timeline and planning options on this app have helped a lot.

    Nice! That's how one of my close friends was when planning her wedding. Spreadsheets are definitely helpful!

    I have random notes every place I go. My desk at work, my purse, my car, my FH's car... I found one in the couch the other day.
    I have a few spreadsheets made up, just all empty 😭

    I'm using The Knot checklist.
    I also have just a regular calendar planner that I have a list of Vendors. Costs. Deposits. Balance Due. And Balance Due Date.

    It also has a list of expenses for the homebuying process we are currently going thru.

    There is also a margin, so I list everything I want to get done for the wedding each month in the margin and check it off as I go.

    The WW checklist definitely keeps me on track, but I keep a planner with due dates and appointment, etc. I also have a binder for all of our contracts and receipts.
