I think I asked before, but I can't find the discussion. So, if you made a DIY one would you care to share a picture of it. If not, can you explain what it looks like, what it holds, how it is organized, etc., I have been meaning to make up for a couple months, but I am going tomorrow to go buy the...

I think I asked before, but I can't find the discussion. So, if you made a DIY one would you care to share a picture of it. If not, can you explain what it looks like, what it holds, how it is organized, etc.,

I have been meaning to make up for a couple months, but I am going tomorrow to go buy the things I need. So, can I have some suggestions on what to purchase (I don't want to spend more than $30 and that's a lot to me- if I can make it for $10 please share!)

Quick Questionaire:

Is it in a 3 ring binder?

Do you use dividers and/or clear protectors for your contracts?

Is it color coded?

How many sections do you have in there (venue info/contract, photo contract, florist contract, HS/MUA contract, etc.,)?

Do/Did you have pictures of your inspiration dresses in there as well?

Pictures of florals, (centerpieces, ceremony decor, misc.)?

(CONT.)

    I love this one. FH bought it for me from Michaels. However, I see it is now available at Wal-mart. There are pockets in every section. There are plenty of tools for planning like seating charts and business cards. It allows plenty of room for information. If you happen to fill up any of the sections within your binder you can always go online and download extra pages. For example my wedding party is so large I filled up all of the information cards on them so I was able to download an extra template. There is a big zip bag in the back for whatever else you want. There is a great calendar and stickers in it as well. It is made by Gartner Studios if anyone is interested in it.

    I know mine is only $25 at Wal-mart. However, it is $30-$40 at Michaels but they have a 40% off coupon online or on the mobile app you can put towards it.

    Mine is a mess right now so I don't have much advice other than I have the same folder dividers as Monica whic I love because I can stash stuff there until I put it where it belongs. They also hold little stuff that collects. Another thing I have is a little pencil case that goes in the binder to hold pens (obviously) and post its and stuff.

    And this was me trying to use it last night but my dog was not happy about it.

    I love these ideas. I was just telling FH I needed one, and then was feeling silly that I truly want a binder to keep track of stuff... Because there are so many apps out there. I'm absorbing these ideas too... Thanks MrsChang for starting this post :-)

    Hmm... I DIY'ed an awesome one many months back... and all it has in it are flyers from places I visited. I never kept a paper planner so it makes sense that I didn't find the binder the most efficient for me. All the real organization is in my computer organized via folders, weddingwire & email folders.

    I have a plain 3-ring binder that I keep all my contracts, receipts and other wedding related stuff in.
