Wedding Planning: Getting Organized

What should you do next? Start now and get organized!
Organization is the key to a stress free wedding. By keeping all of your wedding ideas, contracts, vendor information, and timelines in a portable format will reduce the amount of stress on your wedding day, I promise.

It is very simple, go to your local office supply store today and purchase a binder, accordion filer, or some manageable filing system. You can also purchase tab dividers or labels to organize your filing system and pouches to store business cards or receipts.

Include these sections and you can add more as you go:
-To Do Calendar / Checklist
-Wedding Planning Budget List
-Wedding Attire
-Bridal Shop Information
-Color Swatches
-Ceremony (Including clergy, music, transportation)
-Vendors & Contracts
-Order of Ceremony
-Reception (music, caterer, cake, seating arrangements, rentals)
-Vendors & Contracts
-Timeline of Reception (first dance, cutting of the cake, etc.)
-Flowers / Decorations
-Invitations, Stationery, Wedding Program
-Gifts
-Parties (engagement party, rehearsal dinner, bride’s maid luncheon, etc.)
-Honeymoon

There are so many choices of fun stationery, ribbons, stickers and colors that you can use to accessorize your “organizer”. Which ever type of organizer you choose to use the goal is to stay organized and find a system that works best for you.
