Top Tips For Using A Wedding Planning Binder To Stay Organized

By Gary Miller


If you are just starting planning your wedding, you may be feeling overwhelmed by all of the decisions you have to make. A wedding planning binder or other planner can help you stay on track, keep tabs on your budget, and ensure that you do not overlook a single detail. Using a planner isn't something that everyone is used to, however. If you want to use one of these helpful tools, here are some top tips that will make sure you do so as effectively as possibly.

One thing to think about is whether a printed binder or an electronic version will be of more use to you. There are advantages to a paper planner that you may not be able to find with a planning program. You may find it easier to visualize things like reception layouts or other diagrams if you are looking at a paper diagram. Another is that it is easier to store papers that you may get from suppliers in a binder than it would be in a computer app or program.

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.

Some people do not find a binder that they like. Instead, they use one of the many printable templates that can be found online. If you are thinking about printing out pages make sure that you choose layouts that cover the topics you need and that have enough space that you can fill in all of the pertinent details.

Staying organized isn't hard once you have the right planner. Don't be afraid to change things around and you will be able to make your book your own and then all of the information you need to keep your big day running smoothly will be right where you can find it easily.
