How to Keep Myself Organized

loveislouder

Hey everyone, Now that our wedding is in April I'm kicking myself into high gear. I have so many ideas, quotes from people, stuff like that and I want to keep it all together. So what did you guys to? Buy a wedding book, keep a note book, a binder? What worked for you. Thanks! Side note: went to a wedding last night... Ill let you know how that played out later today, hopefully if not tomorrow.

My parents paid for most of the wedding and lived in an island and them in the states..  My super-planner sister (and MOH) helped with some stuff too ( in a different state from mom and dad)  

I used google docs to organize.  Mom, sister and I all had access to the spreadsheets.

I have a binder, google docs file, and a drawer in my cabinet for wedding info. That way it is all neatly filed and organized for whenever I need to find something. I'm very OCD about things though. It would drive me insane if I didn't have things neatly filed and categorized. Lol

I just used a regular binder.

Google docs and a folder to hold contracts.

A folder in my email and an Excel spreadsheet. We communicated with all vendors by email, which made keeping track of things really easy.

Getting married in April. FI and I are using Dropbox, spreadsheets, and eventually a binder for papers.

I didn't even have a binder. I just used spreadsheets to keep track of our guest list, the knot month-by-month calendar as a guide and word docs to keep track of contact info for vendors. Our wedding was really simple though.

Google docs, genius scan, and a folder has been working for me so far.

I put together a binder using this blog post: http://justlovelykatherine.blogspot.ca/2012/06/www-how-to-put-together-wedding.html

Super helpful. I especially like having the clear zippered sections. All of my receipts or any business cards I come across go in the folder and they're nice and handy. 

I also use an excel spreadsheet for budgeting and another for guest list. I just searched excel templates and altered them until they worked for me.

Make a binder! 

I also created a wedding email address for all wedding-related correspondences.

I made a binder and use Google Docs.

I have a binder, three Excel sheets, and a folder in my email. It's working well so far.

Google docs is really helpful. I had a spreadsheet with columns indicating names, addresses, whether their invite was sent, what their rsvp was, what song they picked, and what gift they sent and whether I sent a TY yet. It was really nice to have FI be able to edit it as well. 

There's also a planner called an uncalendar that I like a thousand times better than any other planner I've used (or didn't use, because I hate them and I am not a lists sort of person). 

Then a folder with contracts that I kept on top of the fridge. 

For all the flack it gets, pinterest was helpful for keeping track of vendors and ideas I was interested in.
