I just bought

a planner and a folder...and post its....I never thought Id be so excited lol

I bought one of those big $25 wedding organizers and figured out as soon as it fell apart that even though there is some great advice in there it wasnt worth the $25 I spent on it.

Tonight walking through the office section with DF to get things he needed for his new office I found this cheap $3 project organizer and Im in love already. My first 10 pages Ive dedicated to my payment organizer the pages following Im starting to write things down like bridal parties, appointments, advice, deals etc....

My post its make life easier bc Im not writing things down on the sides and tops of the page now, instead my pages are going to be covered in post its lol. But still at least Ill be able to read the pages.

Then I bought a black 8 pocket organizer where im keeping all our paperwork.

So for $9 I bought everything in that stupid big planning book, it wont fall apart, and its so much easier to carry with me when I need to go places....hmmm lol

Nice purchases!  I made my own organizer, too.  I love that I can put things however I want.

I also included a few of those plastic holder thingys for business cards (I've gotten soooo many!) and printed off TK's checklist so I can keep track of how that's progressing, too.

Have fun organizing!!!

great idea! i have been looking at planners but here (in vancouver) they are all likek 40$ or more and i didnt want to spend that kind of money! so i got some baseball card protectors and some clear sheets that hold papers and put it all in a binder....so now i have all my info and reciepts and stuff in a clear sleve and any business cards in the card protectors. Since i already had the binder and the sleeves it cost me 1$ for 4 card protector sheets!

I purchased a 1" binder and a package of 8-tab dividers from Staples a few months ago.  I used Russel and Hazel's organizing pages and started to put my binder together.

I'm waiting for the back to school sales this late summer to get a better notebook.  It's thick enough as it is!

Here is a link to the organization pages I printed:

I love organizing.. but surprisingly,  never use my big wedding organizer, because it really doesn't help much! I have my own binder that I use more often.

nice

I might have to invest in something like that soon.  Folders just aren't cutting it for me anymore, too many papers on everything.

That's awesome!  I love organizing all my wedding stuff.  So far my store bought wedding planner is working but I see it falling apart very soon.  lol.  It's starting to bust at the seams.
