  I ordered one from exclusive weddings online. It was a little pricey but I got it personalized with my fiance's and my name & our wedding date on it.

  Also, my aunt got married about a year ago and she had a regualr 3 ring binder and tabs to keep all her stuff together.
  
  Good luck & congrats!

  I went to Barnes & Noble to check out wedding planners/books and was not impressed. The only books that looked decent were The Knot's Complete Guide to Weddings, and Mindy Weiss's The Wedding Book. After briefly browsing them, The Knot's looked better but Mindy Weiss's had slightly better reviews so I ordered that one on Amazon. I'll probably get The Knot one too.

  Denise & Alan Fields' "Bridal Bargains" book is great too, even if you aren't on a budget. There are a lot of helpful tips in it. http://www.amazon.com/Bridal-Bargains-Throwing-Fantastic-Realistic/dp/1889392391
  

  
  

  The Knot has checklist-only books if you want that sort of thing. I ended up just buying a cute binder at Target. I keep most of my favorite pictures organized on my laptop or Pinterest. 

  
  

  Real Simple (the magazine) has some checklists you can download on their website. I think Martha Stewart weddings might as well. 

  
  

  Hope that helps!

  I used the one from Target and it was awesome.

  I just bought a notebook with lined paper in it. It has a pretty design on the front. I had already decided I was doing my wedding my way, so pre-set check lists would likely not apply to me. The notebook is great though. The original guest list is on the first couple of pages, mailing addresses, budget, ideas. I took the notebook to every meeting I had with vendors and such, and recorded notes. That way everything is all together and its an easy reference. And its small enough that It can fit in my purse so I can always have it with me if a new idea strikes!
