Stay Organized
With These Wedding Planning Tips
Index Cards
Use 3x5 or 4x6 index cards to keep track of your guests.
Keep them in an index box for easy access.
You can file them alphabetically by the guest's last name.
Each card can include:
The box will become a treasure. You have an up-to- date address book and you can use it to keep track of birthday
cards and such.
Notebook
Get a notebook and write everything down that has to do with your wedding plans. Phone numbers, decorating tips
you've heard, wedding vendor information. Keep this notebook with you always! Whenever you get a brainstorm or
question to ask a vendor, someone to add to the guest list: write it down.
Accordion Folder
Purchase an accordion folder with sections or notebook with file pockets. Label the sections (flowers, church, good
ideas, bridesmaids, etc.). Then, whenever you see an article or a picture of a bouquet that you love, tear it out and
insert it into whichever section it belongs
Calendar
Keep a wedding calendar. Include all of your appointments with vendors and deadlines required by your vendors (i.e.
payments due, menu selections, ordering deadlines, etc.). Be sure to include your self- imposed deadlines as well,
such as when to have invitations ready to mail.
