Wedding Planning Book To Help You Plan Your Wedding

After you say these two simple words, “I do”, a hive of activity begins that is new to you and you suddenly find yourself responsible for meeting the challenge always dreamed of, your wedding. At the beginning of organizing this truly major event, you may be discovering that others too, have been dreaming about it, people like your mother and father, or your sister, even your grandmother and some of your friends will have their own ideas and recommendations for getting the wedding you deserve.

Because the dynamics of your family are changing, they all want to be involved. A wedding planning book, compiled by you, is a great place to keep all the information you will acquire whilst organizing your wedding.

A large ring binder can be divided into the sections you need, like, Budgets, Reception, Ceremony, Entertainment, Transport, Rehearsal Photography, Jewelry, Clothes and Accessories, Flowers, Gifts, Invitations, Accommodation, and Honeymoon. A Miscellaneous section at the back can be where you keep all the recommendations and ideas you receive.

Once you have divided the sections accordingly, design a simple template that you can print off blanks from, one that will do each category. An easy template for your wedding planning book, for example, would be one that has five columns running down, with lines across every five lines.

Each column, from left to right, should be titled, Item, Budget, Actual Cost, Where Purchased, with a slightly wider column at the right, headed Notes. Print off one for each section of your book, punch hole it, and pop it into its relevant section.

Each of your section/category topics will require several items to be listed, with sub topics that you should also list on the forms that you have made. You can fill in the relevant rows in your wedding planning book when you complete a purchase.

For example, in the Transport section form in your book, under item your list might be, Bride/Groom Limo, under that Wedding Party Limo, then Family Limo, Guest Limo, and Going Away Limo etc. Keep these records for everything and you can’t go wrong.
