Organizing is a Good Thing |

My friends think I’m crazy when it comes to organizing some things. But it’s a trait I don’t think I will ever try to change. So as expected, I try to organize my wedding planning as much as I can. Here’s a glimpse of how I organize my planning:
Wedding Spreadsheet:
- MS Excel file
- printed and filed in a binder
- Vendor questionnaires and comparisons
- Budget and Expenses
- Guest List
- Planning Time-line and Checklist
- Shopping and Packing Checklist
- Week-of and Day-of Time-line
- Ceremony and Reception Layout
- Vendor packets (details each vendor need to know)
Wedding-Files Folder:
- Saved correspondence (including emails)
- Designs
- Important info about the wedding
- Resources
Wedding-Photos Folder:
- Inspiration Photos
- Photos of items I plan/want to buy
- Photos taken during planning
Wedding Bookmark Folder:
- Internet Explorer and Firefox
- Important sites
Calendar:
- Yahoo! Calendar and MS Outlook
- Time-line and due dates with alarm if necessary
Contacts/Address Book:
- Yahoo! Contacts
- Wedding vendors
- Wedding friends and consultants
Notes:
- MS Outlook
- Random Ideas
- To Do List
All the above are saved or backed-up in my computer. Every night, I sync my computer and phone so I can access everything on the go and update them if necessary. All contracts, brochures, receipts, and other papers are filed in a binder.
If you don’t want to set up your own wedding organization, I suggest using the online Weddingwire Planner. It is very intuitive and easy. It also comes with an iPhone app.
How do you organize your wedding plans?

Wow! That is awesome. I love how you keep everything so organized. Do you think you could share a template of your excel sheet? I would like to post that on our blog, if it’d be ok with you (of course I would link back to this entry)

Browne… thank you
. I will work on the template and post it here when it’s ready.
