Create a wedding email and check it often

There are two primary benefits to having a wedding-specific email. First and foremost, this will help you keep all of your wedding-related emails organized and in one place. Second, once the wedding is over, you will not have promotional emails from vendors crowding your regular email inbox! Having a separate email is only useful if you check it frequently!

Keep all of your wedding information in one place

There are numerous approaches you could take here. I have come across some amazing hard copy wedding planning journal style books, but I strongly advise going digital. This enables you to easily edit or add information as your plans evolve. Google Docs is my preferred tool for this. This platform makes it simple to keep your information organized, the documents are easy to send out if you need to share any of the information, you can save all of your contracts into your Google Doc wedding folder, and you can invite your fiancé, bridal party, parents, planner, or anyone else to edit relevant documents .

Set a timeline for planning

Lay out the days/months/years you have to plan your wedding, and then divide your vendor searches and planning process into smaller, more manageable timeframes. Consider what will be happening in your personal life during this time, and base your planning on that! Mapping out your “plan of attack” for wedding planning will help you feel confident that you are making progress, keep track of your to-do list, and (hopefully) make the entire wedding planning process more enjoyable!!

Draft a budget outline

I may be a little budget obsessed, but there is a good reason for it! Budget is essential! Not-so-fun fact: I once had a friend go over budget by $60,000. That was a 200% increase over their initial budget. So, how did it happen? The budget was not tracked or accurately assessed before vendors were booked. To avoid this situation, create a full budget breakdown before booking any vendors. Do some research to ensure that your estimates are correct, and allocate funds to the things you value the most.

Create a pinterest board(S)

Wedding planning has been a lot of fun since the introduction of Pinterest. There is a world of inspiration out there, waiting for you to discover it. While scrolling through the millions of inspirational images, your perspective may shift, and that is fine! As your vision shifts, remove pins that are no longer inspiring you. If you like something about a photograph, make a note of exactly what it is that makes you want to incorporate it into your wedding.

Keep a list of booked vendors

Have all of your basic vendor information on one page so you can find it quickly instead of having to sift through contracts. You can format this however best suits you, but it is extremely useful to include the following information for each vendor all compiled in one document:

• Service being provided
• Company Name
• Contact person’s name
• Contact information, including email and phone number.
• The number of hours booked (start and end times as soon as known!)
• Payment due dates, preferred payment method, and remaining balance

If they require a vendor meal and any dietary restrictions (usually your planner/coordination team, photographer, videographer, DJ/musician, and anyone else who will be onsite for more than 5 hours).

Make lists

Lists are your best friend. Prepare a list of everything. Your extensive to-do list, smaller to-do list, wedding vendor research information, style inspiration, and so on. Lists are useful because they allow you to track your progress and remember all of the details that you have worked on or plan to work on.

Build a wedding website

This will save you a great deal of money. WORK. A wedding website will do a lot of the planning for you. Create a registry on the website to help you keep track of gifts. You can even keep track of who you have already sent thank you notes to! Guests should RSVP on the website so that they can be easily tracked. Provide relevant wedding information and updates to avoid having 50 guests call with the same question. A wedding website can be a very useful resource.

Send thank you cards as you recieve gifts

Stay organized and save time by writing thank you cards as you receive gifts. It is easier to track this if you have a wedding website, but even if you are going a less technical route, make sure to list the gifts you have received, immediately send a thank you, and track the thank yous once they have been sent.
