The Planning Binder

Wedding Binder

While every wedding begins with a twinkle in a bride's eye, it comes into being with the help of a wedding binder. Although there are a ton of internet apps and computer programs to make planning a breeze (we especially love the Knot's checklist and Pinterest), nothing quite beats a binder. This is especially essential for contracts and other forms of paperwork.

To make your binder, you'll need:

  • 1 2-inch binder (we decided that 1 was too thin, and 3 may be overambitious for those doing most of your planning online)

  • binder dividers

  • clear cellophane folders (this is easier than hole-punching the papers)

  • sticky notes

    Here are some suggestions for dividers:

  • Venue & Catering

  • Floral (the bouquet, centerpieces, boutennieres, etc.)

  • Photography & Videography (includes shots to take)

  • Bridal Gown & wedding party attire

  • Transportation (maps, routes, getaway options)

  • Ceremony/Officiant(s)

  • Honeymoon

  • Guest list

  • Gift registry

  • Stationary (samples, examples)

    If you do much of your planning on the computer, you can print out a new copy each time you make significant updates. Every month, clean out your binder and remove things that no longer matter.
