There is so much to do…how will I manage to organize everything?
A Binder. A Binder?
Yes. A Binder.
Ok – where do I get a binder from? You can make it?
Whoa.. Make it?
Yes – DIY!
Things I used:
1 – 1.5 inch Binder
2 – Inserts from Russell and Hazel (these inserts cover everything from Budget to Wedding time line to Vendor Contact Lists) http://www.russellandhazel.com/content/wedding-templates
3 – Section Dividers
4 – Time
I also found some pictures online and used them for the front cover, back cover and side outer inserts to make it pretty.
You could also go to a bookstore and buy one.. but who wants to do that???

I also bought one of my favorite mini 3 subject notebooks (costing under $3) to take with me to meetings with vendors, to dress shops and to meet with the wedding party… because no one wants to carry that big binder every where they go..

But if they do – I also got a $1 bag to carry everything and keep it all together.. because I’ll probably take the binder every where I go – but just break out my notebook when the time is right.

What are some of the ways you have found to stay organized?

I know the feeling, I would recommend a binder, an excel spreadsheet and lots of coffee!
The main thing is to enjoy every second of planning your big day!
