What are you using to plan your wedding?

Quick question...

What're you all using to plan your wedding?

A Wedding Planner Book?
An actual Wedding Planner?
Scraps of paper?
Computer Software?
"I can manage all the details in this incredible brain o' mine"?

Re: What are you using to plan your wedding?

I used a combination of things. I read the wedding planner book and made notes there. My main resource was my free wedding planner from JCPenneys. It came with everything I needed. You can get a free one if you create a wedding registry with them and have at least 10-15 items on it. As my backup, I had a file folder on my PC with all the details as well.

I'm a married woman as of December 2, 2006.

I have a wedding planner that's taking care of most things, but I also have a notebook I'm writing things in like dates, times, things to do, etc....

Re: What are you using to plan your wedding?

I used the following

1. The knot guest list planner
2. Wedding Channel for our website ( should have used eweddings)
3. I bought small wedding planner from Borders that fit in my pocketbook. I jotted notes in it (did I spell that right?)
4. I printed and designed our invites.

Most of my research I did on the net. Didn't really rely on the wedding magazines they can get expensive.

We alread had an idea of what we wanted so all we had to do is finalize alot of things.

 I went out and brought a three ring binder and a three hole punch. In the binder I put the following:
o Tabs so that I could label sections
o Some sheet covers.
 Those were probably the best investment.

That's an interesting answer! What made you choose to use the Knot's guest list planner over WC's?

You can also use a thumb drive to download things you get off the net.
