my RH gave us a binder when we went to look there and i just stuck everything else in it. Now i got all my contracts together in one folder
i also made a spreadsheet on excel that has the vendor, contact person, phone number, the deposit we left and how much we owe - its easy for me to have everything on one page and it only took about 10 minutes to do

I have the Martha Stewart one, and I love it.

Hey FH name twin..

Can I find the Martha Stuart Planner at Borders as well?

You sure can FH name twin.

I got mine at Barnes and Noble, but I've seen them everywhere. I thought it was really helpful -- it has a plastic sheet that holds business cards, a couple of plastic zip up pouches that can hold loose ends, samples, etc. It's great!

I love my binder. It is simple and works for me. I printed a calender, have dividers for all my ventors. It is great.

I bought a 3 ring binder and made categories and bought a pocket w/ velcro (Target) for receipts, post cards, etc. and I have a plastic business card holder (3 ring) as well. FM for categories. HTH I also got a free State Farm binder & NEVER used it, lol.

Re: Do any of you lovely ladies have a wedding planner/binder?

I made my own. I bought a regular 3 ring binder and got dividers for it. I found a website that gave me categories to use. I also bought plastick buisness card holders to put in it. My MOH printed me a page w/ our monogram on it to put on the front of it. I must say though that I don't use it that often.

Honestly, my MOH made me one and it was a life saver. She just took a reg. Binder and made dividers for each vendor.

Thats all I did...no need to buy one

Do you have an account with theknot.com? They send you a really pretty binder for free! I got mine a couple of months after I joined..

A very simple little notebook-I can rip out papers when I don't need them anymore! Some of those other ones were way to complicated for me. I also use the check list on this site-it helps to keep me organized.
