Re: How do you all organize.....

I pretty much have everything at home on the computer. Excel is great for address lists and guest lists/seating charts & rsvps. I have a folder for pics I rip out of magazines , contracts & business cards.

Re: How do you all organize.....

I have so many different ways of organizing!!

I have a box with those green hanging folders for all the stuff I pick up at shows or get in the mail. It's broken down by category: photography, limos, florists, etc.

I have a binder that's broken down the same way with the vendors I've chosen and there's a notepad in the back where I keep track of our budget.

I also have a bridal planner with the checklist of what we're supposed to be doing and when. That looks like a spiral notebook and is helpful bc it has a bookmark.

And then I have a pocket calendar that I carry in my purse for making appointments.

Not to mention the spreadsheets and lists I make on my computer!!

Re: How do you all organize.....

chris has everything - all recepits from deposits we left, any lists and whatnot. its all in a folder in his desk. my fmil gave me a wedding planner/binder for christmas 2 years ago, god knows where it is now. we pull out the folder when we need it, otherwise it stays in his drawer

Re: How do you all organize.....

I got one of those big accordian folders, but to be honest, I really didn't use it much. The contracts are all in a drawer in my house. I am not the most organized person.

Re: How do you all organize.....

I have an accordian file, and this thing I got from staples that has a note pad with lots of pocket folders and then it closes with a bungie cord. It also has a zippered pocket for business cards and pens. I keep all of the signed contracts in there. My organizational stuff is on the computer in a document I downloaded from bliss weddings. It is the mini wedding planner. I put all the contact info there. I also have an excel file with the addresses, gifts, thank yous and who has responded that they are attending.

Binder and Computer.

Re: How do you all organize.....

I have a big binder with a folder for each vendor and a folder for miscellaneous stuff.

Re: How do you all organize.....

I made one of those binders with the tabs and everything.. works well for me, could be alittle heavy at times especially since I carry it in my bag with me to work every day.. lol

Re: How do you all organize.....

My accordian file is my best friend! It has all of my quote sheets and contracts from vendors in the front.. all broken down by vendors. In the back are my 'wish' items.. like things I am hoping to get or ideas I am hoping to copy. I also bought a cute little organizer(daily planner) from Target. It's only 6X6 and I keep it with me always... it has all the numbers I need, contacts.. when we booked what.. etc. So thats all I have.. I only allow things that fit into either of these.. if they don't fit, they're thrown out! No more accumulating bridal 'junk'...

Re: How do you all organize.....

I have no system at all! I pretty much just have a pile in my room with the information from the vendors I have decided to use. It is next to my bed so when I get bored I like to look at it (I love the vendors I have chosen so it makes me happy)

The vendors I'm not using and the batrillion mailings I have received - that stuff is in a box in my closet.

Whatever I am currently working on is in a ripout notebook with a nice 'professional' looking thin casing (has spot for looseleaf papers and business cards).

Not very organized but is working out for me!

Re: How do you all organize.....

Right now, all of ideas, pics of dress, invites, etc are in this planner FSIL got me for Christmas. It's called the Anti-Bride's wedding planner. I like it because there are pockets everywhere. My Fox Hollow contract is in the big folder they gave us with the menu, etc. The rest of the contracts are with my important papers, etc.

Re: How do you all organize.....

Re: How do you all organize.....

I don't have that much stuff. I put all of the contracts in one folder, all of the bills in another folder. My invitation lists are on excel. I have a binder, but it was a waste of money. I just took a pad of paper with me to meetings. Most of the pictures I like are on my computer, not from magazines.

Re: How do you all organize.....

I have all my stuff in folders all organized

Re: How do you all organize.....

all my stuff is in an old book bag...just thrown in there next to my bed. I too, look thru it before I go to bed at night. (All my brides magazines are thrown in there too) If FH knew he would be annoyed cause he's so darn organized.

He's keeping all the important stuff, like the hall contract and photographer. He also has my ring insurance paperwork cause I'd lose it. That's why it's good when opposites attract!

So to answer your question; I don't organize. hahaha
