Re: Planning Binder
I made my own. I picked up a binder at staples and some dividers and got to work. Now it's really coming together. It has all my inspiration pics as well as copies of all my receipts, contracts, and payment schedules.

I made my own. Im big on organization, and it was easier for me to have one exactly how i wanted it. i brought the binder and dividers at staples, and it cost me less then 10 bucks.
I did the same thing. One thing is you make your own and use sheet protectors. I bought dividers that didn't stick out farther than my sheet protectors at first! I had to go back and buy the sheet protectors with tabs attached so that I could see the different sections.
I like making your own because you can include what is important to you and leave out what isn't.
HTH and happy planning!

Re: Planning Binder
If you like the planners but want to make your own a good way to do both is the downloadable wedding guides. That is actually exactly what I´m doing now. Its all the pages you would find in your typical wedding planner. They´re free. You just download the file, print out the pages and stick them in a binder.
I´m in the process of figuring out which one I like. I´ve found three so far.

Re: Planning Binder
These are the three
edmontonweddingguide.com
elegala.com
pashweddings.com
The pashweddings one seems the most complete (at a quick glance) because it even has a questionaire of things you should talk with FH about before the wedding to make sure you are on the same page. And it has a list of questions to ask vendors with a spake right next to it for up to three vendors so you can record your answers and then compare.
the edmonton one is more of a pain to download. You have to do each chapter separate and it doesn´t seem to be complete.
But all of them have something I like that the others don´t. Ithink I will mix and match and make my own personalized one.

If you do a registry at JCPenney they send you a link to a coupon that you can print out and bring to JCPenney and you can get a free planner from customer service. I did that just to get the planner and never finished my registry lol.
i was going to say this... that the book i got and i def does the job and it's FREE
