How do you stay Organized?

I am highly organized so I use the checklists and guest list/vendor info on wedding wire, plus I have spreadsheets of my checklists organized by category and timing so I can sort at any time. I have an budget/costing spreadsheet. Plus I have even created recipe checklists for my ingredients and how much to make. Store it on google docs so you can use it on any of your devices.

I also have a binder for myself with tons of samples but I made a much smaller one for my fiance to glance at when he is in the mood to give feedback. They are organized by category and colour coded for like items.

Plus pinterest I have one board for wedding with several other boards where I store my ideas, wants, and going to do.

I used the wedding wire checklist, as well as a paper planner (not a wedding planning binder!) to keep track of stuff. During the 2 weeks leading up, I also had reminders on my phone to remind me to do all the things!

Ways that I kept organized were

1. WW Checklist for most of the things TO DO

2. WW Budget to help easily calculate the amount spent

3. Word program to save all my documents put as expenses, timeline, vendors info and purchases made.

These are stored on a flash drive to go back and print out or look over whenever anyone needs help with it or needing assistance in planning.

I liked using the WW checklist - but I had to update it to reflect actual timelines Started planning over a year ahead and then some things like alterations we did closer to the wedding because I'm not going to do that a whole month of 2 before!

I actually googled many man lists online and tailored my own list in word. as i was meeting with vendors and asking questions if they asked me for something i would add it to my list

I use WW's checklist and have a master Excel checklist with multiple sub-pages and it's working well so far. We haven't had many appointments yet and the ones we've had just went on our calendar on the fridge but once we get closer to the date I may have to put things in my phone or carry around a notebook so I don't forget them.

I have a master excel spreadsheet with many tabs and the WW checklist. Seems to be working out well so far!

I have a binder, with an index complete with tabs. My index contains a next steps table too so I always know what's upcoming - my FH's family literally laughs at me... I planned our Europe trip a few years ago on an excel spreadsheet so we knew each day what we were doing at what time and people were just dying of laughter.

So, i love my wedding binder. My FH's uncle told my parents to hide it from me to see if I would freak out and my mother calmly replied "she has it all backed up on her computer, so it would not even matter!".

So I like to think I'm pretty organized and prepared. My FH and I have a joint calendar on our phones we can update it with appointments and accept or decline them which is super helpful also!
