Imagine! A simple three ring binder that will serve as your wedding planner, hold all your wedding planning instruments and become a cherished family wedding keepsake. Sounds interesting?

Ruth used it and wrote the following:

WOW! My fiancé says that I am creative, but the truth is that I am a very disorganized person. Reading your article about the 3 ring wedding binder system, kept me on track. My fiancé and I, without a wedding coordinator, planned our dream wedding. It was indeed a dream wedding and went without a hitch. How can we thank you?

The Secret of the 3 ring wedding binder

It should not be a secret but it seems to be. We have interviewed quite a few brides and grooms, only to find out that most, no matter what their budget, couple wedding with fancy. Since it is so obvious and so simple, the majority never considered using a 3 ring binder when planning their weddings.

Using a 3 ring binder for your wedding planning, affords you an easy way to be organized keeping all your wedding information in one place. It also saves you money, time and aggravation. 3 ring binders can accommodate anyone as they are available with various spine widths from ½ an inch to 3 inches. Choose the one that is right for you.

It will eventually become a wedding keepsake. so,you may wish to purchase a 3 ring binder that has a top window for a pretty cover or your wedding picture.

In the folder, place top insert plastic sheet protectors to serve as pockets for all the wedding-related papers you’ve accumulated. You may wish to place a few business card holder pages in your binder, for fast access to contact information. Additionally, insert dividers and a 3 hole zippered pocket for pen, pencils, paper clips, etc…

Mark the divider tabs with the wedding related category such as: Bridal Gown, Ceremony Site, Reception Site, Catering, Photography etc…
Place the most active or most current in front, so that each topic will have a specific area in the binder allowing you quick referencing and retrieval.

Print helpful articles and insert them into the appropriate categories. You’ll be glad you did!

In addition to sections dedicated to vendors, professionals and service providers, you need to allocate sections to important aspects such as:

A comprehensive wedding checklist
