How to Find the Best Wedding Organizer
When on the hunt to find the best wedding organizer, consider the tasks that have to be done.
The perfect wedding organizer:
- Helps a bride-to-be organize her to-do list
- Guides the couple towards asking the right questions
- Helps secure the wedding details/contact information in one spot
- Helps keep things in a format where everything is readily accessible
- Is as portable as the bride needs it to be
Where to look for a Wedding Organizer:
Determine if you like the software version, or prefer a binder/book format for your wedding organizer. They each have their advantages. The computer version can accommodate swatches, samples, and any miscellaneous notes via scanning, with the added benefits of eliminating the need to cross out errors and speeding up all updates. However, a binder or notebook allows for immediate placement of objects, and is much lower maintenance. Honestly though, it comes down to personal preference.
There are ready made software programs and books that can be purchased directly from vendors for wedding organizing. The plus to the ready-made organizers is the massive amount of information they typically already contain. Most come with standard wedding checklists and tips for pulling off the perfect wedding, while attending to every detail imaginable. Visit bookstores, wedding vendors and search online to find the perfect wedding organizer. You can also perform an online search for the most up to date wedding planning software, if technology is your passion.
However, a bride-to-be can create a one-of-a-kind, do-it-herself organizer with a binder, or by using a spreadsheet program. With her own tools she doesn’t have to follow a specific format, and can move things around as needed. An office supply store can yield a binder, folders, envelopes, etc. and the bride can perform an online search to uncover the basic wedding worksheets to get started on her personalized organizer.
If working with a wedding consultant, he/she may have a book already assembled for new clients, or may provide brides-to-be customized printouts of their wedding checklists.
Whether computerized, traditional, customized, or handwritten, there are many ways to find the best wedding organizer for each bride. No matter the medium, be prepared to use a tool of some kind to keep wedding information organized and accessible.
