The ULTIMATE Wedding Planner & Guide - Everything the happy couple needs to plan their wedding with EASE!

Wedding Ideas
Now that you are engaged it is important to write down every idea you and your future spouse have in mind for the big day. Ideas from BOTH of you are important. Simply follow our guide to help you with some of the basics.

Wedding Guest List
When planning my wedding I typed up my entire guest list with little check boxes beside each name and also included the person’s phone number and/or email address. Once I got an RSVP card back I checked the person’s name. I also included a space for “Number Attending/Not Attending”. Those that didn’t reply I simply referred to my list and sent them an email or gave them a quick call. I found this very handy when it came to crunch time. It also helps with seating charts (if you use one) for the reception and helps with the final count for your caterer. You won’t have to save every single RSVP card or risk losing one or two by the time the final count is due.

Budget and Checklist
Below you will find everything I could think of for your wedding. Once you have gotten that item just check it off the list. The items that you don’t use/need just cross off or leave blank. I have left spaces for notes and some spaces to add items in that I may have forgotten. Some items may require shipping costs, so be sure to add that extra little bit to cover that. You should also add in extra for Tips (for caterer, DJ, etc) where applicable as well.

Contact List
You can save all important phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses and websites in this area. Print them out the day before your wedding and put them in your Emergency Kit.

Music for the Ceremony & Reception
In this section I have listed some important times that you will need special music for. Simply type in the song of your choice with the artist (if applicable) and when your Band/DJ asks for these all you have to do is print it out and give it to them.

Bride’s Emergency Kit Checklist
I hate to be the one that tells you this, but, things can happen on your special day that we just don’t want to admit could happen. A snag in your nylons, chip in your nail polish, eyeliner ran because Grandma Sophie made you cry… anything! Every bride needs a little emergency kit to take along with them the day of the wedding. All these items can be packed in a separate small bag and tag it “Emergency Kit” that way if something does happen you can tell your maid of honor to grab the Emergency Kit and all will be right in the world again.

Questionnaires and Ratings
I have compiled a list of questions for Caterers, Photographers, Videographers, Florists, etc. that you can use as a guide when interviewing each vendor. I have also included a “rating” chart for you to use as a reference when making your final decision. Each questionnaire and rating is 2 pages under each category. You can print out as many copies as you need and take them with you to each interview.

Gift List
In this section you can write down (or type) the gift, who sent you the gift, and other information for each gift you open. When it is time to write your Thank You Notes you will be able to say Thank You for each individual gift received.
