Starting your wedding planning process soon? If so, you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed just thinking about the budget, venue, guest list, music and every small yet significant detail that comes with planning a wedding. Having a book or binder to keep track of all the information and inspiration you’ll be compiling will help keep you on track.
With that in mind, I wanted to share with you this guide on how to make your own wedding planner. Not only is this super easy to put together, they also include three beautiful versions of each printable with everything you’ll need to plan the perfect wedding.
Whichever design you choose, each printable has a timeline, checklist, guest list, a general budget roundup and a detailed budget sheet, a vendor list, attire checklists, honeymoon itinerary along with other helpful tracking and customizable sheets.
Having a binder like this, even when you’ve hired a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, can help keep you at ease and inspired throughout the process. It’ll also make for a perfect keepsake of your wedding. Keep reading below to find how you can make your own wedding binder.
