What should be included in a wedding planner book?
If you’re buying a wedding planner book or organiser, or if you want to make your own, you’ll need to make sure the following sections are included in your wedding planner:
- Guests – the space to make a guest list will be very useful!
- Stationery – including a breakdown of what wedding stationery you need.
- Venue – you’ll need space to note your favourites, your viewing times and key info about each one, such as guest capacity, accommodation, parking etc.
- Wedding outfits – space to jot down any appointments, pick up times, alterations and a place to stash your cuttings from magazines and names of favourite brands.
- Supplier information – you’ll want a section devoted to the different suppliers you like for key parts of your wedding, like the wedding cake, stationery, flowers, entertainment and more.
- Gift list – keep any gift list info you come across stored safely so it’s easy to compare and pick the right one for you.
- Honeymoon – have a section for all your honeymoon dreaming too!
Do I need a wedding planner book?
We would say it makes sense to have some sort of filing system for your wedding planning. Of course, a folder on your laptop is totally fine, but the real benefit of having a wedding planner book is that it becomes a nice keepsake to look back on and reminisce about all the fun you had planning your dream day.
When should I buy a wedding planner book?
You can buy your wedding planner book or organiser as soon as you’ve got engaged, if you want! But bear in mind someone might buy one for you as an engagement gift, as they really make perfect gifts to give to a bride.
If you’re ready to get going on the planning, make sure you read our key questions to ask your wedding venue!
