Weddingbee

wow! hi! i actually won something! how exciting!

you can email me at the email address provided and we can chat! thanks!

i’ve already emailed you.

I say keep them. It’s like holding on to your old love letters or projects from grade school…they hold so much sentimental value.

i think you should keep them too. in addition to being a wealth of industry related information, it also probably chronicles the evolution of your personal tastes and obsessions– which in the end is probably more valuable than the actual information. i don’t like to keep a lot of clutter around either, but i think there are some things you are absolutely allowed to be sentimental about (even if you don’t really look at them now)!

I’d say keep them. They could come in handy one day, definately…and just as a momento. So cute.

i had a white (awe) trusty binder complete with page protectors and tabs. it was filled with pics to show vendors. i printed doubles of certain things so that the vendors had a copy too. and i had a hard file case too. this was filled with folders & tabs. i kept all info in this case. i defintely can’t get rid of these. i lived by them for too long!

You’re in the biz. You should keep them. I can’t believe you’ve been collecting since high school! Whoa.

I have a binder. In fact, I’m sharing it with friends tonight and giving away a few pages myself.

def. keep it. i don’t have a wedding binder. but i do have binder of recipes I collect online.

I have a friend who has created one of these notebooks. It has no just her bridal mag favs but also those of her friends and family…we call it the Bible (I know, I know). It’s sentimental…keep it!

One of my binders will be tossed, but one has a pseudo-momento thing with it.
My cousin mailed me a book that she used for researching a few international traditions, and I fully intend on passing it on to the next person who needs it.

i have one binder. but not much is in it - probably because i’d put every single page in it that i looked at. i’m always looking for inspiration.

i think that if you decide to give them away, the girl who gets ‘em will be mighty lucky. it’s a lot of work you put into it, but somebody just might get something out of it.

it could be like the sisterhood of the traveling bridal binders.

I have 2 binders, and about 10 months til the wedding. I plan on storing it away. If you do decide to part with them, I would love to “borrow” them for ideas! I *heart* the idea of traveling bridal binders as lindsay suggested!!!!

I don’t think “binder” is a strong enough word. I might have a slight addiction to wedding mags (I’ve nicknamed them “my porn”) and I have a little folder system for them. I even have an electronic version for all the stuff I find online.

have to agree with most of the girls here. KEEP THE BINDERS.
and as a side note, i don’t know you mrs. bee, but i heart you, just b/c you dreamed up this frickin’ awesome site. i’m a weddingbee addict. have to get my daily fix. my friend who works at xanga told me that she sees you every once in a while and i told her next time she does, to get your autograph. hahaha. j/k. =)

I agree with most of the above posters. I would keep them, especially since you’re in the business. I’m trying to get rid of my big stack of wedding magazines, and part of me doesn’t want to see them go, especially since I’ve considered getting into the wedding industry myself. I narrowed it down and kept a few of my favorite issues though, so I’m not going completely cold turkey. I also really like a suggestion made above about scanning in some of your inspiration pages for everyone to share in the ideas. I would love to see what inspired the Queen Bee!
