My Little Blue Book

October 30th, 2009 @ 5:21 pm by Mrs. Lamb

This is my little blue book - full of wedding vendors, to do lists, and inspiration. It has been my constant companion, even through my seasonal purse change.

My Little Blue Book :  wedding stationery Bluebo Blue+Bo

My dear Aunt sent it to me shortly after my engagement and inscribed the first page with a note and a verse from the Bible.

You can also see all the junk that fell out of the front, including a handwritten list and my makeup artist’s card.

My aunt also tucked in this little card of advice about God being involved in your marriage and playing a role in cementing your bond as a couple. It serves as a reminder that we’re not alone and that God is there for us.

It has handy dandy tabs for appointments, ideas, to dos, books & mags, budget, and shopping. As you can tell, the budget and shopping tabs are starting to wear a little ragged… hmmmm.

My Little Blue Book :  wedding stationery Bluebo04 Blue+Bo04

This is an example of the type of item that I track in this little book. I was scrolling through dafont.com and instead of bookmarking each of my favorites, I just jotted down the names so that I had easy access to them later if I wasn’t in front of my computer.

Some things still don’t quite make it into the book - like this note to call a vendor. It did, however, make it to a sticky note which got stuck to the back of my little blue book. So I consider that a half success. Is that optimism? Or is that wedding brain disguised as optimism???

Do you keep a notebook in your purse for spontaneous wedding thoughts? Do you use your smart phone or another electronic form?

I keep a notebook and the ever important color card. Yours is so much more prone to organization.

Shortly after we got engaged, Mr. Potato Head put together a wedding binder full of dividers and To-Do lists. It lives under our coffee table. I love your notebook; great way to keep organized and it’s super cute.

Great idea–I should’ve been more organized in my planning.

Fun - I have a thick folder with clear sleeves my sister purchased me , so I can write notes and tuck documents in! It’s even in our wedding colors =)

Aw, what a cute book! I keep everything in google documents so that my fiancé can edit them and others can read the info on an ad-needed basis.

My planner has extra pages in the back that I am always jotting things on. We have a wedding planner that goes with us on any wedding errands, but my planner is always in my purse!

Mr P bought me a gigantic binder for my wedding stuff- after seeing a recently married friends binder. It’s great for keeping ideas and contracts etc, but not so easy to transport. I think I need a notebook…

So cute! Love the color. I have a spreadsheet for everything and printed copies in a big binder where I also put contracts and receipts etc. I also have a Weddings bookmark folder. Then I use my phone for everything else I think of or find on the go. Every night, I sync my computer and my phone so everything I have in both.

That is a really sweet gift! I have a folder labeled “W” on my laptop where I dump everything (pictures, contracts, everything). I started a paper notebook, but I use my laptop so much more frequently that the notebook has my venue contract in it….and that’s about it.

I plan to get one myself. my wedding planner is a 3 inch binder so it is definitely not portable like this one!

That’s such a cute planner! I use my iPhone, mostly because I have it with me at all times and it’s easy to type something in/delete it if I decide I don’t need it anymore.

That’s so sweet!
I keep a squared moleskine on my person at all times. Everything goes into that puppy, then eventually gets routed to the appropriate places.

what a pretty blue book. it seems so my more *bridal* than a binder…potentially less practical, but much prettier
