Organization is a Virtue

September 20th, 2008 @ 12:27 pm by Ms Fondue

I’ve been planning stuff since I was a kid. I used to plan bake sales and carnivals and clubs. I always had folders with ideas organized perfectly, even if what I was planning never happened.

Naturally, I try to stay organized with the wedding planning. I started with a binder, where I stored brochures from local vendors, ideas of things printed out from online, and list…

The Final Countdown

August 27th, 2008 @ 2:40 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea

I logged into my other obsession (or time waster), Facebook, this morning to see this on my profile:

That’s right! We are officially one month out from the wedding. I’m getting so excited, at times a little nervous and, most of all, antsy. I’m ready to see it all come together, the signs, flowers, lighting, music, decorations, favors - EVERYTHING!

Well, my friends, it is now less than a week to my wedding–I can’t believe it. I am totally calm, I kid you not. Almost everything is done. Momma Puff and Puff Daddy are coming into town tonight, and they each have a short list of projects to help me out, but all the big things are DONE!

The one thing that has been a major…

Sample Day- Timeline

June 24th, 2008 @ 8:29 am by Mrs. Penguin

Our photographer requested a Day-of timeline from me, and I sent one to her.  Little did I know, it was borderline pathetic.  Since she’s had more experience with weddings than I, she kindly sent me a sample of a GOOD timeline, and I quickly spiffed mine up a bit.   Your day of will obviously be very different from mine, but it’s nice to have a place…

I need to share with you one of the most amazing organizational tools. Seriously. Shared by some of the awesome women over at Indiebride, it is by far the most comprehensive wedding planning spreadsheet I have seen, complete with formulas to help you calculate total costs and the number of people each person (bride, groom, parents) is inviting.Here are just some of the features:

As we all know, trying to manage all the little details of a wedding can get a little overwhelming. Miss Hydrangea shared her secrets to keeping her sanity. Here are mine. And I know how nerdy I am about to sound, but apparently being nerdy has become the new cool.

Nifty Planning Tool

Wanderluster has tipped me off to one of the most awesome planning things ever.

Google Notebook.

Seriously. I don’t know about you, but I have, oh, 6.02 x 10^23 pages bookmarked in various folders in my internet browser. (Alright, so maybe Avogadro’s number is an exaggeration. But I have a lot.) And it can be really hard to find the exact “super awesome red invitation” picture that…

Keeping My Sanity

Though I was skeptical at first, I am now a full believer in the iPhone. Because of this phone, my mom and I were always able to get directions anywhere to our venue appointments. I could constantly keep up with my e-mails for the wedding at any time.

Keeping It All Organized

January 22nd, 2008 @ 9:28 am by Mrs. Corn

Back when I was first engaged (ok… why lie… it was at least a month before we got engaged ), I purchased a wedding planning book. I had done some research in the bookstores and I had experience as a planner myself, so I knew what I was looking for.

Unfortunately, the most perfect book for me, was also spiral bound. So I bought it, demolished…

Mission Magazine Organization

January 15th, 2008 @ 2:34 pm by Mrs. Bee

I subscribe to a lot of magazines, and for years I’ve been cutting out pages and organizing them according to title, topic and year.  While I would have liked to save entire issues, organizing individual pages by topic made it easier to go back and find specific things when I was looking for them. 

But when it came to my beloved issues of Martha Stewart or…

Just like Professor Hinkle in Frosty the Snowman, I’ve got to get busy writing. We’ve got the final wording of our invitations to edit, as well Christmas cards to write and then address.

Starting Off Sane…

The day after we got engaged, Mr. Canary and I were walking around the city and we passed by a Borders on the way home. I had to stop in and buy my first bridal magazines. I had resisted purchasing them before we were engaged, though I have to admit I had been browsing on the knot, weddingbee, and indiebride a lot. Since we’d been dating…

About 3 months after Mr. Pumpkin proposed, I bought the Martha Stewart Wedding Planner.

Inside there are sections for each area of planning (ceremony, reception, flowers, etc…) and information on each of these areas. Since I had already purchased every issue of MS Weddings and InStyle Weddings from the previous 5 years, I did not find the information particularly helpful but there is a lot in…
