Planning Tools: Which one to use?

TAGS: PLANNING, TOOLS, WEBSITE, GUEST LIST, SEATING PLAN, PHOTOGRAPHY, DJ, THANK YOU CARDS

With all the wedding planning resources popping up on the web, it can be overwhelming to find one that works for you. I have narrowed it down to three which I believe provide very useful and comprehensive planning tools for free. Sure, other sites may offer tools for one task or another, but I suggest that you stick with one site that can offer all the tools you need from start to finish. That way, all your information is in the same place and accessible from any computer.



I suggest using the time-saving interactive tools the websites provide with built in calculators, e-mail lists for your guests, etc, as well as buying an accordion folder or other paper filing system that works for you. There are also many paper books and binders which look lovely - but I’ll stick to reviewing the on-line tools for now.


You'll find my ultimate recommendation below the reviews. I don't want to sway your decision before you've read my assessments of each site.
