The Wedding Planner & Organizer

Weddings require organization, record-keeping, legwork, logistics. In other words, a planner. From the celebrity wedding planner and author of the The Wedding Book, Mindy Weiss’s All-In-One Wedding Planner & Organizer helps couples keep track of every detail leading up to their Big Day. It’s the organizer that includes exactly what you need for on-the-go, on-the-ground wedding planning.

Created as a three-ring binder, it has tabs for each category:
• The Big Picture and Contacts
• Budget
• Location, Location, Location!
• Menu and Flowers
• Rentals
• The Dress! (And What Everyone Else Is Wearing)
• The Guests and the Invitations
• Music, Photography, and Videography
• Making It Official: Rings, Licenses, Vows, Officiants

Packed throughout are tips, tools, checklists, spreadsheets, and schedules to help brides (and grooms) manage everything from building a wedding timeline and organizing the dreaded seating chart to getting the wedding party matched and fitted. From “Will you marry me?” to “I do,” nothing will slip through the cracks.

"If a bride can't have celebrity event planner Weiss handle the big day, she can at least have Weiss'  vast  stash of intel stuffed  between these nine tabbed dividers (for quick locating), with pockets (for fabric swatches,  receipts, and all the stuff  an iPad just can't manage). Weiss (The Wedding Book: The Big Book For Your Big Day), leaves no gemstone unturned, from the engagement ring to changing one's name, whether for power of attorney or the power company. Brides start with space to jot down their hopes, and they're off. Checklists are provided (with gentle but detailed direction) for every phase from engagement to wedding, to creating — and narrowing — the guest list, to dress options, the menu, location, and all the details in between for engagements of every duration.  Remove the bellyband and you have the keepsake binder where it all began, from escort cards to thank you notes. The binder allows the bride to add her own pages, and a zippered pouch and clear business card holder handle extra storage. Weiss also offers a parting reminder on those post-wedding blues: 'A wedding is a wonderful thing, but marriage takes the cake.' (Jan.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
