    But if you were given a specific book for all things wedding, would you use it?

    I did buy one a while ago when we decided to get married, used it a few times but then lost interest. Reason I think is it got scruffy looking from all my notes and markings and I can't stand it when a book isn't tidy so paper works well and I can chuck lol x

    I'm waiting for one to arrive actually, it's hardbacked with ivory roses on the front. It might not be much cop, but seeing as though everything is now booked, it's just somewhere where I can put names, addresses, companies, deposits paid, money to be paid by X...etc

    At the moment, I'm using a Betty Boop hardbacked notebook which my daughter was going to chuck (but had only written on 2 pages :rolleyes:) and I've also used the folder which the venue gave us with all the information in.

    I'm a sucker for lists....I love 'em! :D

    A5 one I cary in me bag for random thoughts, has pictures stuck in and I've been being right blue peter with the pritstick :rotfl:

    I got an A4 one as well with me day to day finances in. :) Also £3.

    My stuff is all in Quick Office notes in my phone - with my handwriting and tendency to doodle any notebook ends up a disaster within a week - plus I can work things out on the move then. Yes - I'm a gadget freak

    A pen...................sorry couldn't resist, how had nobody wrote it before!?

    Seriously though we just write bits on what ever is to hand, we have made a few spreadsheets too so its all in one place which is handy!

    I made a binder, I wouldn't spend money on a pre-made book.

    I also have a website with colors, my dress, BM dresses, ideas, venues etc. For me as well as many girls on theknot.com have them, plus it's easy to share with my mom in the US.

    I've got an a5 binder from paperchase, which is nice but i think it's gonna be way to small! I've only just started the planning stages! And a billion (well not quite!) lists on my laptop!
