How to keep track of wedding planning meetings
Keeping track of the wedding vendors you meet and options you see is the key to effective wedding planning. Referring back to your notes from different meetings will be handy, so read on for tips on keeping wedding meeting information organized and accessible while on the go.
1) Always carry a small notebook and pen. This is a good rule for life in general –messenger bags have those little tubular holders sewn in for a reason. Sure there’s “an app for that” but the old fashioned method is the simplest and fastest way to jot down notes when touring a venue or tasting cakes. Later on your thoughts are easy to find, just flip through. No scrolling or squinting required.
2) Use your phone – as a camera! Before cell phones became essential accessories that run our lives, a camera on a phone was a very fancy feature. It’s still super useful. Capture a table setting, colors that inspire, or the hours on the window of a store you need to come back to.
3) Don’t forget to KISS! Definitely kiss your sweetie, but also Keep It Simple Silly! Worrying about elaborate notebooks and apps for tracking information take away from what really is a fun process if you let go a little. So relax, remember your pen, and plan away!

As kids, time moves like molasses. Between birthdays was an eternity! When weddings are scheduled far in advance, they seem far away (sometimes literally)– but this is grown up stuff folks- the months will slip through your fingers like sand.
The trick is to keep the kid in you alive! Remember how special it was to anticipate your birthday party, and try to embrace that feeling over the stress of details and family nonsense. Remember- you’re doing all of this to marry the love of your life! And it’s going to be amazing.
Be well, and love well.
