I absolutely love this wedding planner. I was doing some searching for the most flexible one and found this 3 ring binder type. It is a soft cover binder comes with a bunch of sections (adorably named) to help you organize (All About the Bride, Ceremony, Reception, Wedding Party & Guests, Flowers Music & Photography, etc.) Each section has it's own plastic storage folder as well as page templates for each section (whether it's to list thank you notes or make a seating chart/list for the reception). The book also provides little hints/tips to help you keep things organized and eventful.

I've been using it since I got engaged and have 14 more months to go until the wedding to keep using it.

I must say out of all the wedding organizers out there this is the best. It doesnt have a bunch of advise about planning, but it has room inside for everything. Its perfect for the obsessive bride like myself, that needs to keep everything. I have every receipt, contract, pictures of dress styles,flowers,cakes that I like cut out from magazines. All my honeymoon plans (flight plans, passport info), with room to spare. I cant believe I found something that can keep all the stuff I have going on all in one organizer! I would recommend this for any bride.

Right after I was engaged, my fiance and I raced out to purchase a planner a few months back. Since I didn't want to wait for a delivery I went to the local bookstore. Unfortunately, there were few to choose from, but I loved the look of the planner. I should've remembered the cliche saying, "don't judge a book by it's cover." After flipping through the pages today I realized how useless the book is for the pre-planning. For the beginning, I'm more interested in finding a venue, picking colors, budget tips, and attire to name a few. The book really focuses on the day of the wedding, invitations, and engagement party, bridal shower, etc. The book lacks a lot of information and isn't helpful for a bride during the current times, especially the bad economic times. I came across "Your Personal Wedding Planner" by Jo Anna Zaffree. I heard her on a podcast a couple days ago and regret not buying her book. Zaffree strongly focuses on how to budget during planning stages and even provides a page to post a picture of your dress! I highly recommend Zaffree's book to brides. Steer clear of "Tying the Knot."

This was one of two planners I ordered and it was very disappointing. For one the binder is very flimsy and planning details involved are slim to none. Ultimately I only used this planner for overflow. This planner might work if you are having a very small wedding but it is not very helpful for any kind of detailed work. Trust me, you could do better. The best thing about this is the cute pink design, but you get over that real quick.

I bought this for a friend who is getting married, and I am the maid of honor. I thought it would be a cute little addition to my engagement gift and that it might be helpful. The price was cheap, so even if she never used it I wouldn't care. Well, she loves it. It helps her keep everything organized. It has folders for all the sections. We went dress shopping the other day and she brought it with her. In there she had pictures of dresses, and when she bought the dress the receipt went right in there as well. She is very organized so I think she really appreciates that she has somewhere to put all the papers she gets for the wedding. I would definitely recommend this for someone who is not organized, but I would recommend this for someone who is super organized as well. There is lots of space for details that you want to fill in, she doesn't really use that but someone who is really organized might want to write things down. It also has a countdown, things you should do 12 months before, 6 months, etc, which is really helpful for the bride who has no idea when she needs to do things by in order for them to be ready for the wedding date. Overall it was a hit, and I'm glad.

Before I purchased this book, I had receipts and samples scattered everywhere. I had a folder in one place and a pile of paper somewhere else. Now, everything wedding related is in one place, even my ideas. I love the folders and the suggestions.

This item was not how I thought it would be based on the description on Amazon. It is a completely flimsy binder (that could have used much bigger rings so that you could add a lot more stuff to it) and mine was actually damaged when I got it. The binder itself doesn't even have pockets on its inside other than the ones in the rings! It is not "durable" as the description reports and the pockets that come with it are these pathetic little inserts and they only give you 8. These pockets really don't hold that much and the little bit of information that they put in the binder for you really doesn't tell you anything new if you have read any other wedding planning material. I was really disappointed with this item, and I even got it on sale. Save your money for the wedding.

P.S. This resource also has nothing to do with The Knot, despite what the name might imply.

I bought this book because I thought it was really cute, it was a binder, and because the reviews were good. Once I opened it up and began to read I realized it was not that good. The book gives lots of ideas on how to save money, but I think all of the ideas look very cheap and require hours and hours of work. Something I do not have, nor does many people. I ended up throwing away all of the pages and kept the binder, because I thought it was cute. It was a big waste of money. DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!!

I love this so much! My sister bought if for me this Christmas because I am getting married in the summer of 2009. I love how flexible and easy to carry it is. It's cute, bright, girly...I just love it! And the tips inside are very helpful as well as the compartments where you can keep any information needed. I can't wait to really get into my planning and use my new wedding binder even more.

This is a great product because it allows me to write, draw and hold my ideas. This book also gives a few ideas on cost cutting, flowers and receptions.
