As I’m sure you know there are hundreds of resources available to anyone who needs a little help in planning their wedding. Some of them being a little more useful than others. Many of these sites have several features in common but here are just few tools that you may want to keep in your bridal tool belt to help you along the way.
1.) www.theknot.com; This site has phenominal planning tools and I would highly recommend it, especially for anyone who needs a little help staying organized. To sign up for an account is quick, simple and free. Through this site you have access to your own personal budget/payment calculator , guest list organizer, and it even allows you to create your own wedding website that you can share with your family and friends. I’m sure my description of how beneficial this can be does it no justice so go check it out!
2.) www.projectwedding.com; If you are not already familiar with this site, it is similar to a facebook or myspace, social networking type situation. Here you would actually create a profile and you can chat with other brides in forums, add people to your friend list, read vendor reviews etc. The really cool thing about the profile is that you can scan through thousands of photos for ideas and save them in your profile to refer back to later. This sites definetley a keeper!
3.) www.brides.com; Here you will find many of the features that I listed in the previous two sites with a couple of added tools. On Brides.com you can actually create a seating chart, start your own wedding blog, and use the “gift and thank you notes” section to be sure you thank everyone for the lovely kitchenware you won’t use. SO KIDDING! Ahem…ok, moving on.
4.) www.thebrokeassbride.com; Let me begin by saying I love this blog. It is one of the few places that you can go and read a refreshingly witty wedding blog that is interesting and still has useful info. Everything from recipes to hot fashion can be found here. This is also a good site for those stressful planning days when you just need something to make you smile = )
Any-who, if you have any resources you would like to add, please feel free to comment, I would love to hear about em!
