what are some good planning tools?

The most effective tool? A wedding planner of course :)

Think of us as your behind-the-scenes hype person, event producer, vendor liaison and problem solver, among many more things.

That being said, if you are navigating the journey yourself (with a glass of bubbles in hand I hope), here are some thoughts to get you started.

> A calendar is imperative to managing your deadlines and your stress. Add everything to your calendar and work backwards from your wedding date to input realistic deadlines.

> Sharable excel or Google sheets to track your budget and your o do list in real time. You can share your to do list with other important parties like any bridal party mebers who are helping you tick off the items on your list. Make sure you also include the contact details for all of your vendors in one easy to access place.

> Group chats so that everyone is across all of the important stuff and it saves you time only sending the message once. Don't forget to name your group chat so you know who you're talking to.

> RSVP & guest management websites help you keep track of who is attending as well as any special considerations like dietary requirements.

> Pinterest is great for inspiration but keep your budget in mind when you're scrolling.

> Canva is great for DIY invitations, menus and signage, make sure you're across the sizes and specs you require for printing. 

> Obvioulsy Easy Weddings is your one stop shop for incredible vendors as well as lot's of tips and tricks so make sure you check out the webiste and read the posts.
