Professional Wedding Planner & Organizer Book - Perfect for Brides, Grooms & Wedding Planning (Ideal for Venue Selection, Guest Lists & Budget Tracking)

I love the idea of the book and the format it's in. Since some of the pages don't apply to my wedding it was nice to be able to remove them and keep just what I need. For a bride who does need most of the pages (or even if you don't), it's an excellent collection of charts and lists to keep track of the details that seem overwhelming at times. I knew I didn't want a planner/organizer with a lot of pictures or lists of tips/ideas to use (ie wasted space; I don't need pages and pages of centerpiece ideas) and this definitely fit the bill. There isn't a lot of extra information and what is included is better described as suggestions or very basic info. For example, in the dress section one of the first pages shows illustrations of popular wedding gown options (necklines, styles, etc.) and, while it doesn't include a lot of what can be found in the stores, it gives an idea of common shapes to expect to see when you do go dress shopping. I haven't needed to use the pockets yet but I love knowing they're there when the time comes that I do need to use them. The lists they provide are very detailed and cover almost everything you need to keep track of, including things I hadn't thought of.Pros:--few tips and examples; mostly charts and lists to keep the bride organized--the binder allows pages to be removed or added easily and fits an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper so no folding necessary--empty spaces in the charts to add items you need for your wedding but aren't already listed--storage pockets for business cards, fabric swatches, etc.--labeled dividers help keep categories separated but organized in an easy-to-see format--sturdy binder w/ a simple design (the paper cover that is shown in the picture--the one that says "The Wedding Planner and Organizer..."--is just taped to the inside of the front and back covers, so it comes off easily and leaves you with a lightly patterned binder)Cons: I don't really have any negatives. While some of the material is unnecessary as far as my wedding goes, I just took those pages out.
