Something Else To Pick Up

I forgot to mention something in Sunday’s post about organizational tools. You’re probably going to want to also pick up a strong, durable accordion file folder.

The point of this folder is to provide a safe, organized space for contracts, receipts and other important bits of paper. Fancier planners often have folder features built-in but you still might want to pick up an accordion-style one, particularly if you can’t fully close those built-in folders (the last thing you want is for all your paperwork to spill out when you’re headed into the car with your planner.)

Before picking up your folder, figure out how many sections you’ll need. At minimum, you’ll probably want separate spaces for these topics: Cake; Dress; Flowers; Music; Other Clothing; Photographer, Stationary and Venue. Some people say you should have a separate area for each vendor and I think that’s not a bad piece of advice.

I recommend trying to also pick up a folder that’s made out of plastic. This thing is going to be holding some pretty important documents and is also likely going to be spending plenty of time sitting on your kitchen table and counters so it’s worth spending an extra few dollars to get a folder that going to be protected against wayward glasses of wine.

In sales news, you have one week left to save the taxes on bridesmaids’ dress over at Bridal & Beyond. The Mississauga store location is also hosting the Maggie Sottero Fall 200 trunk show where you can save up to $250 on your new Maggie. For more details on both of these sales, head over here.
