Wedding Planners
There are two types of wedding planners -- one is an organizer or binder which includes all of your wedding plans. The second is actually a wedding coordinator -- a person who coordinates and helps with all of your wedding plans.
Wedding planners (organizers) should include everything all the way from your budget plans to your honeymoon information. Planning a wedding is time-consuming and can be stressful. With an organized wedding planner you can keep track of all of your information in one place. There are so many details, you need something to help you stay on track without a lot of stress.
Your wedding organizer should include your guest list and your sample invitation. You need to know how many people will actually attend so you can provide accurate numbers to the caterer. Include your wedding checklist with a time line of when necessary tasks should be completed. If you are trying to save money on your wedding, you can delegate many tasks to family and friends -- your wedding planner will help you stay on top of who is in charge of what.
Wedding planners should also include your contracts with your caterer, florist, wedding photographer, all your vendors, gift registry information, reception and wedding seating charts, and information about people who RSVP.
A professional wedding planner -- or wedding coordinator -- can help you keep track of hundreds important aspects of your wedding. They can arrange for all of the details and take care of any last-minute problems -- things you do not want to be worried about on your wedding day. Hiring a wedding planner is a great way to reduce stress -- just make sure your personalities mesh and they come recommended.
A wedding coordinator should review all contracts to make sure everything is complete and nothing is omitted. They should provide constant communication with all vendors to keep things on track and provide assistance with invitations, wedding favors, transportation, and every aspect of your wedding to make sure things go smoothly.
You can find good wedding planning checklists at popular sites such as: TheKnot.com, The Wedding Channel, or Brides.com.
