The Budget-Savvy Wedding Planner & Organizer: Checklists, Worksheets, and Essential Tools to Plan the Perfect Wedding on a Small Budget

Don't be fooled by the low price, this planner is excellent quality and very well put together. I bought it to use as a throw away planner until I got a fancy one, but it turns out that this one is every bit as good as the fancier ones! It truly is perfect for the budget conscious bride. It's very convenient, a great size, and includes everything you need to do and consider in the planning process. It even points out the things that can easily be DIY if you're crafty, or done by a talented friend or family member to help keep you within your budget. It takes the stress out of the planning, and it keeps everything important together in one place. My only dislike is that this book is such excellent quality that I feel a little guilty writing in it.

The Budget-Savvy 2019 Wedding Planner & Organizer has been an lifesaver for planning my special day without breaking the bank. As a small business owner running my own venture from home, I'm all about finding value and quality. This planner delivers just that! It's filled with practical tips, budgeting worksheets, and creative ideas to make my wedding dreams come true while staying within budget. The adorable design and witty wedding-related jokes sprinkled throughout add a delightful touch of humor. This organizer understands the importance of organization and time-saving solutions, giving me the tools I need to stay on track. Whether you're a bride on a budget or simply seeking a well-structured wedding planner, this one gets my seal of approval!

This planner is great and was so helpful. I didn't have long to plan a wedding and it helped the process. It had things in the book that I didn't even think about. The book with worth every penny.

It’s a lot. Better for a long planned wedding.

This planner has been a lifesaver!! I did not grow up imagining my wedding day or knowing even remotely what I wanted it to look like, so purchasing this book was my cry for help. Budget-wise, I haven't followed the book's financial advise too closely, more loosely by just keeping my budget concerns in mind. Where this book is worth its weight in gold for me is the lists, the posed questions of what if's, and all the information pointing out planning items I would never have known to address. For example, in the chapter addressing picking vendors, the author provided a list of questions to ask each vendor and then provided advice for the possible answers each question might receive. This formula is repeated with every planning section and helped me feel a LOT more confident and secure with my decisions. Even if I didn't choose to ask a vendor every single question the author provides, I still felt confident knowing I was equipped to know if I was receiving good service from each vendor. Additionally, the author provides checklists for both one-year and six-month wedding planning timelines (my personally planning is only six months, so this was especially useful for me!). Within both timelines is a broken-out countdown list numbered by each month left until the wedding, including up to one week before the wedding itself. Again, such a lifesaver! Overall, I recommend this book for brides/grooms who need realistic, creative thinking to keep wedding spending in check or, like me, need a simple, straight-forward guide to navigate wedding norms.

Best book for planning a wedding

Of the two books I got (this and The Knots book), this one was actually helpful for just starting out. I had a budget number in my head, but this gives real life examples in different cities with different styles so you can see if your budget makes sense. However, once I really got into the actual planning part, I never opened this again. There is a wedding Google spreadsheet that was a lifesaver. And I also used The Knots website. With those two, I didn’t really need the book again. Baseline - if you just got engaged and wondering where to start, I’d say this is helpful. If you’ve already started googling, not worth it.

Amazing tool if you are planning your own wedding. We bought this a year and a half before the big day and this helped us navigate what we liked, wanted, and needed. This helps on a timeline of when you should start projects, dress shopping and all the little things you could forget about. Highly highly reccomend!!!

Mi pareja quería iniciarse en este tema y le ha servido como una pequeña base a tener en cuenta

Awesome for getting started on your wedding planning, also as a reference as you get further in the planning process. All very common sense information, however you sometimes need that reminder when you get into the throws of planning (ie. Who to axe from the guest list!).

Great book, very helpful !!

I just recently got engaged and this book has helped immensely! Lots of great helpful tips and hints. Helps organize all the factors that go into a wedding

Helping to plan the wedding of my dreams and hopefully a nice keepsake afterwards
