The best thirty dollars a bride can spend is on her three-ring bible, her wedding binder. While there are many options on the market to buy, I highly suggest making your own. This allows for the binder to be large enough for all of the crucial information you will be accumulating over the next year or so as well as being perfectly tailored for your wedding planning needs. Remember, this can also be a fantastic engagement gift for a new bride to be. She’ll be thanking you every time she opens it up!
Here is a list of helpful items I suggest.
1. A four inch, three ringed binder (It may seem big and bulky now, but it will be stuffed by the end)
2. Binder Tabs with Clear Index Markers with pockets- Avery makes a great product and the pockets help keep brochures or paperwork together until you can file it away properly. Make sure you have extra in case you need additional tabs as your planning process progresses.
3. Portable three-hole punch that will clip into your binder- As you accumulate your papers, quickly punch holes in and file away so that items are not lost or misplaced.
4. Reinforcements for hole punched papers
5. Zipper binder pocket to be filled with pens, pencil, highlighter, whiteout, small calculator, small tape measure, post it flags and notes, a small bottle of Tylenol, mini pair of scissors and stapler, small hand sanitizer bottle and travel sized tissues.
6. Legal pad for notes
Some basic examples of helpful wedding tabs are:

Now the most important thing to remember is to label your binder with your name and contact information, just in case your beloved binder gets left behind on accident. ☺
Happy planning!
