2. Personalize the Front
Decorate the front of your wedding binder by adding you and your fiancee’s initials, the special date or other embellishments. The more unique details you add, the more special it is to look back on when all the craziness is over.
3. Choose Your Printables

4. Include Tab Dividers
Tab dividers help you organize the binder by sections. Include one for attire, rehearsal, reception and more. This way, you and your wedding planner can refer to the various categories and there is no room for confusion.
5. Add Pocket Sleeves
Clear pocket sleeves can be added throughout your binder to drop in wedding items. From your venue photos to save the dates or wedding invites, they are great to keep everything in one spot.
6. Add Extra Pages
If needed, you can add extra pages along the way, depending on how the planning is going. Your wedding planner may recommend things as well. You have an extra section for notes. You can write in extra details, or print out inspiration and ideas to refer to later.
You’re done! Your DIY wedding binder is your go-to resource for the happy couple throughout the wedding planning process. You can personalize it to you as a couple and stay organized to be sure your special day is seamless. Happy wedding planning!
