| I bought this wedding planner after reading the reviews and agreeing that I wasn't looking for a guidebook with advice as much as important checklists and a place to keep everything organized. While I like the general layout there are a few problems: 1) When I first received my planner, some of the pages already looked dirty because the ink from the pockets had rubbed off on them. I know that's picky, but just like my wedding, I wanted everything to be perfect. I've been using pencil sometimes when I wanted the option to erase, but it's just getting dirtier and uglier. 2) While the pockets are great, it's hard to tell what's in them since they aren't clear and little things like business cards can get lost at the bottom. 3) I liked the smaller size of the planner, but then realized that contracts and other documents are all on standard 8.5x11 paper, which means I've had to fold everything to fit them in the pockets, which is actually kind of a hassle and again, not as neat as possible. 4) While the divider tabs are also a good idea, they need to be stronger. After heavy use, mine are now frayed and ugly-looking. 5) While for the most part, the divisions are great, it seemed a bit crazy to have "Flowers, Music, and Photography" all squished into one section. The actual planning pages are fine, but there's only one little pocket for each section and I have tons of papers to keep track of in each of these three categories. All in all, I think this is one of the prettier, affordable planners out there, but I would probably opt for a binder version in the future that would allow me to customize things a bit more. This book would be great to finish as a keepsake (if mine weren't already well-used), but it's not the best organizer out there. |
