A real planning tool, finally!
I looked through a lot of other planners while trying to find one that I liked. For the most part they were too brief. For example, if you're going to go to more than one store to look at wedding invitations, wouldn't it be nice to have some place in your planner to write details of each store down? Most planners tend to have room for just one store - your final pick. That's not the case with this planner. Each item (stationery, reception location, caterers) has a handy comparison chart that gives you a place to write down some basics about each one. There's also a neat section on flowers featuring pictures of each flower so you'll understand what your florist is talking about. In addition, the divider for each section features a pocket on each side, a great place to keep all those receipts and contracts you end up with. To top it all off, at the end of the planner, there are three business card holder pages.
There are a few drawbacks to this book. First, it is really large. It's about the size of an oversized three ring binder. If you want something to just throw in your purse when you go to interview vendors, this won't work. Second, it features a lot of pictures. Now, this is handy for the flower section, but 20 pictures of different cake styles isn't really something you need in a planner.
Overall, I recommend this planner if you're going to be doing comparison shopping and if you are detail oriented. It really is the best one that I've seen so far.
