It details names of venues, phone numbers, guest list, costs, dates, amounts paid, and amounts outstanding. It contains invoices, quotes, receipts, swatches of colours, drawings, pictures from magazines and any other information relevant to our big day.
Importantly, it tracks expenses so that the entire way through the planning process, we are aware of how much has been spent so far, and what we are looking at as a grand total cost for the wedding. As much as you might keep a running tally in your head, it is quite easy to lose track or overlook costs and every little bit adds up. While we do not have a fixed maximum spend, it all comes back to the equation that it must cost less than it would have to get married in Vegas (based on flying all of our kids and parents there).
While I do love real books, and being able to sketch ideas, my ipad is an extension of this black book. There have been a lot of things I have shared on my pinterest, I often prefer to screen shot some of the 'secret squirrel' stuff, but most the stuff I will need to refer to repeatedly or in a hurry.
