    I have been looking on Amazon.com but there are sooo many books...I don't want to buy a crappy one. Doesn't anyone out there recommend one? I have very expensive taste on a smaller budget and I want DIY ideas in it... budgeting, planning, etiquette..etc...Thanks girls!

    You know, if you spend a lot of time on the computer, you can do everything on Google Docs if you have a google account. I bought a wedding book, but totally do not use it anymore because I do everything on Google docs and Gmail. Just a suggestion!

    @lace:

    I also HIGHLY recommend googledocs & googledocs wedding templates!!  Having everything online (and accessible for my FI to view, or to view from work or home, etc.) has been unbeatable.

    I really like having a notebook, I got the Martha Stewart one from Borders. I like that it has wedding ideas in it, some wedding basics. It also has a timeline you should have everything done, and some calendar and organizing templates.

    The reasons I really like having a notebook are:

    1. I can take it with me to any vendors I'm meeting with. I really like taking notes, so I can make sure I don't miss anything.

    2. It makes it really easy to organize business cards that you get for the venue, band, caterer, wedding dress shop etc, so in case I need to contact them I know exactly where to go.

    3. I can keep all my vendor contracts and recepits all in one place.

    @divergirl: I have the Martha Stewart one too. Haven't really used it yet, but browsing through it looks great and has the ettiquite part as well.
