Wedding Resources I Love

I was originally going to post a recap of the race I did last week, but decided to put that off to do a wedding related post instead! Yesterday, July 9th, marked one month until our wedding! I am super excited and in full wedding mode so today's post is about the websites that have proved to be the best resources for us during this whole planning process. Some are a little more obvious than others but I hope you find them useful whether you're currently engaged, almost engaged, or know someone who would benefit from these websites!

The Knot
This is probably the most obvious one! My suggestion after first getting engaged {after celebrating, of course!} is to make an account through The Knot. You may not know your date yet, but that's okay! The Knot provides so many useful articles with every tip and trick you didn't know you needed to know. Once you have your date, The Knot will create a checklist for you with deadlines for each task that you need to complete in order to plan your wedding. You also will have access to a free wedding website {it's soo easy to use!}, a budgeter, a timeline planner, and more!

RSVPify
This was a resource that was recommended to us by my sister and her husband. RSVPify allows you to simplify RSVPing by putting everything online for a small fee! The set up is easy, although John did most of it so I can't say too much about it. You import your guest list into the website, separating each couple or family into their own grouping, and then assign each person/couple/family a unique code that they will enter on the site when they go on to respond. You can personalize the form with meal choices and questions such as song suggestions. Once people start responding, you can begin placing them in table groups which another awesome feature on RSVPify. It has honestly simplified this part of the process for me immensely and saved us a good amount of money since all we needed to make was a small insert card for each invitation with the information on it.

Etsy
Etsy was an absolute life saver when it came to many wedding purchases. Guest book? Etsy. Gifts for our parents? Etsy. Cake server? You guessed it, Etsy! We were able to find so many unique items on Etsy and always had tons of options, especially when I had no clue what exactly I wanted like the cake serving set. Anything you may need for your wedding, I guarantee you can probably find it on Etsy!

Groomsshop
John came across this online store while searching for gifts for the groomsmen and its great! We were at a loss as to what to get his guys as a present and after looking at the options on here, we then had trouble narrowing down our choices. There are a lot of unique ideas, most of which you can personalize. The item we chose came in a set of 5 for a great deal, which worked out perfectly!

Question of the Day: If you’ve planned a wedding or are planning a wedding, do you have a favorite wedding resource? If not, have you heard of one that sounds cool?
