Hello,

I have the privilege of helping a young woman with her wedding in April. She is the daughter of a dear, dear friend who passed away three years ago.

She and her fiancee will be married in the Traditional Latin Rite and I think everything is set there. If anyone has experience with a wedding in the TLM, though, particularly if there are little things she must or could do to personalize the ceremony, etc., that would be great.

But, really, I am looking for a few great websites she and I could use to plan this wedding. Catholic websites would be great, but also just good wedding sites. I think her budget is modest and she is a very simple gal.

We're going to put together a binder, so any sites with lists/forms to print out would be wonderful. The idea of a binder made for a great laugh by all when she quitely said that she'd bring her laptop to our meeting. Guess a binder is so 90s. :) But, she did think having paper in hand was valuable and I agree. Also good for samples and receipts, etc.

I feel very confident planning parties, but also want to make sure she is making the decisions and I am simply the worker bee. :)

If you've planned a wedding lately and have this kind of information at your fingertips and can send the links, I would appreciate it.

Well, if I were planning my own wedding these days, I would for sure be using Pinterest to cull some images I like and want to use as inspiration. Maybe she could find some jumping-off points there?

Sounds like so much fun, Erica! Wishing the bride many blessings.

Yes, isn't that funny. Seems to be the online "go to" place for planning ideas. It's a great way to collect creative ideas - very visual. I can't help with ideas for a good general wedding organization site. I would imagine the top ones are all pretty similar.

I think it is really special that you are able to do this for your friend's daughter. What a gift you will be giving her of your time and care for her during this very special time in her life - one I'm sure she wishes she could share with her mother.

Bridal Bargains is a great book. The authors also have a forum under their Baby Bargain site here.
