Engagement Survival Kit

I am over the flippin' moon to share this project with you today. One of my dearest, closest, and most amazing friends got engaged over the weekend! 

{just look at that gorgeous couple!}

To help her and her new fiancé celebrate their engagement and begin planning their wedding, I put together a little Engagement Survival Kit for them.

One big part of this kit is the custom wedding binder. There are so many wedding binders out there, however most are full of information that is not necessary or that is better stored on a Pinterest board or Excel spreadsheet. So I prepared one for Lindsey that was more realistic.

I included several different tabs to keep things nice and neat. They're also removable so she can change and arrange them in a way that works for her. 

There are a few lists and guides throughout to keep her on track, and personal notes so she doesn't forget to breathe and enjoy each moment. 

Also included are post-its for ideas and reminders, clips to hold contracts and paperwork together, a calendar planner to keep important dates and timelines, and two pouches to keep everything in place.

There are some items that might be easier to organize on the computer. The budget, for example, can be easier to follow with an excel spreadsheet totaling everything up for you. That's why I also included a link to a google drive folder, with an organized budget and guest tracker, as well as access to every document that was printed in her binder so if she wants to make it her own, she already has a template for it. 

Probably my favorite part of this gift box is the DIY personalized stationary with her married name scripted across the top and matching polka dots along the bottom.  

I added a few fun little gifts "necessary" for any bride-to-be, a personalized ring dish, Bling Wipes {for her new bling}, and a Minimergency kit.
