Today, I came across a website and found a great FREE tool, Zoji, which I think would be very helpful for all busy brides. Zoji can be used to organize events such as parties, nights out, sporting activities, group outings…you name it! It also includes features such as RSVP before the event and photo sharing after the event.

So, how to make use of Zoji for wedding planning?

• Use Zoji to organize all pre-wedding parties
• Create an invitation page with all of the important event info
• Send email invitations to anyone (Invitees don’t need a Zoji account to view and respond to your invitations)
• Guests can vote on multiple dates and times you choose
• Track RSVP responses
• Choose from many event skins to customize the look of your z-vite
• Add a chatterbox and let your guests chat with each other in real-time
• Share pictures after the parties

Here is a sample invitation page. Isn’t it fun and hands down?

A friend of mine recently told me how stressful she was. She is getting married this summer and starts losing control. She complained that there are so many things need to be done, she has to do all major and minor tasks on her own….and she only has 3 months left….

There are way too many things to keep track of for one person, and the smart bride knows to allow family and friends to help whenever possible. However, some brides just couldn’t trust their family members and friends can do what they exactly want. Relax, here are just a few time-consuming tasks you can delegate assuming that your instructions are clear:-

• Ask your parents, your future in-laws and the groom to give you 2 guess lists (the 1st list is “Must be Invited” and the 2nd list is “Nice to Include”. Roughly give them the number of guests they can put on the “Must be Invited” list). Bride needs to do her own lists.
• Ask one person to combine all 4 “Must be Invited” lists into 1 master list.
• Ask for help when it’s time to assemble the invitations and address the envelopes, and be sure to have them sent out six to eight weeks before the wedding day to give guests enough notice. If some guests couldn’t attend, you can fill those spots from the 2nd list.
• Once the R.S.V.P. coming in, you can ask one person to enter your final list into the Excel format for you.
• Ask friends to do research for the things that you need to buy.
• If you plan to make your own wedding favors, you can always ask help from the family members, bridesmaids and some close friends.
• Pick up the gowns, tuxedo and other accessories
• Arrange for lodging and transportation for out-of-town wedding guests
• Preparing welcome baskets for out-of-town guests

The above are just a few tasks. If you are organized from the start, you should be able to find more minor, but time-consuming tasks to delegate. The more you delegate, the more you can focus on the most important part that makes your wedding truly remarkable.
