Add another tab to the homepage...

How did someone plan a wedding without the internet? Seriously... I have used my computer for SO MUCH of this planning stuff! I have a file in My Documents called "_Wedding" (it has the _ first so it appears at the top of the list). It is FILLED with folders of inspiration pictures (Engagment, Ceremony, Reception, Details, etc..) half-finished invitation trials, and copies of vendor contracts.

The only thing that I don't like about my folders of pictures is that I don't know where they came from. I look through pictures I found months ago and don't really remember their context on the website. I was thinking I should start saving all of the pictures with a title of where they came from... Then, I stumbed across the best website ever created for brides-to-be: Pinterest.


(No worries, I'm still a WeddingBee-aholic... I just pin my favorite WB stuff on Pinterest!)

So, what is it??? Well, It's a place to store all of your favorite ideas from various websites. Each picture is a link back to the original website, so you don't lose track of where they came from. You can create different "boards" for different categories of pictures. And not only can you pin your own ideas, but you can look through pictures other people have pinned. There's even a Wedding category!

I've gotten so many cool ideas from Pinterest... I'd DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone who's planning a wedding. Definitely worth a look! Oh, and it's free!

And even after the wedding, I'm sure I'll continue to use it.  It's a great place to store recipes, party ideas, and home decor.  Seriously, check it out.  But I'm warning you... you'll be hooked!
