Have a Fun Wedding With No Alcohol
People choose alcohol-free weddings for a variety of reasons. Sometimes religious beliefs prohibit the use of alcohol. Sensitivity to the needs of members of the wedding party that have issues with alcohol often results in an alcohol-free wedding. People also forgo alcohol at weddings to save on expenses, as the cost of adding alcohol to a catered event adds a substantial amount to the overall bill.

Keep your wedding on track with an organized binder filled with worksheets, contact lists and calendar appointment dates. Save money by creating your own binder instead of purchasing an expensive one that may not be specific to your needs. Feel less stressed by having all your wedding information at your fingertips, ready for you to access at a moment's notice.
