Where was Google when I got married?

Granted, Google was, of course, around when I got married, but they certainly didn’t have all the neat products that they do now. One of those handy tools is Google documents–their free online version of Microsoft’s well-known Word, Excel, etc. I love using Google docs simply because everything is automatically saved and stored online, accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. I don’t know about you, but emailing yourself documents just so that you have an online copy is a major pain…and if you’ve ever experienced the horror of accidentally closing a Word document without saving your changes (that you’d been working on for five hours and needed to have finished by the next morning so you could turn in your college senior thesis…yeah, not that that’s ever happened to me), you’ll understand just how wonderful automatic saving is.

OK, so we all know Google docs is wonderful, but now it’s even more awesome because Google has come out with some great wedding planning templates for brides. They’ve collaborated with Style Me Pretty (a lovely wedding inspiration blog) to create these free wedding planning templates.

I took a quick look through them and was impressed by the selection and simplicity of the tools. For instance, I liked this one for choosing your wedding photographer (not that you’d really need this, though, because naturally, you’ve already chosen me to be your wedding photographer) 🙂 :

And I thought this wedding day schedule is a must (so useful, too, for making sure you get the photos you want):

So, if you’re looking for some good tools to keep your wedding planning organized, definitely check out those templates. I only wish I’d had such useful tools when I got married.
