You woke up at 2 a.m. last night and decided that you absolutely must have those cute little favors you saw online a few weeks ago...only now you can't remember which of the thousands of favor-selling Websites had it. Finding that Website again is even more frustrating than finding a needle in a haystack -- at least the haystack has a finite amount of hay to search. That's why Christa Terry, author of iDo: Planning Your Wedding With Nothing But Net, says that if you're going to do any of your idea gathering and shopping on the Internet, you're going to need a way to manage the Web pages you save as favorites or bookmarks. Spend a few minutes now to set up a file system for yourself. Create a folder in Bookmarks (if you use Safari or Firefox) or Favorites (if you're on Internet Explorer) for all of your wedding stuff. Within that folder create sub-folders for each major part of your wedding: dresses, flowers, favors, and so on. Terry also recommends having a way to mark the things you really super like (versus things that you just kinda like), such as putting asterisks around the name of the bookmark (***gorgeous gowns***). With a basic filing system, you'll save yourself the hassle and frustration of lost Websites. You've got enough to do anyway.
