Here's another great tip from Christa Terry, author of iDo: Planning Your Wedding With Nothing But Net. There's a lot of good stuff on the multitude of wedding websites out there, but if you're going to be a big-time browser, you're also going to end up having to register on some of those sites. Registering basically means you're giving your contact information to those companies so they can (and they will) market their products, their friend's products, and their friend's friend's products to you as you plan your wedding and well beyond. One of the great things about the Internet, is you can set up a separate e-mail account (for free) to collect all those "extra" solicitous e-mails for easy disposal. Take the time to visit Gmail, Yahoo! or Hotmail and set up an e-mail account to use when you're registering with wedding sites online. This will keep your regular personal or business e-mail account free of all those spammy ads.

Loved your article...As a bride I totally hate all the extra stuff that bogs you down when planning your wedding. With our big day about 60 days away now we are luckily pretty close to being done with all the major stuff...but for the brides that are still in planning mode - my fiance an I have started a new company (as if we didn't have enough going on with our own wedding!) called Weddzilla.com.
The goal of Weddzilla.com was to cut out all that extra stuff that turns brides into Bridezilla's and just do something that no other place on the web does...simplify the process of planning your wedding. The site is scheduled to launch in the next 2 weeks - you can register now at http://www.weddzilla.com or read about us on our blog! There are some pre release screenshots and a bunch of great wedding stuff at http://blog.weddzilla.com.
Trust me as a bride I know how difficult it is to find the right vendors without getting caught up - we hope that our site is finally the resource that brides everywhere have been begging for for years!!
