Tip of the Day: It's essential to create an organization system for all of the wedding paperwork that you receive so that you can prevent any wedding disasters or unnecessary stress. Save your files to external drives and the cloud to ensure that even if your computer crashes or a file gets corrupted somehow, you still have a way to retrieve all of the essential planning details (including your RSVPs).
You may also want to consider saving important emails from vendors to a flash drive as well. Since you may be visiting lots of different websites as you do wedding research, and since some Pinterest pins have been known to carry viruses, it's better to be safe than sorry.
