Google’s online collection of office applications, Google Docs, can do pretty much anything those pricey Microsoft Office apps like Word and Excel can. You can even use Google Docs to edit Office files, or vice versa. Plus, with Google Docs, you get to store your documents and spreadsheets online, where it can be accessed from anywhere you’re on the net. Hey, kind of like your wedding website!
Recently, the creative forces at Style Me Pretty collaborated with Google Docs to create a collection of planning templates, which you can access and use for free to help plan your big day. Available are templates like Music List, Wedding Day Schedule, Hotel Blocks, Choosing a Photographer, and more.
To access the templates, just log into Google Docs (docs.google.com), and perform a template search for the keyword “wedding“. Look for templates from “Google Docs & Style Me Pretty”
Perform a template search for "weddings" in Google Docs to access the templates
Search results display listings like this one for a wedding day schedule
View a sample of each document or use it directly for your own planning. This is part of a spreadsheet designed to help you plan and manage your florist choices.
Need to have more than one person work on a document? With Google Docs, you can email the document to a list of people who can then directly edit it, in a collaborative fashion. You can use spreadsheets to collect guest information and import them into your WedShare Guest Manager if you prefer that route over WedShare’s built-in Address Book. Or post schedules and other documents on your website–even embed them into your pages–for guests to access.
Lots of possibilities. Check out the templates and see if they can be helpful in your own planning.
