The Little White Book: The Ultimate Wedding Planner

What started as a hobby has since transformed into a full-time business for the creator of the little white book, a wedding planner who has helped thousands of couples organize their dream weddings. 

Available at Forget Me Not Journals, this beautifully designed planner has become a staple for engaged couples looking to stay organized and create lasting memories of their special day.

How It All Began

The little white book wedding planner was created during the quiet moments its creator found while working as a lawyer. 

Planning their wedding brought immense joy, and as they juggled a demanding job with the task of organizing a wedding, they saw the need for a planner that was both practical and meaningful. 

What began as a side project quickly grew into a much-loved wedding resource, and today, the little white book is available through Forget Me Not Journals, New Zealand’s most trusted wedding planner.

Featured in publications such as Viva, Remix, Cosmopolitan, Glamour UK, and CNN, this wedding planner has been consistently recognised as the ‘best wedding planner book’ by couples and critics alike.

Why the Little White Book Stands Out

The little white book isn’t just any wedding planner—it’s a unique tool designed to be both functional and sentimental. Unlike traditional planners, it’s the first of its kind to incorporate wedding planning checklists and timelines into a 12-month diary format. 

This makes it easy for couples to not only stay organized but also reflect on their journey as they plan their big day.

Additionally, as couples embark on this special journey, capturing those precious moments becomes just as important as organizing them. 

That’s where Lavender Turner, a highly sought-after wedding photographer, comes in. Lavender Turner, founder of Lavender Photography, is known for her exceptional ability to capture the essence of a couple’s love story in a way that feels natural and timeless. 

Her photography brings a unique blend of elegance, creativity, and heartfelt moments that couples will treasure forever. 

For couples using the little white book to plan their wedding, partnering with a photographer like Lavender ensures that their journey is beautifully documented from start to finish.

Personalisation Options

Couples can now add their custom initials or a special date to their little white book, available exclusively through Forget Me Not Journals. This thoughtful personalization elevates the planner into a truly unique keepsake that reflects the couple’s individuality and love story. 

Whether it’s adding the couple’s initials, a wedding date, or a meaningful phrase, this personalized touch transforms the little white book into a timeless memento that can be treasured long after the wedding day. 

It’s not just a practical tool for wedding planning—it becomes a cherished reminder of the exciting journey toward marriage. This makes it the perfect personalized Engagement Gift, offering something both functional and deeply sentimental.

Why Couples Love the Little White Book

The little white book has received glowing feedback from couples all over the world. 

Described as “Wedding Planning Gold Dust” and “Undoubtedly the Best Wedding Planner Book,” it has been featured in renowned publications such as CNN, the NZ Herald, Cosmopolitan, Bride & Groom NZ, and many others. Here are some reasons why couples adore it:

• The journal aspect allows them to reflect on their love story, adding a personal touch to their wedding planning.
• The 12-month diary format ensures they stay on track with daily tasks while keeping wedding planning front and centre.
• Checklists integrated into the planner make sure nothing is forgotten, from vendor meetings to budget management.

The Benefits of Journaling While Wedding Planning

One of the standout features of the little white book is the emphasis on journaling. Scientific research shows that journaling helps reduce stress, improves decision-making, and creates lasting memories. 

With wedding planning being such a monumental task, writing down thoughts and feelings can help couples process emotions, navigate challenges, and make the experience more meaningful.

The little white book encourages couples to journal their journey, reflect on their relationship, and even think about their vows, turning what could be a stressful process into a cherished memory.

The little white book simplifies wedding planning by breaking everything down into manageable steps. Each timeline and checklist is designed to help couples stay on track, from the first steps of planning to the final countdown before the big day. 

With additional tools like budget and guest list spreadsheets available on the Forget Me Not Journals website, couples can plan their wedding with confidence.

The planner’s design encourages daily use, helping couples manage their wedding planning alongside their everyday lives. 

Whether used as a work planner, a gratitude journal, or a wedding organizer, the little white book ensures that couples remain on top of both their day-to-day tasks and wedding preparations.

A Keepsake for Life

The little white book doesn’t just guide couples through the logistics of wedding planning—it also becomes a treasured keepsake. 

With pages dedicated to recording their love story and reflecting on their wedding day, it’s a personal memento of one of the most special times in their lives.
