It never hurts to start planning ahead of schedule – after all, a wedding can be an enormous undertaking that involves both of you. Rather than scour Google for some hit-and-miss resources, we’ve compiled what we feel are the most innovative, credible and full-range wedding planning websites on the ‘net.

1. The Knot
   A giant resource for pretty much everything wedding, “The Knot” is a great starting place to gather reception ideas, wardrobe, hairstyles, accessories, photography – you name it. This should be your first stop.
2. Wedding Mapper
   Have guest from out of town, and a couple of locations planned for your day? Build a custom, shareable map that you can simply email, without confusing Uncle Frank or Aunt Ruth.
3. Wedding Paper Divas
   While much of your communication will be done online, to save cost and bring the immediacy of the ‘net to your advantage – nothing says “class” more than a proper, wedding invitation. A tangible invitation is simply more personal, and won’t get caught in your guests “junk” folder.
4. Beaucoup
   Looking for unique wedding and bridal shower favours? Beaucoup has an inventory like no other
5. Cabel on Wedding Design
   Ok, not quite a resource for everything wedding, but a fascinating write up about how self-professed “geeks” decide to take a left turn on their wedding design. Beautiful!
6. Brides.com
   A runner-up to the more established “the knot”, brides.com has great wedding dresses and planning ideas.
7. Wedding Bee
   Follow the blogging activity of 20 real brides spread across the world, sharing ideas, diy projects, research, and their personal wedding stories. 
8. Offbeat Bride
