When working with your groom, as well as with your entire wedding planning team, you can experience a tremendous advantage -- and prevent wedding stress -- by using techno-tools to help you keep organized, connect with your vendors, once again contact that bridesmaid who hasn't paid her dress deposit, and instantly GPS the location of that great flower shop you chanced upon.

Wedding couples have been using technology in various ways, but now there are even MORE ways to cut your stress, plan more efficiently, track down texts between you and a vendor to clear up miscommunication and prevent having to pay a deposit again [a common wedding nightmare.]

I'm loving my new Nokia 7205 Intrigue phone, and I know you're going to want a chance to win not just one, but TWO fabulous new phones...that you can use to call *everyone* from your FREE honeymoon that you've won from Nokia! We have a new contest just for you -- and also for your marrieds, parents, bridal party and everyone else you know -- at www.techsavvybride.com.

Here are some of my top tips for how planning with technology can cut your wedding planning stress:

Wedding Planning Tips

• Share Updates: Allow long-distance friends and relatives to get in on the fun wedding details by posting quick and easy updates to Twitter or Facebook right from your mobile phone.
• Stay Organized: Organization is key to saving money and limiting wedding stress! Your phone can be your ultimate wedding organizer. For example, with the Nokia 7205 Intrigue, available at Verizon Wireless, you can lose the big, heavy wedding binder and access all of your important phone numbers, calendar and images of your dress, your venue and your dream flowers in one light device.
• Map it Out: Use free online mapping sites such www.weddingmapper.com to create your wedding map. This handy tool allows you to create a personalized map of your ceremony, reception, hotels, etc for out of town guests.
• Create your Virtual You to Save Time: Build a virtual model of yourself online at My Virtual Model (MVM.com) to try on your outfits for every bridal occasion. Invite your wedding party including bridesmaids and mother of the bride to do the same. Doing it all online instead of traveling to stores saves time and budget.
• Streamline Your Guest List: Skip the traditional reply cards and invite your guests to R.S.V.P. online through your personal wedding web site. Your guest list will be easy to manage and you can check for updates anytime from your mobile device or at home!

Technology saving you this much time and keeping you organized is sure to make your wedding planning process smoother -- and couples say they love planning together using their cell phones and the websites and podcasts they can access while on the move.

Speaking of podcasts, my new episode of 'Here Come the Moms' just launched at www.weddingpodcastnetwork, so check it out. And get ready to get lucky when you enter the Nokia 7205 Intrigue contest!
