As Diva Dialogue blogger Katie mentioned last week in her post “Build Your Own Wedding Network on Facebook“, social networking tools have opened up a new world for many in the wedding planning process.  In addition to joining any of the numerous groups available on Facebook, you can also download a wedding planning Application to both assist you in your planning and spread the news to others.

My favorite App thus far has to be Weddingbook by WedSnap.  This widely-used App not only lets you add the names and photos of your entire bridal party, it also features a countdown clock, profile and info page, and a constant feed to the Weddingbook message boards, where you can ask for and offer advice and tips.  Anyone in your network can view your Weddingbook profile or write in your guestbook.

As social networking continues to evolve and gain in popularity, which tools and websites do you find most useful in your wedding planning process?

You might have joined sites like Facebook and Myspace just to keep in touch with old friends and share funny photos of your college roommate with the world, but these fun social networking sites have grown a lot since the days when we all first signed up. With so many great wedding vendors, groups and blogs to check out, you might have to spend even MORE time on Facebook than before! (Hey, it’s a legitamate excuse, right?)

If you are planning your wedding and looking for some great new ideas, check out some of Facebook’s most popular wedding groups–some literally have thousands of members, all looking to share ideas about everything from wedding planning to enjoying your honeymoon and the best ways to spend time together as newlyweds. You can also become fans of Wedding Paper Divas to get special updates and to participate in fab new giveaways!

Here’s a list of our favorite Facebook wedding groups to help you find new inspiration in the online wedding world!

• “Being Engaged Rocks!” has 1,290 members, with nearly 100 discussion topics on everything from honeymoon tips to wedding photographers
• Both “Engaged” and “I’m Engaged and Getting Married” ban advertisers, so you won’t have to wade through spam to get the great tips these groups have to offer
• “Great Wedding Network” has some ads posted on it’s wall, but they are generally really relevant and not too bothersome. Plus it’s a huge group with 1,882 members!
• “All I Want to Do is Talk About Wedding Stuff!” is a super cute group with more than 200 interesting discussion board topics to read through
