You've found the perfect family planner — now let's make the most of it. The Reggie & Co Complete Family Home Organiser is a 46-page printable PDF, but with a little know-how, you can turn it into a beautiful, personalised 200-page planner that sits proudly on your kitchen counter and keeps your whole family on track.
Here's exactly how to do it — from downloading your file to printing a stunning card cover.
Step 1: Download Your Planner
After purchase, you'll receive an email with a download link — or you can access it directly from your order confirmation page. Click the link to download your PDF instantly to your device.
- On a phone or tablet: Save the PDF to your Files app (iPhone) or Downloads folder (Android), then transfer to a computer for printing — most home printers work best from a desktop.
- On a computer: Save the PDF to a folder you'll easily find, such as your Desktop or a dedicated "Planner" folder.
Open the file using Adobe Acrobat Reader (free to download) for the best print quality.
Step 2: Plan Your 200 Pages
The beauty of a printable planner is that you print as many copies of each page as you need. Here's a suggested breakdown to reach around 200 pages — adjust to suit your family's priorities:
- Weekly Planner — 52 copies (one per week of the year)
- Monthly Calendar — 12 copies (one per month)
- Meal Planner — 12 copies (one per month)
- Shopping List — 12 copies
- Budget Planner — 12 copies
- Habit Tracker — 12 copies
- Daily Planner — 20 copies (for busier periods)
- All other pages — 1–2 copies each (cleaning planner, home info, passwords, etc.)
This gives you a planner that's genuinely useful every single week of the year — not just a pretty binder that sits unused.
Step 3: Print Your Pages
Open your PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader and use the print settings to select individual pages or page ranges. Print on standard A4 paper (80gsm works well for everyday use; 90–100gsm gives a slightly more premium feel).
Tips for best results:
- Print in colour for the full botanical design experience
- Use "Fit to page" or "Actual size" in your print settings to avoid cropping
- Do a test print of one page first to check alignment and colour
- If printing at a local print shop, simply send the PDF and ask for A4 colour prints — most shops can do this affordably
Step 4: Add a Cover
Good news — your planner already comes with a beautiful front cover included! Simply print it on A4 card stock (200–300gsm) for the best result. Then add a plain piece of A4 card for the back cover to protect your inner pages.
- Choose your card: Use A4 card stock (200–300gsm) in a colour that complements the botanical theme — cream, sage green, or soft terracotta all work beautifully. Shop A4 card stock on Amazon.
If you'd like a more polished finish, many print shops offer laminated covers — worth asking about if you want something extra durable.
Step 5: Bind It Together
Once your pages and cover are ready, you have several binding options:
- Ring binder: Hole-punch your pages and use a sturdy A4 ring binder. This is the most flexible option — you can add, remove, and rearrange pages easily throughout the year. Browse A4 ring binders on Amazon.
- Comb binding: Many print shops and office supply stores offer comb binding for a few pounds. It gives a neat, professional finish and lies flat when open. You can also buy a comb binding machine on Amazon if you plan to make multiple planners.
- Spiral binding: Similar to comb binding but with a wire coil — very durable and great for everyday use. Find spiral binding machines on Amazon.
- Stapling: For a quick and simple option, a long-arm stapler can bind smaller sections together.
Why This Planner Is Worth Every Penny
At £15.99, the Reggie & Co Complete Family Home Organiser works out at just £0.35 per page — less than the cost of a stamp. But the real value isn't in the pages. It's in what those pages give your family:
- A calmer, more organised home
- Less time spent searching for information, appointments, and lists
- Better budgeting and meal planning — saving money every month
- A shared family system that everyone can use and contribute to
- The ability to print fresh pages whenever you need them — forever
Families who use a physical planner consistently report feeling more in control of their week. There's something powerful about writing things down, seeing your week laid out in front of you, and ticking things off. A digital app can't quite replicate that.
And because this is a printable, you're not locked into one year's worth of pages. Print what you need, when you need it — whether that's 52 weekly planners or just a handful of meal planning sheets for a busy month.
