It was easy to make the calendar itself using a template in Microsoft Publisher. The program gave us the choice of different fonts and page styles so we could give our calendar a personalized look, and then created the whole calendar for us automatically (if you don't have Publisher, Microsoft Word and other programs also have templates for creating customized calendars). We could then add birthdays, anniversaries, appointments, etc. onto the individual days before printing it all out.

You can bind the pages in a number of ways, from simply using a hole-punch and loose leaf rings (as pictured) to professional binding for reports, available at office supply stores for a fee.
