Guest-ly is the calm place for every guest and every question at a wedding. FOR GUESTS Open your invitation with the code the couple sent you. Find your name, answer for each person and each event, and add everything to your calendar. Ask the concierge anything about the day: parking, hotels, the dress code, the shuttle. Questions only the couple can answer reach them, and their reply lands back in the app. On the wedding day the app tells you where to be right now. FOR COUPLES See every RSVP as it arrives, the questions guests are asking, and the few things that need you today. Answer a guest from your phone. Record an RSVP you received in person. On the day, check guests in at the door with a scan, even without signal. FOR PLANNERS All your weddings in one place: a Today view across them, guest lists, requests to the couple, tasks and, when the agency allows it, door check-in. Propose a change; the couple approves and it applies itself. ON YOUR HOME AND LOCK SCREEN Widgets for the countdown, new replies, today's plan and the wedding day, plus a Live Activity for the day's schedule and the door check-in. FOR BIG SCREENS On the iPhone Duo and in any wide window, lists and records sit side by side. New couples can create their account right in the app and set up their wedding in a minute. Guest-ly is a companion to the wedding service at guest-ly.com. There is nothing to buy in the app.
