Congratulations on your engagement! One of the happiest stretches of your life is ahead. And one of the busiest. The app takes on the busy part: everything that usually scatters across notes, group chats and spreadsheets lives here instead, where none of it gets lost. INVITATIONS AND YOUR WEDDING WEBSITE Pick a template, add your photos, your names and the running order for the day, and you have a page your guests can open from a link. There is nothing for them to download. Guests reply inside the invitation: whether they're coming, who they're bringing, what they eat and drink, whether they need a lift and where they're staying. You watch the answers arrive instead of collecting them out of a dozen chats. If the date or the venue changes, fix it once. Every guest's copy updates itself, and there is nothing to send again. GUEST LIST Who's invited, who's said yes, who's declined, all on one screen. Sort guests into groups: family, the groom's friends, the bridesmaids. Everyone gets a card with contact details, dietary notes and a plus-one. CHECKLIST A ready-made plan laid out by time: a year out, six months out, a month out, and the wedding day itself. Every task comes with a line on why it matters and when to start it. Edit it freely, because no two weddings are the same. BUDGET Costs by category, planned vs actual, marked as paid. At any point you can see what you've spent and what you have left. SEATING Arrange the tables, seat your guests, print the place cards. Share the finished plan with your planner and the venue manager, or export it as a PDF. STYLE AND PALETTE If you don't have a look yet, build one here. Choose a style, pick your colors, gather ideas on a mood board and see how they sit together. WEDDING PHOTO ALBUM Collect your guests' photos in one gallery: put a QR code on the tables, and guests upload straight from their phones with nothing to install. The shots appear in your album as they happen. BRIDE CHAT A community of couples planning their weddings right now. Ask questions, recommend vendors and borrow ideas from other couples' experience. DRINKS CALCULATOR Work out how many drinks to order for the reception, so you neither overspend nor run dry halfway through the evening. COUNTDOWN WIDGET Put a wedding countdown widget on your home screen and watch the days tick down. Pick the background, the colors and the layout. VENDORS AND VENUE Keep every vendor in one place: venue, caterer, photographer, florist, band and host. Store contacts, quotes and what you have agreed, and mark who is booked and who you still need to choose. TOGETHER Plan as a couple or as a team: both of you, the bridesmaids, your planner. Everyone sees every change straight away. AND MORE Wedding day timeline, banquet menu, playlist, guest book and gift list. SUPPORT Write to us any time. A real person answers, usually within the hour. And if something is missing, say so: a lot of what is here arrived because a couple asked for it. WHAT IT COSTS Start free, no card required. The trial opens everything up. After that, stay on the free version or unlock a paid pack. It isn't a subscription. No auto-renewal, no repeat charge: you pay once through the App Store, and it lasts the whole engagement plus a month after the wedding. Download Wedding Planner & Invitations and start today: calmly, without the rush, and actually enjoying it.
