Wendus is a wedding seating chart, guest list and RSVP app for iPhone and iPad, with digital invitations your guests open on their own iPhone and your venue in 3D. Plan calmly, from the first guest list to the moment the last guest arrives. Seating chart and floor plan • Plan tables from your guest list in one step, with a head table and a seat kept free if you like. • Wendus seats every household, keeps apart the people who must sit apart, and tells you what it did. • Draw the room to scale, start from a listed reception hall, or import the venue's floor plan, then place tables, the stage, the dance floor and exits. • Walk the room in 3D and move, turn or add tables right there. • Seat orders, escort and place cards, and a caterer summary by table. Guest list and RSVP • Bring your list from Excel, CSV, Contacts or a pasted spreadsheet. Guests are grouped into households. • Ask for replies by WhatsApp, Messages or Mail with a ready-to-send message. • Paste a guest's reply and Wendus reads the answer, head count and meals for you to confirm. • Set a reply deadline and get gentle reminders. Digital invitations • Give each household its own invitation link. Guests on iPhone open it in Wendus, free for them, to see the dates, directions, add to calendar and their guest pass, and reply in a tap. • Find Your Seat: guests see the way from the entrance to their table, as a plan or in 3D, with their seat numbers. • Share wedding photos with every invited household. • Replies update your guest list by themselves. Anyone can still reply in the chat. • Invitations and photos are kept in your own iCloud and end-to-end encrypted. Nobody else, not even Wendus, can read them. The wedding day • Finalize the plan, send helpers what they need, and check guests in at the door by name or by scanning their QR guest pass, even offline. • Live arrivals keep every door in sync, with walk-ins, the run sheet and the kitchen's courses. Private by design • No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. • Your wedding is stored on your device and encrypted, with encrypted backups and full deletion when it's over. Explore a complete sample wedding for free. Premium is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, that lets you plan your own wedding for life and can be restored on your devices.
