But by using these comprehensive wedding planning apps, you can make the mindboggling task of planning a wedding within the realm of the achievable.
1. The Knot
The Knot is an informational wedding planning website made by power couple, Carley Roney and David Liu, who realized after planning their own wedding that couples need a resource to stay organized when preparing for the big day. For almost 20 years The Knot has helped couples not only stay hands-on, but on budget while planning wedding festivities. [1] The Knot has several tools on their website that help in various stages of wedding planning, the most noteworthy is The Knot's Wedding Budget Calculator. This budget calculator allows you to put in an overall cost that you want to spend on your wedding, which then subtracts prices as you fill in check points like booking a venue or selecting a caterer. This keeps you in “the know” on where you stand with your budget.
2. Pinterest
Pinterest is a classic go-to when you are still in the brainstorming stages of creating your wedding. Pinterest allows you to take 'pins' from fellow pinners or corporations, and pin them to your own 'board,' which then allows you to have a collection of visualized ideas for your wedding. Whether it is venue decorations, wedding cake designs, or color themes, Pinterest has it all. This digital scrapbook is the perfect place to find those DIY plans for your wedding. While Pinterest is a great resource, it's important to remember that there are a lot of unnecessary ideas out there. Be careful not to go overboard.
3. Amazon Registry
Amazon has become a cornerstone in the buying-and-selling experience, making it an obvious next step for setting up your registry. With competitive prices, easy 180-day returns, and 10% off for items after the wedding, Amazon offers the ideal registry experience for the happy couple and their guests. Amazon even archives who bought what, making it easy to send out those “thank you” cards!
4. Appy Couple
Appy Couple is a tool that allows you to create your own website and app that provides your guests to access any needed information about your wedding that includes: members of the bridal party, close family, important dates, RSVP options, and registry locations. Your guests will be able to access it online from home and on a mobile app! The RSVP section also allows you to ask additional questions to your guests regarding any other information you might want such as food allergies or song requests for the DJ.
5. Wanderable
Considerable Wanderable as your registry for travel. If you don't want to take the classic gift registry route, this app is a good alternative. Wanderable allows guests to fund costs for your honeymoon rather than a wooden bowl from Wayfair. The website and app allows you to specify the coverage of certain costs such as transportation, lodging, and even certain activities or outings they may want to do on their honeymoon. Satisfy the happy couple's wanderlust with Wanderable.
Utilizing these apps will make your wedding planning period a breeze! Don't let yourself become bogged down from scattered thoughts and budget confusion. After all, planning one of the best days of your life shouldn't be filled with tears and frustration.
