The whole world is working online these days (ourselves included) and while you may still want to stick to traditional routes for some of your preparations, you can do a lot of your wedding planning digitally now and we’ve got some of the top wedding apps that you should download when planning your wedding.
This app is solely dedicated to your wedding. You can add your story as a couple for your guests to read, introduce your wedding party, send out all the details of the wedding from the time and location to what to wear. Guests can also RSVP on the app and you can add your gift registry.
This is the perfect app for taking the stress out of one of the most tedious tasks: making the table plan. Here you can choose your table type and add the number of seats. You can import your guest list from a word doc or excel file and simply drag and drop them until you’re happy.
Save yourself the hassle of calling family members and friends over and over again to get addresses. With Postable you can set up your free account and create an online address book that your friends and family fill up themselves. You can then export the whole thing and print out your labels. Easy-peasy!
This app is perfect for getting your hands on some great wedding pictures without having to wait for your professional photos or chase people down to get them printed. It’s your wedding, why should you have to chase the photos? Wed Pics is a free photo sharing app specifically for you and your wedding guests. Once you give your guests the ID, they can download the app and upload pictures to their hearts’ content. Those with older mobiles or digital cameras can always upload them later.
Okay, so not technically an app, but definitely an essential planning tool to get you excited. Sign up to our My Wedding section to access your personal interactive budget tracker. Personalise your own to-do list and give yourself time frames for when they should be done. If there are any outstanding or overdo tasks, you'll see them. You can also create your own inspiration boards and save your favourite dresses, flowers and anything else on S&P Weddings that takes your fancy. You can even create your own weddings website and send the link to your guests so they know the plan for the big day.
