The Five Wedding Planning Apps My Couples Are Loving!

Many challenges come with planning a wedding. You need to pick the perfect venue and a dress. It is vital to make sure you are sticking to a budget as well. Also, you need to stay as organised as possible to avoid missing key details. 🧡There are so many wedding planning apps available these days, that it can be hard to know which ones to choose.

But do not worry – I’ve got you covered! By asking my newly married couples which apps they loved the most, and here are their top five picks. Whether you are looking for a budget planner or a seating chart tool, these apps will help make your wedding planning easier and more fun. So, check them out and get started on your big day!

WedSites 💍

Wedsites is an all-in-one project management app because let us face it…there are lots of decisions that go into planning a perfect wedding and you do not need notebooks and spreadsheets everywhere…. taking over your life! You can use Wedsites to communicate with your guests and suppliers in one spot and it also allows guests to RSVP online.

Inside the platform, there are also lots of planning tools to keep you on track with your wedding-related tasks, budget spreadsheets, invoices and more. 💜There is also a handy feature where you can invite your partner and wedding party to collaborate on tasks and ideas. This keeps everything together and you do not need to scavenge through long WhatsApp conversation threads. Wedsites Lite version is free and covers everything you need for free but if you did need a few extra tools in your wedding planning toolbox there is the option to upgrade to Standard or pro.

LoveStream💝

LoveStream has created a way for couples to live stream their weddings to an unlimited number of guests, without having to rely on Facebook, Zoom or any other confusing, unreliable platform.

Live streaming found its feet during lockdown and is here to stay. Whether you have elderly guests or guests that live on the other side of the world, this piece of genius app ensures they feel part of your day. LoveStream was designed for weddings not meetings so it keeps your guest’s experience in mind and enables you to stream parts of the day or the entire day for guests who may not be able to attend in person.

💛LoveStream was created during the pandemic as a way of getting families together for weddings and it has gone from strength to strength since that time. The creators wanted the service to be “Grandma-proof.” They wanted an all-encompassing, all-inclusive way to live stream weddings that was easier for couples, and even easier for the wedding guests – AND did not cost a fortune. Two years and 500+ weddings later, LoveStream accomplished just that.

Wedding Speech Builder.com 💬

Okay so I must confess that this one is a web page and not an app, nether the less I‘d be doing you a disservice by not telling you about this one.

When you sign up you get unrestricted access to 10,000+ one-liners, anecdotes, quotes, toasts, and pre-written wedding speeches. 📜 All tastes are catered for, allowing you to develop a wedding speech to please Aunty Morag and your best mate Andy in equal measure.
