Wedding Planner Apps UK
Appy Couple
Appy Couple is designed to help you keep track of your guest list. It is a very user-friendly app that creates a personalised wedding website which can be used by both you and your guests.
Instead of contacting everyone individually, you can share information, updates, and timings for the big day in one place, as well as send invites, collect RSVPs and manage the guest list. You can use it on top of sending physical invites too, to help keep track of attendees.
Honeyfund
This app doesn't strictly help you plan your wedding, but it will guide your honeymoon plans, something that can be just as stressful during the madness of wedding planning.
Honeyfund is a registry app that can help you save towards your honeymoon – instead of physical gifts which, let's face it, you may not even want or use, you can specify activities you want to do on your honeymoon. Guests can purchase these for you as gifts, or contribute towards the overall fund.
JOY
Joy is similar to Bridebook (below) in that it's a mega to-do list all in one place. But the difference is that this app is for the tech-savvy, and it can also be used as your very own social media wedding hub.
With Joy, your guests can create their own guest profiles, so people can connect before the actual wedding, and it can be used to share memories and pictures after the big day, too.
Bridebook
Bridebook is considered to be the best wedding app in the world, and it's easy to see why. If you're just starting to realise just how much goes into planning a wedding, don't worry, just download this app. And once you've entered your wedding date, Bridebook will help you sort it all out.
The app creates a customisable to-list with everything that you need to consider, from finding wedding venues and suppliers, to setting a budget and keeping track of your budget. There's plenty of inspiration too, allowing you to browse through a selection of real weddings and get advice and ideas from experts.
Wedbox
From the professional shots to the candid snaps, everyone will want to see the pictures and videos from your wedding. And with Wedbox you and your guests will be able to upload all of your photos in one place. That way, you don't have to search through Instagram or rely on people using your custom hashtag after one too many vinos. The app is free to use, but you can pay extra to download the highest quality images.
