What's inside

  • Start Here

    Your names, wedding date, venue, total budget, currency, guest count, RSVP date and a "due soon" window, plus a short guide

  • Dashboard

    Countdown in days, budget / booked / paid / still to pay, where the budget goes (chart), RSVP and checklist progress, upcoming payments, money out month by month, the menu, and "What needs attention"

  • Budget

    Split your total in % by category; planned vs estimate vs booked contracts, paid and still to pay, with On track / Near limit / Over plan

  • Vendors

    Contacts, contract signed, contract amount, deposit, balance and next payment for every vendor

  • Payments

    Deposit, installments and final balance for each vendor, with Paid / Due soon / Overdue status and a month-by-month view

  • Guest List

    Side, group, invite sent, RSVP, plus-ones, meals, dietary notes, table, gifts and thank-you notes; a "Next step" for every guest

  • Checklist

    60 tasks from 12 months out to after the wedding; due dates calculate from your wedding day

  • Seating

    Tables, capacity and seat dots that warn you when a table is over capacity

  • Seating Chart

    A printable "Please find your seat" page that fills in by itself

  • Soft blush, sage and gold design that looks lovely on screen and in print
  • Built by a data analyst: every number is a formula you can trace
