Wedding planning tools · Australia
The planning side of your wedding, kept in one calm place
A checklist that counts back from your date, every supplier with what you still owe, and a seating plan that only shows the guests who said yes. It sits next to your invitations and RSVPs, so nothing gets copied between spreadsheets.
What does a wedding planning app actually do?
It keeps the jobs, the money and the guests in one place so nothing slips. Ours gives you a checklist of about 75 steps spread over the months you have, your suppliers with what each costs and what you still owe, and a seating plan that only shows the guests who said yes.
Because it sits next to your invitations and RSVPs, the numbers flow through on their own: replies fill the seating plan, and the checklist knows your date. Still setting the total? Try our free wedding budget calculator first. The checklist comes with Essentials ($59 AUD, paid once) and the seating planner with Signature ($99 AUD); your website and RSVPs are free on Starter.
How it works
Three things, kept up to date for you
Set your date
The checklist spreads itself from today to the wedding, so a nine-month engagement and a two-year one both make sense.
Book suppliers as you go
Shortlist, mark who's booked, and note quotes, deposits and balances. Each type shows a "book by" date counted back from your wedding.
Seat the yeses
Once replies are in, drag guests onto tables with their dietary needs showing beside their names.
What's in the planner
Suppliers and money owing
Shortlist venues and suppliers, mark who is booked, and keep the quote, deposit and balance due for each one in Australian dollars.
Seating that follows the RSVPs
Only guests who have accepted appear, with their dietary needs beside their name. Drag them onto tables, or tap a guest and then a table.
Plan it together
Your checklist, guest list, website and invitations live in one account, so you're never chasing which version is the latest.
What it costs
What's free and what's paid
The planning tools come with the paid plans, each a single payment for your whole wedding.

An app, a spreadsheet or a planning book?
They all hold a to-do list. The difference is whether it knows your date and your guests.
