Free Planning Tools
The checklist, budget, guest list, seating chart and your own wedding website. Free forever, no credit card, and you do not have to hire us to use them.
Everything you need, whether you hire us or not
We built these because couples who plan well have better events, and because a planner is not in everyone’s budget. There is no upsell inside them.
Smart Checklist
Tasks timed backwards from your date, adjusting automatically as things move. Tick off, reassign or add your own.
Budget Tracker
Set a total, allocate it across categories, and track your estimates against what you actually commit. Flags the categories that are drifting before they become a problem.
Guest List & RSVP
Addresses, meal choices, dietary needs, plus-ones and accessibility requirements in one sheet that exports straight to your caterer.
Seating Chart
Drag-and-drop tables with real dimensions. Flags the people you marked as "keep apart" before they end up side by side.
Wedding Website
Your own page with the schedule, travel details, registry links and RSVP collection. Twelve designs, your own domain if you want one.
Digital Invites
Save-the-dates and invitations that match your website, with delivery tracking and automatic reminders for non-responders.
Where the money usually goes
A sensible starting split before you adjust for your city and your priorities. Move money toward the two or three things you will actually remember, and cut hard on what guests never notice.

What to do, and when
Rather hand the whole thing over?
The tools are free and always will be. But if the spreadsheet has stopped being fun, that is what we are for.
