Wedding Planning Software To Plan Your Own Wedding
September 5, 2008
Is that big day coming the one you’ve dreamed of your entire life, your wedding day. You want everything to turn out just the right way, the way you always dreamed it would. How can you be sure that everything will go smoothly? You could spend a big bucket of money on a wedding planner, or spend a few bucks on wedding planning software to make it all go a lot smoother.
Software that covers every little detail, including ones that you might not have thought of on your own is invaluable when you’re planning your wedding. Think about it managing, your invitations, budget, RSVP’s and more. You’ll know at the click of a button who is coming, who has declined the invite and more.
Wedding planner software can literally turn the mundane tasks of planning your wedding into something that is almost enjoyable. Think about this just a moment, addressing invites takes a lot of time, what if a piece of software allowed you to import your data from another windows application then ensure you addressed them all correctly if your holding a traditional wedding. Many people don’t realize it but if you’re going to be following a traditional wedding then there are right an wrong ways to address the invitations to different people.
How about the wedding gifts, keeping track of who is bringing and giving what saves you a lot of duplication of effort after the wedding. Sending out thank you cards couldn’t be easier then just clicking a button to address them all, print out what the guest gave you then sign and send out.
How about the remaining parties in the wedding, the groomsmen, bridesmaids, caterer, photographer. All of these peoples contact information should be at immediate access to you, especially when the date is getting close. Wedding planning software keeps it all organized and planned in one easy to follow place. A detailed list of what each person is taking care of, and what duties they have. This can be very helpful again when planning a traditional wedding where different members of the wedding party have responsibilities.
If you or someone close to you has ever planned or been involved in the planning of a wedding before then you know just how much time it can take out of you. If you have never been involved in the planning process, then just take our work for it that wedding planning software is a smart way to go about making the experience as smooth as possible.
Most software will give you simple tips on doing things you likely haven’t done before such as hire a photographer, or caterer. Asking the right questions before the reception or wedding means less surprises on the day of.

Can someone recommend a good wedding planning software program?
I'd especially be interested in something that has online access and/or that deals with destination wedding planning, but they're not priorities.

there is a really good book that you can buy on amazon.com called "FabJob Guide to become a wedding planner" It comes with a cd with all the forms you need to start up your own business and although it is a book (not a website) it is very informative and has everything you need to know. They have a website if you type in the name of the book so you can check it out. It is well worth it, I couldnt find anything that compared and had the amount of information that the book did. There are wedding planning websites, but I believe someone above already posted those. Hope this helps.

http://www.guestrx.com is a wonderful program for keeping your guest lists straight, keeping track of addresses and who has sent in RSVPs, as well as gifts recieved and thank you cards sent. If you are having arranged seating at your wedding, it will also help you with that. We bought it at a bridal show and it was the best planning tool I bought
Best part is you can use it for other things as well, Christmas cards, baby showers, ect
