Bride Groom Guests

The Appy Couple.

As you’ve seen, modern technology has taken the wedding world by storm and we’re lucky to have more and more wedding apps that takes the stress out of coordinating your once-in-a-lifetime event. A couple of months ago, I introduced Appy Couple, the invitation-only wed-app and wedsite that lets couples create a customised app jam-packed with information about their wedding, from the event details to photos of your unforgettable day.

 

Just like many other wedding start-ups, Susanne Dunlap, co-founder of Appy Couple explains that it all started as a “result of Sharmeen’s experience of a huge, chaotic, family wedding in Bombay, and thinking, ‘why can’t everyone have an app for a big event like a wedding?’”. Sharmeen Mitha-Sehgal is the other co-founder of the Appy Couple equation. Fast forward a few months and they’ve already got over 100 beautiful designs under its belt, so there’s sure to be one that suits your wedding theme or style. And on the off-chance you don’t find one that tickles your fancy, you can send them an inquiry about a special colour or theme and they may just create a new design (but bear in mind the design takes 4-6 weeks) based on your request. What sets Appy Couple apart is its functionality and its ability to combine all your wedding announcements and coordination into one platform. The RSVPs that used to be a headache can be managed from the app. You can even add your wedding registry from any registry provider and your guests can buy you a gift with just a few clicks. It’s so user-friendly, you don’t need to be a techie to understand how it all works. All you need to do is drag and drop.

 

Planning a wedding just got a little easier. Want to try it out and see for yourselves how much time and stress the app and wedsite can save you, so you can concentrate your efforts on what’s really important? Appy Couple is offering Bridelicious readers a limited number of invitation codes to join the Appy Couple world. Use the invitation code: BDL7J11 to sign in. Hurry up because you’ve only got 24 hours!
How to join the Appy Couple world:

4. When you’re done, share your unique wedding code with your guests and they can download Appy Couple from the App Store or Google Play. They can then sign in using their email address and your wedding code to join your unique wedding! In case they don’t have a smartphone, Appy Couple also creates a wedding website that looks and works just like the app. No one will be left out.

The Rise of the Wedsites.

The Internet. The modern day technology most of us can’t live without so it comes as no surprise that there’s a plethora of wedding websites aka wedsites that allows couples to share much more than just their wedding location. It’s environmentally friendly as many use wedsites to replace the traditional paper invitations and provides an opportunity for the happy couple to flaunt their adoration for each other, from describing how their love evolved to subjecting you to their photos filled with hugs and kisses. Oh and of course slipping in the snippets of information about traveling to the venue, the registry and possibly a blog to keep the guests updated. Even if you’re not tech-savvy, you can create a stunning wedsite with the help of professional websites whose job it is to make your life easier and relatively stress-free. Bye iWeb. Bye Dreamweaver. Here’s a roundup of some old and newcomers:

1. Appy Couple - Currently free
Whoever doesn’t have a smartphone must be living in the stone ages. Ok, exaggeration but c’mon, keep up with the game. This site is the first of its kind by letting couples create an awesome customizable smartphone app that is beautiful and keeps all guests informed at the same time (you can even tell them you’re stressed out!). Should any of your guests not own a smartphone, you also get a free coordinating wedding website just in case. It’s interactive and allows guests to upload and share photos. Wow them now!

2. Weduary – Currently free (use Facebook to login)
Are you and your beau Facebook addicts? If you are, then this site is just what you need because it’s all about creating a social online platform for your wedding. It’s not only about you but also your guests. They can connect with each other before your big day; perfect for those single friends. Think of yourselves as the matchmaker. The problem we have with Weduary is its reliance on Facebook so all of you, the couple and the guests, will need an account but who doesn’t?

3. Wedding Jojo – US$14.99/month
If you want a user-friendly, customizable wedsite and willing to fork out some money for a stylish and pretty site, Wedding Jojo may just be the one. You can choose from 8 different themes that are colour customizable and password protect your site so only your guests can login. There’s also a free plan available for the budget conscious which provides for limited services.

4. Nearlyweds – US$14.99/month or US$99/year, Free 14-day trial
Again, a simple wedsite builder that offers the technology-challenged couples a platform where they can track their RSVPs, set-up a gift registry and even mass mail the bridal party. Nearlyweds has over 100 designs to choose from so there’s bound to be one design that suits your style.

5. mywedding.com - Free
Too good to be true but mywedding.com has over 600 designs on offer to all couples and it’s free. It’s packed with the same services that other wedsites provide, such as photo galleries, group emailing and you can even order matching invitations. Not only is it a wedsite builder, it’s also filled with abundant resources. Who said there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch?
