Modern weddings are more complicated than they used to be. Serious planning is needed to accomplish all tasks and convert expectations to reality, especially when planning a DIY wedding. Planning a wedding on your own can be hectic managing all the bookings, suppliers, guest lists, to-do lists and budgets on a daily basis. Fortunately there are online wedding planning tools that are designed to make your life easier. Most of these tools include a budget tracker, guest list and check list, and more tools are available with premium plans.

Today’s weddings rely heavily on online planning, but having the right kind of online planning tools is an advantageous time saver. Often, choosing the correct planning tool is dependent on the needs of the bride and the groom.

Not all online planning tools are optimized to work across all digital platforms, such as Android and Apple iPhone (iOS), which is why finding the right planning solution is important. It is important to remember that although planning through a mobile-only app can be handy, some things are still easier on a bigger screen. Choosing a tool to customize your notifications that can sync your plans and connect them to a personal calendar or email (such as Outlook, Google Calendar, or even Asana) will help you to stay updated, informed and on track of all critical information.

Many online wedding planning tools offer free services but it is important to be mindful that there can be tradeoffs. Some free tools may not be as comprehensive as those that charge a nominal fee. A great online wedding planning tool is definitely going to enable you to do more by providing the necessary tools to assist you in planning your big day.
