Ask HN: Tools for Planning a Wedding

[feynmanalgo]

I'm planning a wedding and need recommendations for project management tools I can use. At the moment I have set up a Google Sheets with a budget calculations, contacts, Q&A, nextcloud for file storage (contracts, offers etc) and kanban board for task tracking. It would be good to have something more powerful and integrated.

A wedding planner?

Because such people have familiarity with resources and relationships with vendors, they have experience.

Good luck.

I second this. You're likely to make mistakes. Wedding planners sometimes get relationship discounts on certain days things, the same way that tour agencies do, so they might not even be that expensive.

It was enough effort to learn that I tried to set up a wedding planning company after my wedding, only to find that everyone does that and it's not too profitable.

Come to think of it, it would make a good app. There's all kinds of baby shower and gift apps, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a good cheap wedding planner service.

I think we used a combination of WeddingWire and Google sheets for us. I know we had a sheet with a column for each day and what needed to be done that day, and another sheet that kept track of contacts and addresses and RSVPs and whether we sent thank you cards or not, etc.

Doing everything for a wedding is already hard enough. You don't want to fight your tech at the same time. At least I didn't.
