This is where visual inspiration boards come in handy. Sites like Pinterest and Lover.ly are great ways to find, collect and scrapbook all of you wedding likes and ideas


Wedding Photo App

Here's a better option: Apps like Snapable let you create an online album and allow guests to instantly upload the photos they take through a mobile app. It's less expensive, more environmentally friendly, and means you don't have to chase friends and family for photos after the wedding.
 
Online Gift Registries
 
Your first thought when it comes to a wedding registry is probably a big box store. But scanning toasters and tea towels isn't for everyone and limits you to what's available in that particular store. Try an online wedding registry that allows you to add anything from anywhere, or register for cash, and provides guests with a fun way to collaborate on big-ticket gifts.

Wedding planning requires that you and your partner stay organized and communicative. Pair is a mobile app for couples to stay connected and a great way to stay organized as you plan your wedding. Create task lists, keep track of important dates and stay in communication as your big day approaches.

A wedding website is no longer nice to have, but a must have. Luckily, Wordpress has made it easier with customized themes just for your wedding. Set up a free account, choose your favorite wedding theme and customize the images and wedding details, and colors to suit your big day.
