Dedicated Post: 5 Simple Ways Technology Can Improve Your Wedding

Packages
Here at Wedding Snap, we’re big believers that technology can help make your wedding all the more fun and enjoyable for everyone involved, every step of the way. But with so many great new apps and planning tools, how do you keep from becoming overwhelmed? Whether you’re looking to make photo-sharing easier than ever, keep guests informed by creating your own social website and app, or even just gather inspiration and ideas on-the-go, here are five simple, no-stress ways technology can help improve your wedding.


1. Photo-Sharing Made Easy
Ever been a guest at a wedding and dreaded having to go through the slow and tedious process of uploading pictures to an online photo-sharing site afterward? Luckily, you can now make this a non-issue for your own guests by using Wedding Snap, a unique iPhone and Android app that allows you to instantly capture all of your guests’ photos and videos in one place without any waiting or begging. Simply share your personalized album code with guests before the wedding and then see hundreds of photos and videos uploaded in real-time all day long. Guests will love how easy the app is to use, and you’ll love conveniently having hundreds of photos in one place to download, share on Facebook and even have retouched by a professional photographer in the weeks following the wedding.




2. Inspiration Anytime, Anywhere
While it’s definitely still fun to leaf through wedding magazines in search of ideas, smartphones and iPads now also make it simpler than ever to find and share inspiration, whether at home or on-the-go. Pinterest and Instagram are of course great places to gather ideas, along with sites like OneWed and Brit + Co., where there’s never a shortage of creative inspiration. One app we especially love, Loverly Weddings for iPhone, also allows you to effortlessly save and share your favorite ideas, upload photos as you plan, and search by color, theme, style or category. The app seamlessly integrates with Loverly’s website, too, letting you access all of your favorite finds in both places.


3. Mobile Planning Tools
Planning a wedding can certainly feel stressful at times, but with the help of today’s mobile tools, it’s a lot easier to get and stay organized. The iPhone app Fun Wedding makes putting together your reception playlist an absolute breeze. Perfect Wedding Guide also offers a mobile tools app to help with everything from seating charts to guestlists and everything else in between!

4. Social Wedding Websites
Wedding websites are a great way to keep your guests informed, and now, thanks to new platforms like Appy Couple and Weduary, they’re also a lot more social. With Weduary, you can use Facebook to socially connect your guest list and help everyone meet and socialize long before the big day arrives. Appy Couple, available for iPhone and Android, also allows you to keep everyone up-to-speed with the help of your own personalized app that fully integrates with Facebook and Twitter.


5. Same-Day Slideshows
Can’t bear the thought of a traditional montage featuring baby pictures of you and your partner? Switch things up a bit with a more creative reception slideshow. Same-day-edits are a hot trend in wedding photography and videography right now, and Wedding Snap also offers a live moderated slideshow showing off all of your guests’ real-time images. While you and your partner will of course be the stars of the day, guests are sure to love seeing their own photos and faces on-screen, too!
