2 The Inspiration

Pinterest
Although there are many apps and websites that have sprung up with inspirational
ideas on wedding planning and design — there are none as thorough and extensive
as Pinterest. With over 100 million active monthly users, this app serves as the
ultimate platform for brides and grooms to-be to research themes for décor, out ts,
hair, makeup and even honeymoon destinations. You can ‘pin’ di erent images
to speci c boards, as well as save and share them for that creative stimulus you
need. Prefer to keep these details a little private? You can even create secret boards
viewable to only those you specify.

3 Money Matters

Wedding Budget Calculator

As blessed as we are with parents who often take care of the bulk of our
wedding expenses — this generation’s brides and grooms come more
independent and more opinionated than ever. Some couples now prefer to
spend less on lavish wedding parties and more on travel and mutual funds.
Whatever it is you prefer, there is no doubt that your wedding will incur a
wide range of costs, and Wedding Budget Calculator is an ideal app to keep
track of them all. Hence, you can carefully allocate that precious budget on
details essential to you. Additionally, comparing how much you set out to
pay and how much you actually pay is always a sensible habit to pick up.

5 The Memories

Wed Pics
The biggest days of your lives de nitely deserve all the attention and photos — and while you
are running around meeting all your guests and watching spectacular dance performances from
family and friends, how do you have the time to keep track of all the photos taken? Some are
uploaded on Facebook, others on Instagram and the rest remain forgotten on your guests’ phones.
Well don’t worry, Wed Pics serves as the ultimate app that consolidates all the photos that guests
take from the wedding, as long as they hashtag. The following day, you are able to go through the
app to save or delete whichever you prefer. The photos are also well organised into folders, such as
mehendi, sangeet and phere and so on, and guests can easily be invited to share through email or
Facebook. Send the link along with your e-invitation and you’re good to go.
