Wedding Bells

In honor of my best friend getting married this weekend, I have decided to dedicate this post to wedding and party apps. Yes, I know what you're saying.
Weddings? There's an app for that?
There's an app for that.
Several, in fact.

For the Bride:

Loverly is like a Pinterest purely devoted to weddings. Called the "first ever wedding search engine", you can click on images and look through individual pictures one-by-one to add to "bundles" that you make for different categories (such as Decor, Dresses, Flowers, etc.). WARNING: it is every bit as addictive as Pinterest. And come on, you know you mostly use Pinterest to look at wedding pictures anyway.

Wedding Dress Lookbook, created by the all-knowing website, TheKnot.com , lets you pick your body type, size, personality typ and your best feature, and then will recommend dresses via your choices. An app that chooses your dress for you? Count me in!

Gift Registry 360 is a very easy-to-use registry app. Simply scan the barcode of the item you want to add to your registry via the barcode reader built in to the app. It syncs with GiftRegistry360.com so that your guests can easily look online or their app for your registry. Simple!

Appy Couple is the best and most comprehensive wedding app I have seen so far. Create your own wedding app by choosing from a multitude of themes that best fit your wedding. Add a photo timeline and personalize the app, complete with hotel and flight information, maps and RSVP details. Then send the invites out to your guests to download the Appy Couple via their iPhone or Android devices, and they will receive your "Wedding Code" that they use to login to your personal wedding site. Guests can then get all your information, including the wedding party details, as well as add their own pictures and stories and send an electronic "toast" your way.

Wedding Party is somewhat like Appy Couple. It allows you to create a "wedding app" that guests can download and add their own pictures and stories. Wedding Party includes downloadable place cards and posters that you can put on tables and around your reception that have the download information for your app. People will be able to document your wedding for you.

For guests:

Takes is an app that I recently learned how it works, and let me say, it is awesome. When you take snapshots with this app, it will allow you to turn them into a short movie and add your own music. What better way to surprise the bride and groom than with a short clip of the highlights of their night?

Tie Right: Hey men, don't know how to tie your tie for that swanky wedding you're going to? Here you go. You're welcome.

And for the groom: 

RememberWhen is an app that allows you to put in all your important relationship dates, so that you never miss an anniversary, birthday or holiday. It adds all the dates automatically into your iOS calendar and will send you a notification so that you will never forget and never have to sleep on the couch.

P.S. For those of you that love browsing websties, check out OnceWed, my favorite wedding website. And Congratulations to my best friends, Francesca Pefianco and Jordan Price on their upcoming nuptials. Mazel Tov!
