Yes! Track your budget by category (venue, catering, flowers, etc.) with suggested allocations. The budget manager shows spent vs. remaining, tracks vendor deposits, and provides spending insights.

Upload vendor contracts as PDFs or images. We'll store them securely and track payment schedules. You can add notes, set reminders for payments, and keep all vendor communication in one place.

Our drag-and-drop seating chart lets you arrange tables (round, rectangular, etc.) and assign guests visually. See your floor plan, avoid conflicts, and generate print-ready layouts.

Import guests from Excel/CSV, or add them manually one-by-one. For each guest, track contact info, group (family, friends, coworkers), plus-one status, meal preferences, and more.

Yes! Create custom groups (Bride's Family, Groom's Friends, etc.) to organize your guest list. This makes sending invitations and tracking RSVPs much easier.

Guests RSVP through your wedding website. You can collect dietary requirements, song requests, and custom questions. RSVPs automatically update your guest list and headcount.

Absolutely! Mark which guests are allowed a plus-one. When they RSVP, they can provide their guest's name. Plus-ones are automatically included in your headcount and seating chart.

Not at all! Our wedding website builder is completely no-code. Choose a template, customize colors and content with our visual editor, and publish with one click.

Your story, event details (ceremony, reception), travel & accommodations, registry links, RSVP form, photo gallery, and more. Everything is mobile-responsive and looks beautiful.

Free and Premium plans include a subdomain (yournames.ourvows.app). Premium+ ($129) lets you connect a custom domain like www.sarahandjohn.com.

Yes! Your website includes a built-in RSVP form. Guests can confirm attendance, provide meal preferences, request songs, and more. All responses sync to your guest list automatically.

Link to registries at any store (Amazon, Target, Crate & Barrel, etc.). Your wedding website shows all your registries in one place, making it easy for guests to find and shop.

Yes! Create cash funds for specific purposes (honeymoon, home down payment, etc.). Guests can contribute any amount directly through your registry.

Standard payment processing fees apply (typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). This covers credit card processing costs. The rest goes directly to you.

Yes! Mark which gifts you've sent thank-you notes for. This helps ensure you don't forget anyone and keeps you organized after the wedding.

Absolutely. We use bank-level encryption for all data. Your vendor contracts, guest information, and payment details are stored securely and privately.

By default, only you and your partner can see your planning data. Your wedding website can be public or password-protected (your choice). Vendor contacts you share timelines with can only see what you explicitly share.

Never. Your wedding data is yours alone. We don't sell, share, or monetize your information in any way.

You keep access forever! Many couples love having their wedding data, photos, and memories preserved. You can export or delete your data anytime.
