Wedding planning and the apps that can make it easier

As we get closer to summer wedding season, we see more brides stressed over wedding planning. There's a budget to follow, oh so many deadlines to keep track of, and seating arrangements that allow certain guests to sit together and others to sit very far apart. Now that brides are planning in the age of apps, they have some help with the top wedding planning pitfalls.

The top issue is managing your budget and it seems that even those couples who shoot for a higher number still have problems staying within those financial restraints. Wedding Budget is a free app available for iPhone that allows you to enter your budget and expenses and graphically see where you are spending your funds.

Trouble finding the perfect music compilations? Try Fun Wedding on iPhone and you can sort through the top requested songs from 1950's to today. For $0.99 that's not a bad deal.

Can you say Pinterest? This app is free, available on both Android and iPhone, and invaluable for many things, among which are wedding ideas. There are so many ideas on here to make your day extra special that no bride should plan before perusing.

The ultimate wedding planning guide can be found at google.com/weddings. They provide a wedding planner spreadsheet that covers all the "nuts and bolts" for blushing brides. Everything from the venue to the cake to the guest list and music are found within one spreadsheet that can be housed on Google Docs and then shared with your maid of honor, bridesmaids, and mothers of the bride and groom to help with the planning process.

Although we know wedding planning can be stressful, this is also a happy time for couples and the anxiety should be kept to a minimum if at all possible. These apps may be able to help you accomplish that.
