Useful Wedding Planning Websites For Every Type Of Couple
There are a multitude of tools out there to help you plan your wedding, which is great, but which ones are more helpful than others? Wedding planning can be a complete minefield, and seeing as everyone has different views on organization, there’s no single universal tool for everyone when it comes to planning a wedding. First you should sit down and work out how you want to plan your wedding. Are you more of a super-organised type who loves spreadsheets and ironing out every little detail ahead of time? Or are you more laid back and prefer to take things as they come?
There are so many digital tools out there to help you plan your wedding, and some may be more beneficial to you than others. In this blog I have researched a huge amount of planning sites and determined which ones would be more helpful to you, depending on how you want to tackle your wedding planning. Whether you are super organised, chilled out, planning a DIY wedding or want someone else to do the planning for you, there is a tool for you!
Are You Super Organised?
Are you the type of person (like me) who wants to be in control of every detail from the get-go and loves a good spreadsheet? Then these websites may be useful to you. These sites will help you plan every aspect of your wedding, offering you tools such as spreadsheets, checklists and online guest lists, as well as directing you to pages that can offer you inspiration too.

Are You Super Relaxed?
If you are the type of person who’s a bit more care-free and prefers to take everything as it comes, then the sites that help you go over every little detail may not be as beneficial. Instead it might be more helpful for you to look at sites that simply offer inspiration and you can take it from there; you may also benefit from sites that have wedding forums so you can discuss ideas with other brides too.

Want Someone To Take The Reins For You?
Wedding planning can be stressful, and whilst some love it, there are equally those who dread the idea. If you are in the latter group then hiring a wedding planner could certainly help ease your stress. If you are conscious about saving money though, there are also a lot of sites and forums that offer emotional support during the planning process. Alternatively you can ask family and friends to help with parts of the planning too!

This list is by no means exclusive, and there are a great many tools out there at your disposal; these are simply the sites, apps and blog posts that I found personally helpful when I was planning my own wedding (lots of which were recommended to me by other brides too!). So go explore through them and see what works for you.
Happy Planning!
