We’ve got everything you need to organize every aspect of the big day. This is the ultimate list of wedding apps to digitize your entire wedding planning process.

Essential Wedding Apps.

Like just about everything else in life, smartphones and tablets are taking over. Gone are the days of writing guest lists on paper and losing it later, trying to get inspired by tearing up magazines or begging your mom for aunt Grace’s address.

There are literally hundreds of wedding apps on the market and each one can help make life a little easier for brides. Having apps for planning a wedding isn’t in itself all that exciting unless you can get more productive and save yourself time and/or heartache. Browsing wedding dresses on the bus on the way to work or creating your wedding website using an app like Weebly while watching TV can really help reduce stress and get more done.

We reviewed all the wedding apps we could find. Overall, we included only the best wedding apps, basically the ones we found to be genuinely useful. We’ve included a bunch of other apps that aren’t necessarily wedding apps, but you will see how they can be used in the wedding planning process.
