These wedding planner apps will help take the stress out of planning your big day
As wonderful as it is getting engaged to the person you love, planning a wedding can be a huge source of stress.
The to-do list can seem never ending, and let's face it, when you factor in all the other costs of your special day, who can really afford an actual wedding planner? But fear not, because there are some excellent wedding planner apps available to download to make your life a hell of a lot easier. From an easy to use, all-encompassing to-do list on your phone, to an app where everyone can upload photos from the big day, these are our favourite wedding planner apps to take you from bridezilla to bride-chilla.

Appy Couple
Best for: Keeping track of the guest list. Amazing pun game aside, Appy Couple is a very user-friendly app that creates a personalised wedding website used by both of you and your guests. Instead of contacting everyone individually, you can share information, updates and timings for the big day in one place, as well as send invites, collect RSVPs and manage the guest list. You can use it on top of sending physical invites too, to help keep track of attendees.
Cost: Free.
Honeyfund
Best for: Gifts and honeymoon planning. While this app doesn't strictly help you plan your wedding, the honeymoon can be just as stressful to plan, or can simply be forgotten in the madness of wedding planning. Honeyfund is a registry app that can help you save towards your honeymoon – instead of physical gifts which, let's face it, you may not even want or use, you can specify activities you want to do on your honeymoon. Guests can purchase these for you as gifts, or contribute towards the overall fund.
Cost: Free.
Joy
Best for: Creating your own social network. Joy is similar to Bridebook in that it's a mega to-do list in one place, but for the tech-savvy, it can also be used as your very own social media wedding hub. Everyone can create their own guest profiles, so people can connect before the actual wedding, and it can be used to share memories and pictures after the big day, too.
Cost: Free.
Bridebook
Best for: Your whole wedding to-do list in one place. Bridebook has been hailed the highest rated wedding app in the world, and it's easy to see why. If it's hitting you just how much goes into planning a wedding, don't fret, just download this app, make an account, input your wedding date, and Bridebook will help you sort it all out. It creates a customisable to-list with everything to consider, from finding wedding venues and suppliers to setting a budget and keeping track of expenses. There's plenty of inspiration too, as you can browse through a selection of real weddings and get advice and ideas from wedding experts.
Cost: Free.

Wedbox
Best for: Sharing photos and videos. From the professional shots to the candid snaps, everyone will want access to the pictures and videos of your wedding – as will you.
