Wedding planning apps charge $30–60/month for features you can get free. Here's how to plan your entire wedding with PlanIt.

The Wedding App Subscription Trap

Most wedding planning platforms gate every useful feature behind a $30–60/month subscription — up to $1,080 for a tool you use once. PlanIt is free. Here's how to use it for your entire wedding.

What You Can Manage in PlanIt

Guest List and RSVPs — create your event, set your cap, share the RSVP link. Guests submit dietary restrictions, plus-one names, song requests. Real-time RSVP counts, exportable at any time.

Seating Chart — drag-and-drop tool, define table layouts, set seat counts, assign guests. Seat 200 people in under an hour. Rearrange without reprinting anything.

Vendor and Team Coordination — add your caterer, photographer, florist, and DJ as collaborators. One messaging channel instead of scattered email threads.

Check-In on the Day — every RSVP generates a QR code. Scan on any smartphone at the entrance. No paper, no confusion, no line.

What PlanIt Doesn't Cover

For a budget tracker: a shared Google Sheet is unbeatable. For vendor discovery: The Knot or Zola. For a wedding website: Zola's free tier is excellent. PlanIt owns the operational layer — and does it better than anything at any price.
