Wedding

When someone says, “There’s an app for that,” it really is true. And there are several apps that can simplify your destination wedding, an event that can be even more stressful and planning-intensive than a typical wedding. Hotel reservations, working with a wedding planner from thousands of miles away and even just choosing the location can do that. Here are eight apps that will make your destination wedding easier than you thought possible.

 

 

Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Resort Finder

Choosing a local wedding location can be nerve-wracking, let alone picking one in a far-flung city or country. That’s where this handy app comes in. Answer questions about your ideal destination wedding and a list of tailor-made possibilities will pop up. Expert advice and resort photos are a bonus. (Free; available on iOS)

 

 

Appy Couple

A destination wedding requires near-constant sharing of information with your guests, which makes this app especially helpful. Create an app and website exclusively for your guests using a modern, stylish design template. They even have a section tailored to destination weddings, complete with vintage-map and cityscape backgrounds. (Free; available on iOS)

 

 

Makr – a design + print shop

A destination wedding is a very personal and unique event, down to the choice of location, providing activities to your guests and the vibe of the hotel you stay at. Personalize your special day even more with this app. Create a custom logo for your wedding and put it on T-shirts, tote bags, temporary tattoos and more. You can even add a silhouette of the state or country of your wedding location. (Free; available on iOS)

 

 

PhotoBook™

Sometimes there are friends and loved ones who can’t make it to a destination wedding. It can be disappointing to you and them, but there are ways to make it seem as if they’re right there with you. With this app, create a custom photo book in only two minutes and send it off to faraway people you care about. (Free; available on iOS)

 

 

Romance Travel Magazine

Peruse the digital edition of the one of the leading magazines about romantic travel. Get inspired about potential locations and honeymoon destinations, and it doesn’t hurt that the beautiful photos may inspire a mental vacation. The tips, tricks and advice will be valuable to your planning process as well. (Free; available on iOS)

 

 

KAYAK

The amazing discount travel website has an equally amazing app. Search for lower-priced hotels, rental cars and flights as you plan out the logistics for you and your guests. And saving money on a destination wedding is a wonderful thing. (Free; available on iOS)

 

 

Postagram

The chance of you Instagramming special moments from your wedding and honeymoon is pretty good. Instead of just keeping those images on your phone or on social media, use this app to create postcards to mail to family and friends. Turn your iPhone, Facebook, Instagram and Dropbox photos into memorable postcards, perfect for wedding announcements and holiday cards. (Free; available on iOS)

 

 

Ultimate Wedding Planner
