What's the app for?

Because the spreadsheet fiddling eventually got annoying, we needed something better.

The planner grew out of our own wedding planning. It started as an Excel spreadsheet that quickly turned into a monster, so it became a small app instead: tidy, thought-through, made for people who like things in order.

Seven modules, from the first budget to the last thank-you note.

With tips at the points that matter: you'll walk into vendor conversations prepared and know how a budget realistically splits. No prior knowledge needed.

Behind the project

How this came about

After I proposed to my now-fiancée, the topic of wedding planning came up, oddly enough. Right, I thought, there was that … I'll admit my own thinking hadn't gone much further than the proposal. Either way, my impulse response to the planning challenge was an Excel spreadsheet.

After the first sheets for budget, costs, and potential guests, it grew into a veritable monster. When picking vendors came on top of it, my order-loving nature demanded a different solution. That's how the first small HTML app with the planning basics came about.

Our own planning moved along and the planner grew with it, until at some point my fiancée joked: “You could almost sell that thing.” I waved it off, laughing. “Yeah, sure.” … the idea was planted.

With every new feature and every slightly clunky control, the same question kept coming up: do I leave it like this, or do I polish it so that I'm not the only one who can use it? More and more often, the answer became “I'd better polish it.”

Well, the fact that you're reading this right now is a pretty big spoiler for how the story ends. The wedding planner is the first tidyplannery product, and it won't be the last; there are plenty of ideas for more small planning helpers. I hope you find something useful here.

Sounds like the planning you're after?
