One version of the truth
The failure mode of wedding planning is not bad decisions; it is two people executing different versions of the same decision. Collaboration here means everyone opens the same plan and sees the current state, not a forward of a forward of a spreadsheet.
Every change is attributed and timestamped, which quietly ends most ‘who changed this’ conversations before they start.
Seats with real permissions
Access is not all-or-nothing. A seat defines what each person sees and edits: your partner everything, the planner everything but private notes, a parent the timeline and their side of the guest list, a vendor only their own slice.
The permission most couples thank us for: parents who can see the plan without seeing the budget.
Comments where the work is
Group chats flatten every topic into one stream, which is why the catering decision is buried between memes. Comments here live on the thing (this budget line, this pin, this timeline block) and resolve when the question is answered.
The thread is there when you need to remember why you decided; the group chat never is.
Approvals that close decisions
Some decisions need sign-off: the couple on the final menu, both families on the ceremony order. An approval is a formal state: requested, seen, approved. Once approved, the decision is closed and marked, not perpetually reopenable by whoever thinks of it next.
Reopening is deliberate and visible, which is exactly the friction a settled decision deserves.
How many people can be on one plan?
As many seats as the wedding needs: partner, both sets of parents, the planner, key wedding party, every vendor. Seats are included rather than sold per head, because permissions are a safety feature, not an upsell.
Can two people edit at once?
Yes. Edits merge live like a shared document, and conflicting edits (two people renaming the same event) surface as a choice instead of silently overwriting. The attribution log keeps the history honest.
What can vendors see?
Their slice only: their contracts, their call times, the guest counts for their events, boards you shared. They cannot see the budget, the full guest list, other vendors’ quotes, or anything about events they are not working.
