Planning a wedding or a big party

Guests find the day on your wedding website, and RSVP with their meal on one form. The suppliers, the jobs and the budget are planned together.

The two of you plan in one Magpie team, with room for one more. Guests use the website and the RSVP form.

Guests find the day, the venue and the travel on your wedding website.

Websites is Magpie's site editor. Your website is built from sections, such as the day, the venue and where to stay. You change the words by clicking them.

A button can open the RSVP form. The website can be at a domain of your own.

Website editor in Websites

Guests RSVP on one form, with their meal and dietary needs.

Forms starts from an RSVP form, and you add your questions, such as each guest's meal. A question can show only when the guest is coming.

Every reply comes into one list you can export. You get an email for each one.

Building forms in Forms

The Form builder with Sam and Priya’s RSVP form: a note asking for replies by 1 April, then questions for the guest’s name, whether they are coming and their meal.

Each supplier moves across a board, from enquiry to booked.

Kanban Boards holds each supplier as a card, such as the venue and the photographer. Each card has who is handling it, a due date and To-dos.

Quotes and contracts stay on the card, with your comments.

Boards and cards in Kanban Boards

Sam and Priya’s suppliers board: suppliers to contact, quotes in, and booked suppliers with their due dates and To-dos.

The countdown is on one list, shared between you.

To-dos holds the jobs before the day, each with a date and who is doing it. A reminder can be emailed before each one.

A List can be shared with someone else, such as a parent, by their handle.

Lists and sharing in To-dos

Sam and Priya’s countdown List, shared with Priya’s mother: To-dos with their days and who is doing each, under the line that says who can see the List.

The budget and the seating plan are kept in spreadsheets.

Spreadsheets keeps the budget, with formulas that add up what is paid and what is left. The seating plan can be a sheet of tables and names.

The RSVP list can be exported as CSV and opened in a sheet.

Formulas in Spreadsheets

Every supplier's details and what you agreed are in one place.

Contacts keeps each supplier, with notes on what you agreed. A follow-up becomes a To-do, such as confirming the final numbers.

Search finds a supplier by name, tag or note.
