Free tools to plan your wedding

Almost every wedding decision flows from one number: how many people are coming. Venues are priced by capacity, caterers by headcount, invitation printers by quantity. Before you book anything, sit down with your partner and use the free guest list tool to draft the names. It is fine to draft a "wide" version and a "narrow" version — the goal is to land on a realistic range so the rest of the planning has a solid base. Tag each guest by side (yours, theirs, both) and group (family, work, university) — those tags become useful again when you do the seating plan five months later.

Invitations should reach guests 8–10 weeks before the wedding (longer for destination weddings). That means the text is locked in around the 4–6 month mark. The invitation text generator gives you four polished variants in five seconds — pick a tone (formal, casual, religious, civil, destination) and the tool fills in your names, date and venue. Send the variant you like best to your designer or paste it directly into the invitation card. Couples sending digital invitations skip the printing step entirely and use the same text inside their Yeslovey wedding website.

The seating plan is the planning task most couples dread, and the one our users tell us takes the longest. Use the drag-and-drop seating plan tool when RSVPs start coming back — typically 6–8 weeks before the wedding. Pull guests directly from your guest list (we are working on the import; for now copy the names across), drag them onto round, long or rectangular tables and rearrange until family politics are happy. Save the link and share it with the venue and the catering coordinator so they can confirm the layout works in the real room.

Personalized wedding vows are the most emotional moment of the ceremony — and the easiest one to leave for the night before, which always ends in panic. Block off an hour around four weeks out and use the wedding vows generator to get three drafts based on your story and the tone you want (romantic, funny, emotional, brief). Edit the draft you like, read it out loud at least three times in the days before, and print it on a card — never read from your phone at the altar. The generator is a starting point; the final version always has your touches.

By the time the day arrives, the four tools have done their job. Your final guest list goes to the planner. The seating plan is printed and on display at the entrance to the banquet. The invitation text is on every card guests received weeks ago. The vows are on a small card in your jacket. What is left is to enjoy the day — and if you built a wedding website with Yeslovey, your guests already have the timeline, the gift list and the photo gallery in their pockets.

We are the team behind Yeslovey, a wedding website builder used by thousands of couples to manage RSVPs, gift lists, photo galleries and more. We built these free tools because the problems they solve — guest lists, seating, invitation wording, vows — are problems every couple has, regardless of whether they end up using a wedding website. If they help you on your planning, great. If you also decide to build your wedding website with us, even better.
