Features

Everything you need. Then intelligence on top.

Ever & After is a complete wedding planner: guests and households, occasions, seating charts, budget, vendors, venues, and tasks in one place, built for two people planning together, and anyone you invite to help. Nine AI features read only your own wedding data.

Chapter one

The planner.

Correspondence, save-the-dates to thank-yous

Sort your guests into households and track all four mailings: save-the-dates, invitations, RSVP reminders, and thank-yous, sent or not sent for every household. Mark a household A list or B list, and when the regrets come in you already know who's next.

Budget, allocated to spent

Categories with allocated-versus-spent tracking, and every expense logged against one: description, vendor, due date, amount. Spent counts only what you've actually paid, a bill past its due date shows as overdue, and each category reads on track, warning, or overspent.

Tasks, pending to done

Tasks with due dates, priorities, milestones, and owners, plus a ready-made starting list so day one isn't a blank page.

Guests & RSVPs

Unlimited guests organized by side. Track every response, awaiting, attending, regrets, undecided, with filters that make a 140-person list manageable. Premium adds households, meal choices, and plus-ones on each guest.

Occasions, rehearsal to brunch

The rehearsal, the welcome drinks, the farewell brunch, the photo shoot the morning after: each a real occasion with its own date, its own venue, and its own invited list. A date you haven't settled reads "Date TBD" and stays plannable.

Vendors & venues

A pipeline from researching to contacted to booked to paid, with contacts, quotes, deposits, and what's still owed on each vendor. Your venue lives here too; Premium adds more venues to compare.

Plan it together

Invite your partner, your planner, or the maid of honor. Everyone works from the same live wedding, and each invite is view-only or can-edit, so a helper can read without changing anything.

The seating chart

A chart for every room.

The reception hall isn't the only room that needs a seating chart. Every venue in your wedding, from the ceremony site to the restaurant holding the rehearsal dinner to the room the brunch is in, gets its own floor plan, its own tables, and its own bespoke seating assignments.

Draw the room, not a list

Round tables, banquet rows, the head table, the sweetheart table, plus the dance floor, the bar, the cake table, the photo booth. Drag them where they really are, drop guests into seats, and undo anything you regret. A table holds only as many guests as it has seats.

Print what the day needs

Escort cards on cut lines, a "Find Your Seat" list for the welcome table, and a catering report that counts meals and dietary notes table by table. When there's more than one room to confuse, every printout names the room it belongs to.

Seat each occasion from its own list

When a room hosts one of your occasions, the guest list beside the chart shows only the people invited to it, so the rehearsal dinner is seated from the rehearsal dinner's list. The full roster is one click back.

Three AI features live in the chart

Auto-seat proposes the whole room in one pass, and nothing changes until you press Apply.

Seating notes turns "keep Aunt Carol away from Jim" into sit-together and keep-apart rules you accept one by one.

Review chart reads a finished room for split couples, unbalanced tables, and guests who declined but still hold a seat. It changes nothing.

The seating chart is part of Premium. See the plans.

Chapter two

The AI layer.

Every AI feature works only from your wedding's own data, and the AI is instructed never to invent names, dates, or prices. Nine features, every output labeled AI-generated in the app: the six below, plus the three that live in the seating chart, where you need them.

Personalized task list

A task list built around your wedding.

The pain

Every wedding site hands you the same 30-line, 12-month list. It doesn't know you're getting married in five months, already booked the photographer, or that you're skipping the DJ.

The moment

Open your Planning page and choose "Generate Tasks." Add one optional sentence of steering, "backyard wedding, we already booked the photographer," and in under a minute you have a personalized task list with real due dates.

What makes it different

  • Knows your runway: a 5-month engagement gets a compressed task list, not a 12-month fantasy.
  • Knows what's done: skips booking tasks for vendors you've already booked, and never duplicates a task you already have.
  • Flags risks while planning, like "catering contracts should be signed ASAP for a 109-person wedding at 41 weeks out."
  • Review, then accept: uncheck anything, then add the rest in one click.

Seen in live testing In live testing, the task list flagged a test wedding's vendor list saying the venue wasn't booked while its task list said it was, and ranked that the highest risk.

Your focus

Three things that matter this week.

The pain

Planning overwhelm is real: 38 tasks, 6 vendors, 22 outstanding RSVPs. What actually matters right now?

The moment

Focus, an AI feature, reads your tasks, vendors, and RSVPs and puts the three things that matter most at the top of your Planning page. Each carries a one-sentence why, grounded in your data: "7 guests still awaiting a response, and your final headcount is already overdue."

What makes it different

  • When a pick is one of your own tasks, it arrives as a note on that task, in your wording with its reasoning, and one tap takes you to the task in your list.
  • Check the note off and the task is done. Finish the task in your list and the note checks itself off. There is only ever one list.
  • It remembers what you waved off: dismiss something and it won't be raised again.
  • It doesn't reshuffle on you: unfinished items stay word-for-word identical until you finish or dismiss them.
  • Shared: your partner and your planner see the same three items you do.

Seen in live testing In testing, focus items referenced exact live counts and vendor names, linked items carried the real task's own title, and everything still open came back word-for-word identical after a refresh, and new picks filled only the space that had opened.

Budget advisor

Advice that shows its math.

The pain

You allocated the budget months ago; reality drifted. Where's the money hiding, and what's quietly underfunded?

The moment

On your Budget page, choose "Optimize budget." Tap chips for what to protect and what you're open to trimming, add a sentence in your own words, and get concrete reallocations with the math shown.

What makes it different

  • Your priorities are the input: protect and trim chips built from your categories, not a survey.
  • Suggestions never go below what a category has already paid out, and never touch a category you marked protected. Our server enforces both rules.
  • Apply suggestions one at a time, with a net-effect line like "together these changes free up $1,400."
Starting budget

From "is this enough?" to a working budget in a minute.

The pain

The blank-budget problem: what percent goes to the venue? Is $20k even enough for 60 guests?

The moment

An empty Budget page offers "Build my budget." Confirm your total, say what matters most, "great food and photography; keeping decor simple," and get a category split with percentages, per-head math, and warnings where the numbers run tight. Accepted categories appear in one click.

What makes it different

  • Industry-typical shares, bent around your priorities, with the reasoning stated.
  • Leaves a deliberate unallocated buffer and tells you why.
  • Tight budgets get the per-head math: "$333/head leaves little margin, so get quotes early."

Seen in live testing Told "food and photography matter most," it allocated roughly half the budget to those two, kept a buffer, and flagged that no videography line existed, offering the tradeoff instead of hiding it.

Vendor email drafts

Every vendor email, already drafted. Even the awkward ones.

The pain

Composing the same "are you available on our date, what do you charge" email to ten vendors, or the polite decline you keep postponing.

The moment

From any vendor, choose "Draft email" and pick the moment: inquiry, follow-up, booking confirmation, thank-you, or decline. You get a ready-to-edit draft with your date, venue, and headcount already in it. Copy it, or open it in your mail app.

What makes it different

  • Five real vendor-email moments, including the two people avoid most: the polite decline and the post-wedding thank-you.
  • Writes as you: one of the couple, the planner, a family member.
  • Never leaks your private vendor notes into an outgoing email.
RSVP nudge

Chase RSVPs without feeling like a nag.

The pain

Chasing stragglers is the most awkward email of the whole wedding: nagging people you love, individually, weeks before the caterer deadline.

The moment

When guests are still awaiting, a "Nudge RSVPs" button appears on your guest list. One click drafts a warm, guilt-free follow-up with a spot for each guest's first name, and lists exactly who to send it to, emails ready to copy.

What makes it different

  • Tone-engineered to be warm and no-pressure: you're writing to people you love, and the AI is told exactly that.
  • Knows who's outstanding and why it matters: "we need final numbers for the caterer by February 1" gets woven in.
  • Flags guests with no email on file instead of silently skipping them.
  • Logs the reminder against each household's correspondence history when you mark it sent.
Chapter three

After.

The morning after the wedding, Ever & After changes shift.

First, the alarms go quiet

For the first two weeks you're simply married. The numbers stay honest — nothing is hidden or rounded away — but the overdue reds, the warning washes, and the whole language of urgency go to sleep. The ledger line reads: Just married — the ledger can wait.

Then the ledger settles

After that, the top of your wedding stops counting down and starts counting up: thank-yous sent, money still outstanding, what's left over from the planning. Correspondence opens on thank-yous, because that's the mail that's left. Send the last one and the page says so — Every thank-you sent. The ledger closes.

Then it becomes a keepsake

The leftover tasks get one honest choice — finish them, or close the book. When the wrap-up is done, the wedding offers to keep itself: Preserve this wedding as a keepsake. Everything stays — nothing nags. The guest list, the charts, the record of what you spent, all still there. Nothing asks you for anything again.

And underneath it all

The foundation is free, forever.

Unlimited guests, RSVP tracking, budget categories and expenses, vendors and your venue, occasions, and tasks: the complete core planner, no card required. Households and correspondence, meal and dietary tracking, extra venues, the seating charts, and the AI features are Premium, with a monthly AI allowance sized so real planning never reaches it.
