Could technology help tame Bridezilla? The founders of ‘Marziplanner’ think so! For a fraction of the cost of hiring a wedding planner, Australian brides and grooms can download this wedding planning software to help them organize everything from their guest lists to their thank-you cards.

While wedding planning software isn’t new, Marziplanner founder Ilka Brookes learned in planning her own wedding that much of what was available was slanted toward Americans. And most of the existing software was rather lacking in style. So, she created her own, capitalising on regional appeal. Marziplanner, a clever play on “marzipan” icing traditionally used for wedding cakes and the word “planner,” is available for download for AUD 99.95. It also can be purchased as a CD-ROM at an additional charge. Customers who would prefer to test-drive first can take advantage of a 7-day free trial period.

Once installed, the software not only allows customers to manage budgets, guest lists, table plans and more, but they can print reports to share with fiancés, attendants or event professionals. The software includes an event log, calendar, task list and a database to record wedding gifts as they’re received. Customers also can get tips and hints that are updated through downloads from the website, and there’s a free e-magazine, full of fresh ideas for anyone planning their big day.

So now, when you have sent out your wedding invitations you will be able to use the software to monitor how many guests have responded and to plan where you would like them to be seated.  So much easier than using up mounds of paper!

The Designer Card Company also offer table plans to match your other designer wedding stationery.  When you know who is sitting where, let us know so that we can put together a professional table plan for you.  They are available in A2 size and can be either mounted or framed.  Prices start from just £45.  Table Number and Table Name cards are also available to match.
