I want to start by saying I am in no way affiliated with this app, nor am I making any money by blogging about it... I just think it's that great!!! So the app is called "Appy Couple" and it's still in it's beta form {which means you can get it now for SUPER CHEAP!}. As soon as I saw this I thought it was the cutest idea for our wedding. :) So... here's some details {and remember, I don't really know that much other than being a new user of the app}.
So this is what you see when you first go into the app. They have TONS of different layouts and themes... I chose this one because it compliments our wedding colors and theme. Isn't it cute!?!
If you tap on the "The Day" spot, it takes you to a countdown... 180 days - AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
If you tap on the "Gallery" spot it takes you to a collage of pics that you upload, friends and family with the app can upload pics too! You can touch a pic to bring up a larger image and caption then flip through a whole slide show.
If you tap on the "Our Story" spot it brings you to cute pages where you have little "Polaroid" pics that you can tap to read about the couple... so far we have "How we met", "Meet Jenn", "Meet Rob", and "The Proposal". So fun!!!
If you tap on the "Events" spot, it will take you to a page of events... this is all we have so far, I'm adding "The Party" {reception} info today and then we'll also have rehearsal dinner info, a dinner get together, and maybe a Monday cookout {it's Labor Day weekend}. Plus you can specify who sees which events, so you can only have people who are invited to the rehearsal dinner able to see the rehearsal dinner link... that way there are no hurt feelings and no confusion!
From the "Events" page above, you can click on each one and add specific info... our guests can now tap right on the "map" button to get a map and even turn by turn directions to the events depending on the device they are using... so nice. You can customize these pages with everything... you see we have our colors on here... you can also add dress code, theme, weather, accommodations, travel, special notes, etc.
If you tap on the "People" spot on the home page, you can see who is involved in the ceremony! We have 3 pages for this... "Team Bride", "Team Groom", and "Little Ones". We have a co-ed wedding party {ie: my brother is standing on my side and Rob's sister will be on his side} so I LOVE that we can customize the titles - not sure how my brother would feel about being labeled a "bridesmaid", lol. From here, you can tap on each person and read a little bio about them... how personal!
Okay, this may sound lame, but this is one of my favorite parts of the app... if you tap on the "Toasts" spot on the main page, you can leave the couple a "Champagne Toast"... the bubbles travel up on this page and I just think it is SOOOOO CUTE!!!
If you tap on the "Registry" spot on the main page, you can see where the bride and groom are registered and even click to go directly to their registry. How awesome is that?!?
A few other things that should be mentioned... purchasing this app also gets you a website with the same features and info for those family members who maybe aren't app-savy or don't have a smart phone. You can also print ADORABLE little cards to send with your invitations showing your guests how to download the app and giving them your app access code. Isn't that too cute!!!??? I am telling you, I love love love it!!! So if you or someone you know is in the planning stages of their wedding, I highly suggest you tell them about this app! You can get all the info and purchase the app by clicking
here! Enjoy and have a great day!!!
*believe always*
