Why people choose it
One price, everything in: $19.99 a month, or $199.99 for the year, buys the seating chart, the texting, WhatsApp, 39 languages and card design that the "free" apps sell as add-ons — and Flower Architect comes with it. AI runs on a monthly action-token allowance included with the membership; only heavy use tops it up.
Your cards, your flowers: design in Canva with your own arrangements dropped in, or pick a template, and have StationeryHQ print invitations, save-the-dates and thank-yous.
Your flowers on your invitations, and a solver that seats the room from rules written in plain words: 300 guests in under 10 seconds, as a draft you edit, then prints the place cards and the venue package.
Reach each guest the cheapest way: email, US / Canada text, WhatsApp abroad, free push, chosen automatically with the cost shown first. Consent is collected and recorded per guest, and you see who could not be reached.
Point your phone at the envelope: return addresses and handwritten lists become draft households in seconds, in any script, for you to check before they are saved.
Guests in their own language on every page: 39 languages.
Works with the website you already have: Zola, The Knot, Squarespace, Wix. Link out, drop in the RSVP box, print the QR code.
Plans the whole wedding, not just the guests: an AI budget from what matters to you, venue and planner search, the wedding party, the music, private vows with AI help, hotel blocks and the honeymoon - all in the same price.
Keeps working after the wedding: a keepsake book, a note on each anniversary, and the baby shower or anniversary party starts from the wedding list; the list stays readable for a year if the membership lapses.
What it deliberately does not do
Every product draws a line somewhere. Here is where we draw ours, and why, so you can rule us out quickly if it is the thing you need.
Our own registry
Out of scope by design (ADR 0002): registries are tied to stores. Couples link every registry they have, and the honeymoon fund is paid straight to their own accounts.
All 76 capabilities, cell by cell, inside the app.
Audited 24 September 2026. Every claim above comes from a capability-by-capability review of the competing products; anything we could not verify against a live account is marked as unverified in the full chart rather than counted in our favour.
