What a wedding website does not do

A wedding website is for your guests. It holds the date, the venue, the registry, and the RSVP form. Guests visit it, reply, and look up what time to arrive. The big wedding website platforms do this well, and if you need one, get one.

But a wedding website answers your guests' questions. It does not answer yours.

The questions a wedding website cannot answer

Is this still affordable? Your guest list grew by fifteen. Catering is priced per head. Nothing on your wedding website knows that, because your budget is not on your wedding website.

What did we agree to? The photographer's contract is a PDF in your email. So is the venue's, and the florist's. When the deposit is due, what happens if you cancel, and whether anyone is contractually required to show up if it rains are all in there somewhere.

What is not covered? You rented three rooms. One of them is getting flowers. Nobody wrote down what is happening in the other two, and you will find out in August.

What did we forget? Not the big line items. The delivery fee, the overtime clause, the second cake stand, the tip you did not budget for. They arrive one at a time and none of them is big enough to notice.

Where the planning actually lives

For most couples, it is a spreadsheet. Sometimes several. A guest tab, a budget tab, a vendor tab, and none of them talk to each other, so changing the guest count means remembering to change the catering line, and remembering is the part that fails.

For couples with a planner, it lives with the planner. That works until you want to check something yourself, and then you are asking someone else what you agreed to.

What Vow does instead

Vow is the planning underneath. Guests, vendors, contracts, budget, seating, timeline, all in one place and connected to each other.

Your headcount is your actual list, so changing it moves the catering estimate. Your contracts get read, so what you owe and when becomes a payment schedule instead of a PDF. Your rented spaces are tracked, so a room with nothing assigned to it is a question Vow asks rather than a thing you discover.

Use a wedding website for your guests. Use Vow for everything you have to keep track of.
