Awesome Wedding Planning 
A curated list of software for planning a wedding — seating charts and floor plans, RSVP and guest management, registries, budgeting, websites, and the tools planners use professionally.
Wedding planning is a logistics problem wearing a nice dress: a guest list that changes weekly, a floor plan constrained by a venue you don’t control, meal counts a caterer needs by a deadline, and a hundred small print deliverables at the end. This list covers the tools that handle those pieces, for couples doing it themselves and for planners doing it for a living.

- Table Planner - Browser-based table layout and guest assignment tool.
- Wedding Charts - Feet-accurate floor plan canvas with eight table shapes, 27 venue objects, and CAD/DXF import at scale.
