What to think about for the wedding
- Set a budget early and track every expense against it.
- Book the venue, the officiant and the photographer first. They go fastest.
- Hand out jobs for the day, so the two of you don’t have to coordinate anything.
- Put the schedule in the calendar. Some items can be for certain people only.
- Set up carpools for guests without a car or coming from farther away.
Common questions
- Is this a guest list with RSVPs?
- Not yet. For now Companda is mainly for the people helping you get ready: the wedding party, family and friends.
- Does everyone need to sign up?
- No. People join with just their name, and nobody needs to install anything. Only the chat asks for an email address once, so not everyone with the link can read along.
- Can we keep an eye on the budget?
- Yes. You set the total and see how much has already been spent.
- Can guests set up carpools?
- Yes. Drivers add their route and free seats, and others can join. Rides also show up in the calendar.
