Guests & RSVPs
Unlimited guests organized by household and side. Track every response — awaiting, attending, regrets, undecided — with meal choices and plus-ones on each guest, and filters that make a 140-person list manageable.
Features
Everything you need. Then intelligence on top.
Ever & After is a complete planner first: guests, correspondence, budget, vendors, venues, and timeline in one place, built for two people (and their helpers) planning together. The AI layer reads that plan — never generic advice — and it's always labeled, because you should always know.
Chapter one
The planner.
Correspondence, save-the-dates to thank-yous
Group your guests and track all four mailings — save the dates, invitations, RSVP reminders, and thank-yous — sent or not sent for every group. A-list and B-list waves let seats fill gracefully as regrets come in.
Budget
Categories with allocated-versus-spent tracking, expenses logged against each, and an honest status on every line: on track, warning, or overspent. Lock categories you never want touched.
Vendors & venues
A pipeline from researching to contacted to booked to paid, with contacts, quotes, deposits, and what's still owed on each vendor — and venues tracked and compared before you commit.
Timeline & tasks
Tasks with due dates, priorities, milestones, and owners. A standard wedding checklist template gets you moving on day one — free tier included.
Plan it together
Invite your partner, your planner, or the maid of honor. Everyone sees the same live plan with sensible permissions — one wedding, one source of truth. Events from rehearsal to reception, and a correspondence log of what was mailed to whom.
Chapter two
The AI layer.
Prompts are built only from your wedding's own data, and the AI is instructed never to invent names, dates, or prices. Six features, every output labeled AI-generated in the app.
AI planning checklist
Not the same checklist everyone gets.
The pain
Every wedding site hands you the same 30-line, 12-month checklist. It doesn't know you're getting married in five months, already booked the photographer, or that you're skipping the DJ.
The moment
Open your Timeline and choose "Generate Checklist." Add one optional sentence of steering — "small backyard wedding, skipping the DJ" — and in under a minute you have a personalized plan with real due dates on your calendar.
What makes it different
- Knows your runway: a 5-month engagement gets a compressed plan, not a 12-month fantasy.
- Knows what's done: skips booking tasks for vendors you've already booked, and never duplicates a task you already have.
- Flags risks while planning — like "catering contracts should be signed ASAP for a 100-person wedding at 41 weeks out."
- Review, then accept: uncheck anything, then add the rest in one click.
Seen in live testing In live testing it noticed the account's vendor list said the venue wasn't booked while the task list said it was — and raised it as the highest-risk item. It audits your plan, not just extends it.
Your focus
Five things that matter this week.
The pain
Planning overwhelm is real: 38 tasks, 6 vendors, 22 outstanding RSVPs. What actually matters right now?
The moment
The top of your Overview holds the five things that matter most, each with a one-sentence "why" grounded in your data — "7 guests still awaiting a response, and your final headcount is already overdue."
What makes it different
- It doesn't reshuffle on you: unfinished items stay word-for-word identical until you finish or dismiss them.
- Cross-domain: it reads tasks, your vendor pipeline, and the RSVP funnel together — the three things no single page shows you.
- Shared: partners and planners see the same focus list, not per-device copies.
Seen in live testing In testing, focus items referenced exact live counts and vendor names — and after completing two items, the remaining three came back word-for-word identical, with two new grounded items filling the space.
Budget advisor
Advice that shows its math.
The pain
You allocated the budget months ago; reality drifted. Where's the money hiding, and what's quietly underfunded?
The moment
On your Budget page, choose "Optimize budget." Tap chips for what to protect and what you're open to trimming, add a sentence in your own words, and get concrete reallocations with the math shown.
What makes it different
- Your priorities are the input: protect and trim chips built from your categories, not a survey.
- Suggestions respect reality: never below what you've already spent, never a locked category, never something you marked protected — enforced on our side, not just asked of the AI.
- Apply suggestions one at a time, with a net-effect line like "together these changes free up $1,400."
Starting budget
From "is this enough?" to a working budget in a minute.
The pain
The blank-budget problem: what percent goes to the venue? Is $20k even enough for 60 guests?
The moment
An empty Budget page offers "Build my budget." Confirm your total, say what matters most — "great food and photography; keeping decor simple" — and get a category split with percentages, per-head math, and honest warnings. Accepted categories appear in one click.
What makes it different
- Industry-typical shares, bent around your priorities — with the reasoning stated.
- Leaves a deliberate unallocated buffer and tells you why.
- Honest about tight budgets: "$333/head leaves little margin — get quotes early," not happy talk.
Seen in live testing Told "food and photography matter most," it allocated roughly half the budget to those two, kept a buffer, and flagged that no videography line existed — offering the tradeoff instead of hiding it.
Vendor email drafts
Every vendor email, already drafted. Even the awkward ones.
The pain
Composing the same "are you available on our date, what do you charge" email to ten vendors — or the polite decline you keep postponing.
The moment
From any vendor, choose "Draft email" and pick the moment: inquiry, follow-up, booking confirmation, thank-you, or decline. You get a ready-to-edit draft with your date, venue, and headcount already in it. Copy it, or open it in your mail app.
What makes it different
- Five real vendor-email moments — including the two people avoid most: the polite decline and the post-wedding thank-you.
- Writes as you — one of the couple, the planner, a family member. It knows who's writing.
- Never leaks your private vendor notes into an outgoing email.
RSVP nudge
Chase RSVPs without feeling like a nag.
The pain
Chasing stragglers is the most awkward email of the whole wedding — nagging people you love, individually, weeks before the caterer deadline.
The moment
When guests are still awaiting, a "Nudge RSVPs" button appears on your guest list. One click drafts a warm, guilt-free follow-up with a {FirstName} spot for each guest, and lists exactly who to send it to — emails ready to copy.
What makes it different
- Tone-engineered to be warm and no-pressure — you're writing to people you love, and the AI is told exactly that.
- Knows who's outstanding and why it matters: "we need final numbers for the caterer by February 1" gets woven in.
- Flags guests with no email on file instead of silently skipping them.
- Logs the reminder against each guest group's correspondence history when you send it.
And underneath it all
The foundation is free, forever.
Unlimited guests, RSVP tracking, budget categories and expenses, vendor management, and a task timeline — the complete core planner, no card required. The AI features are part of Premium and Pro, with a generous monthly allowance sized so real planning never hits it.
