Introducing Excel Wedding Planner

About a month ago, I got an email from Kevin. The crux of this email is,

I am working on a wedding planner based in Excel. Do you want to collaborate?

I replied to him asking for more details as I got curious about the project. Kevin sent me a work-in-progress version of his wedding planner which blew my mind. Although I have only one wedding experience and even that I hardly planned (as it is traditional for parents to take care of the wedding ceremonies in India), I found Kevin’s planner quite comprehensive, useful and easy.

So we worked on it together (ok, it was mostly Kevin’s work, I just shared my ideas ) and I am happy to announce that we are nearly done.

What is Excel Wedding Planner?

Excel Wedding Planner is a spreadsheet solution for planning and managing a wedding, right from setting up event dates to honeymoon planning, it covers the entire gamut of wedding stuff, all within the familiar interface of excel.

What all things Wedding Planner can do?

Oh, it can do pretty much everything except kissing your spouse at the altar. But the following things, it can do really well:

• Guests: Guest lists, seating arrangements, tables, gifts
• Vendors: Flowers, Music, Photo, Video, Menu etc.
• Finances: Budget, Payments, Summaries
• Things to do: Events, Tasks, Time-line of wedding

Oh, yeah, it also has a dashboard to show the overall progress.

Here is how the home page of wedding planner workbook looks like:

I am marrying tonight, where can I get it?

Two things: (1) What the #$@! are you doing on an excel site today? (2) You haven’t planned it yet?!?

The wedding planner is currently in testing phase. We will be releasing by August 2nd week (14 days from now).

How much does it cost?

The wedding planner comes in 2 versions. (1) FREE and (2) Premium.

Free because we are awesome like that.

Premium because Kevin got married recently and I bought a new car. We need money

The free version has some features disabled (for eg. automatic table arrangement, menus etc.) but it is still awesome and works great.

Update: We are no longer offering premium version. Please download free version here.

How do I get it?

Simple. Follow these 2 steps:

1. Find someone you really love. Propose to him / her.
2. Download the planner below

We will also send you details on premium version by August 2nd week, so that you can pick it up when you are ready to plan for the wedding.

Some FAQs:

• Which version of excel does the file work in?
  Excel 2007. We are working hard to release an Excel 2003 based version of Wedding Planner. But it would take few more weeks to be ready.
• How many weddings can I use it for?
  As many as you can afford to. But we sincerely wish that you don’t have to use it for more than one wedding.
