We've a couple of other places in mind and trying to bring the list down to top 2 or 3 at the moment. Open to other recommendations also. Thanks ..read more

That might sound crazy for some of you, but together with my wife (we both work in IT industry) we built our own wedding planning tool at the time when we were planning our own wedding 2 years ago. Since very beginning we've had in mind that it could help other couples in a way it helped us - so now, 2 years later when we finally found the time and courage to commit to the gosssal - we did some last touches and now we are publishing the platform. We called our little project (but with high aspirations) Eventioo. As for today - Eventioo is a guest list management tool (with RSVP's) with a t ..read more
