GettingMarried is a web service that brings wedding websites, guest-list management, RSVP collection, gift lists, and planning tools together for couples in the UK. Couples can choose themes, fonts, colours, and layouts for a personalised site, which guests can access through a web address or a QR code on invitations. The Guest List stores guest details, assigns guests to events, and collects RSVP and menu choices. Email Stationery covers Save-the-Dates, invitations, thank-you notes, and guest messages. GiftFund can send contributions to PayPal, Monzo, Revolut, or bank transfer accounts without a fee; external gift lists can also be linked. Menu Manager records dietary requirements and allergies for caterers, while Table Planner handles seating assignments and downloads for venues. The Free plan supports up to 75 guests. Essentials is £45, paid once and supports up to 120 guests; Plus is £89, paid once and allows unlimited guests. Free and Essentials use Simple RSVP, which requires manual status updates; Automated RSVP requires GM+ membership. Accounts stay open for three months after the registered wedding date.
