Planning.Wedding vs WeddingDonkey

Planning.Wedding is an online wedding planning platform for couples, families, and professional planners. Its tools include guest lists, RSVPs, a website, checklist, budget calculator, itinerary, timeline, vendor directory, seating charts, stationery, notes, and a guest photo album. Partners, family, and friends can work on a project in real time without accounts, with project updates stored in the cloud and synced. The website builder offers customizable templates, drag-and-drop sections, RSVP forms, password protection, and widgets for event details, travel, accommodation, FAQs, and registries. Couples can use a free custom URL and QR code in one of three domain formats, or connect a custom domain. RSVP responses connect to the guest list for managing attendance, plus-ones, VIP events, and reminders. Android and iOS apps share projects across devices. Basic is free; Premium costs $29, paid once, billed per project. The terms say active projects and their content are removed one year after the last update, and archived projects after five years.
