Be A Less Stressed Bride



Bowtie Bags: Planning on making welcome gift bags for your out of town wedding guests? Save tons of time and stress with Bowtie Bags, a new company that will assemble and ship out welcome bags to the hotels that your guests are staying at. Choose what goes inside and what colors for the bags, and they’ll be on their merry way. No more making multiple trips to Costco for chips, water and Advil last minute.

Postable: It will make your life that much easier. Send your custom link and have them enter their addresses online. With the click of a button, create excel address charts, labels, and even send thank you cards post-wedding. It’s genius (and free). Check it out here.

Get a pre-packed emergency kit: Leave the stress of packing an emergency to Pinch Provisions. Their Bridetastic Deluxe Wedding Emergency Kit ($75) includes 101 wedding day essentials like bobby pinks, stain treating towelettes, clear nail polish, a drinking straw, and even extra wedding bands in case you misplace the original ones.

Let Facebook pick your wedding date: Unsure of when you want to get married? TIME created a new Facebook app that measures the median age of your married friends and will tell you when you should get hitched based on this information. The app only counts friends who've listed their birth date in their profile for now, so don’t take it too seriously! Check it out here.

Use a stylist from Weddington Way: If you’re not sure what bridesmaid dress colors or styles to go with, let Weddington Way work their magic. A stylist will personally view your Pinterest wedding page and pull dresses based on your inspiration and present them to you. It’s basically like having your very own (and free) virtual stylist.

Rent your wedding dress: If you’re dying for a designer gown but on a shoestring budget, no worries. Rent The Runway just launched an actual shop within the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. Rent designer gowns from Narciso RodriguezBadgley Mischka, Nicole Miller, Erin Fetherston and more for a fraction of the price (we’re talking $125 to $225!!), and they’ll even dry clean the dress after you wear it. Book an appointment here. You can also order online and pick up in-store.

Uber discount codes for guests: If you’re getting married in a city, use Uber instead of stressing about renting a shuttle. There are always promotional discount codes online, so add this as a mode of transportation to your wed site. Guests will download the app and conveniently be able to book a car wherever they are, so no more trying to figure out 20 different pick up and drop off locations. Read more about Uber here.

Download WeddingSite app: This new UK-based app will help you do everything from stay on budget to manage dietary restrictions from guests. The developers consulted with 54,000 brides to find out what tools they most wanted and used in order to create the perfect app. Download it for free here
