The h"APPY" COUPLE


People can use their smart phones for just about anything in today’s technology era.  Phones come loaded with apps that can be used for navigation, to locate the nearest Starbucks or restaurant, to browse Facebook and Twitter, and now even to design your very own personal wedding app!

APPY COUPLE is a new app, still in the beta stage, that can be used as a couple’s official wedding site where family and friends can get up to the minute details of their special day.  APPY COUPLE can be used to share information about their up-coming wedding from gift registries, date, time and locations of the bridal shower and other pre-wedding events to the details of the wedding weekend.  You can view pictures of the couple, read their love story, meet everyone in the wedding party and leave your own personal messages.  The app can  be used on the big day as well, to find directions to the venue and for guests to post pictures taken at the ceremony and reception.  What a great way for the couple to relive their special day from so many different perspectives and view them immediately.

APPY COUPLE allows the bride-and-groom-to-be to create and publish their own wedding site without major technical skills. The app provides a variety of features to help the happy couple plan their special day from the minute she says "yes" until they begin their happily ever after.  Some of the features include allowing guests to RSVP to events, check the weather, access hotel information, view the wedding day countdown and make a virtual champagne toast that can be always remembered.  Also, the APPY COUPLE app includes coordinating emails and a matching website, which will display the same content for guests without a smartphone—making the app convenient for everyone.

Because APPY COUPLE is still in the beta stage it requires an invitation code in order to get started. On their site, www.appycouple.com you can request an invitation code, once you receive your code you can begin planning your special day!  Choose from hundreds of designs and pick the one that best fits your personality and atmosphere you want your special day to convey.  Complete each category you'll be ready to send an email link or a provided code to everyone so that they can access your very own personalized wedding app. The app will always be free for guests to download; however in the fall AppeProPo will start charging for the app.  Basic design prices will start around $49, while limited-edition and designer-series app templates will cost between $99 - $200 each. 

APPY COUPLE is available on iPhones, Android phones, iPads, Web browsers and via email invitations.
