This is a collaborative post with Svitlana and Erin.

Planning a wedding can be extremely tasking. This applies whether you have an unlimited amount of money to spend, or if you are on a budget. So, anything that can make the process easier is welcome.

Thankfully, tech brings ease to most daunting processes and this is where free wedding planning apps come into play. Apart from the fact that they cost next to nothing, these apps were created to solve problems, and if your problem is a wedding, then you’re in luck. 

Finding the right wedding organizer apps and platforms to enable you navigate all of the plans you have for your big day can be tricky if you are not sure where to look. Take the Miss to Mrs Box for example. It’s that gift that keeps on giving and is highly coveted by many bride’s to be. However, not all brides have been clued in yet.
