Creating Your Guest List
Your guest list is the center resource of The Wedding Assistant system. From this list you will invite entire families and individuals to your events, manage the addresses and other contact information, and enter flight information and accommodations if needed.

The Guest List Wizard
Wedding Assistant presents an innovative yet easy method for guest list building. A guest can be one individual, a couple - guest and his/her companion or a family. Children can be added to any option.

Here you enter all the relevant information: contact info, assign to a group and enter flight and accommodation information.

Event Management
Your wedding events are the heart of The Wedding Assistant, and naturally the most important part of your wedding.

Invite your guests; Track your invitations, RSVP and Thank You notes. Assign roles to your guests in the Roles tab and change the event's settings as desired.

Event Definition Center
The new Event Wizard has everything you need in order to define your event. WA supplies a few major events for you to use, edit and manipulate.

Set the location, date and time; define the nature of your event, manage the roles included, choose your follow-up and tracking and more.

Roles
The Wedding Assistant helps you manage your guests' roles like any other part of your wedding.

Those roles are included in the events, and then assigned to the guests invited to them.

Wedding Calendar - New!
All new feature - A scheduler to manage your time while planning your wedding.
An "outlook" look and feel calendar that makes your busy appointment schedule, tasks and events - easy to manage and use.
Reminders are also available on the calendar, as well as in the to-do items. All day events, a prolonged task, automatic entries for your Wedding Events and a direct link to them will help you stay up to date with your schedule.

Seating Arrangement
The Wedding Assistant lets you arrange your seating any way you would like.

The graphic display of the tables shows you who did you seat, and who doesn't have a seat yet. You can define children's tables by age; decide on the seating order of your guests.

To seat your guests, just drag and drop them into a table and from one table to another.

Expenses
The Wedding Assistant offers a great way to manage your wedding expenses.

You can maintain your expenses according to your budget or not use a budget at all - it's your choice.

Assign a vendor to an expense, the event it relates to and even calculate taxes if necessary.

Track your payments, whether it is a single or payment or multiple installments.

Facilities
When you plan your wedding, you can define all the facilities you are going to need.

Some of the facilities are offered by The Wedding Assistant in the “View Predefined” area.

You can define a facility for each event and then pick a vendor for this service.

You can also create the expense for this facility directly from this screen.

Vendors
This is the vendor list of the system. You will use vendors in the Expenses, Services and in your To Do List.

A vendor is usually a company or a person that sells you services regarding your wedding, examples are: caterer, D.J., Flower designer, Venue of your wedding etc...

The Vendor list includes mainly the contact information of the vendors and their contact persons.

Budget
Budget management is optional. You use a budget to track and control the cost of your wedding.

The budget is structure as a tree. Each item can turn into a parent item with sub branches under it. You can drag and drop items from the “choose and use©” area and within your budget tree.

To do
Managing your time is very important when you plan your wedding. Therefore we have created a task list to help you manage your tasks in the most efficient way.

Enter your task information, point to a document or a link and even create a reminder.
 

Gifts
The Gift Manager in The Wedding Assistant will help you manage and track your registry and all other gifts you have received on your wedding's events.
 

Backup
Performing a backup on your wedding data is very important. You might make changes and want to revert to a previous date of your system and with Wedding Assistant it's very easy.

Groups
Groups for guests are created in order to simplify your list and Seating Arrangement for your wedding.

Grouping your parties is optional, but a very recommended feature in The Wedding Assistant system. It is very useful for statistic purposes, seating and reporting.

Help
Every screen in the Wedding Assistant has a help button that opens an HTML page in the right side of the window. You can browse this page and find the help you need.
The screenshot shows the help screen open in the Monetary Gifts management screen.
 

Guest List Builder (GLB)
With GLB, creating your guest list is a lot simpler.
Your mom would want to invite her friends and neighbors, and only she has their details. Install GLB on her computer and she can create her list and enter all the details. When she is done or when she likes to update the main WA site, she exports and send it over (using automatic email straight from the software).

And it's not only your mom. You can install it freely on every machine. Thus, not only dispersing the work load but making sure that the data imported is always accurate.
Updating the database can be done as many times as you like, keeping your final data in full sync with its sources. When importing the list - parties will be auto-invites to events that are defined to do so, you can associate the added parties with groups and manually invite to special events.
