Recommendations - wedding admin/planning spreadsheets/software

[Rostov]

I'm getting married in almost exactly a year, and it's time to get organised as regards wedding planning, particularly a guest list and something to record responses to get a sense of likely numbers (separating definite +1s, possible +1s, whether those with kids are bringing them etc). My first thought was to start creating a spreadsheet, but it quickly occurred to me that the future Mrs Rostov and I aren't the first people to get married and face these logistical challenges.

 

Does anyone have any experience/recommendations regarding particular spreadsheet templates or software that we could use? Free options would be great, but given how much the rest of the wedding will cost it would be weird to rule out paid options, given how much time this could save. I think I'm looking for something that would help us put together a guest list (including contact details), keep track of numbers under various scenarios, record responses (or perhaps even automatically receive them), any dietary/access requirements, and perhaps feed into some sort of seating planner.

 

I've done little or no research so far - google seems to produce a whole bunch of options, most of them from a few years back. Rather than diving into the rabbit hole and trying to find something that way, I thought this might be a particularly good online community to ask first!

Check out https://www.theknot.com/. It's what Sra. Tanque and I used when we got married in July. It has more features than you are going to need and is free.

Thanks for that, much appreciated. I've done a bit of searching and there are a lot of options, but it's great to have a personal recommendation.
