Abstract
The present invention provides systems and methods for planning important events such as weddings, milestone birthday parties and the like. A suite of computer-implemented applications perform various aspects of event management, including guest list and seating management, task planning, vendor selection, budget control and gift recordation and tracking. The data gathered, processed and stored by different portions of the application suite is used seamlessly by other portions of the application suite to synergistically enhance the overall functioning of the system. The system may be a web-based Internet implementation where brides and other users can input and manipulate the information for the event planning system. Guests are provided a unique URL to a web page about the wedding, which contains information about the bride and groom. Guest preferences can be input and that information used to coordinate seating. The budgeter provides the user with task and vendor details to optimize planning.
