Make a wedding planner app for iPhone
Wedding planning is a guest list, a budget and a long checklist kept by two people at once. Describe your day and Borel builds a native iPhone wedding planner in Swift: guests and RSVPs, costs against your budget, tasks by month before the date, vendors picked from your contacts, and one plan you and your partner both edit.
Updated
“A wedding planner for two: a guest list with RSVP status, meal choice and table; a budget by category with estimate and actual cost; a checklist grouped by months before the wedding; and vendors with contact details and payments due. My partner and I share the same plan through an invite code.”
Screens
What a wedding planner app needs
The screens Borel builds from the prompt above. Ask for more, fewer or different ones.
Countdown
Days to go, tasks due this month and the budget at a glance.
Guests
Everyone invited, with RSVP, meal and table, and totals at the top.
Budget
Each category's estimate against what's paid and still owed.
Checklist
Tasks from twelve months out to the week before, ticked by either of you.
Data
What it keeps
Borel writes these as Swift models. On the phone they work with no connection; in Borel's cloud they follow a signed-in person.
| What | Holds | Kept |
|---|---|---|
| Wedding | Date, venue, total budget, invite code | In Borel's cloud, shared by the couple |
| Guest | Name, party, RSVP, meal, table | In Borel's cloud, in the wedding |
| Cost | Category, vendor, estimate, paid, due date | In Borel's cloud, in the wedding |
| Task | Title, month, done, who did it | In Borel's cloud, in the wedding |
Native iPhone features
What it can use on your iPhone
Written in Swift with Apple's own frameworks, so they work the way iPhone owners expect.
Make it yours
What to ask for next
Once the first version runs, ask for changes in the chat, in words like these.
- “Add a seating chart where I drag guests onto tables.”
- “Show which guests haven't replied yet, with a button to text them.”
- “Add a day-of timeline from getting ready to the last dance.”
How to make it
From a prompt to your iPhone and the App Store
- 1
Describe it
Paste the prompt on this page into Borel, or write your own in plain words. Borel plans the screens with you before it builds.
- 2
Try it in your browser
Borel writes the app in Swift and SwiftUI, builds it with Xcode on its own Mac and opens it in a live iPhone simulator in your browser, free.
- 3
Put it on your iPhone
With Pro, Borel Companion for Windows or Mac installs it on your own iPhone with your Apple ID: a cable the first time, then Wi-Fi.
- 4
Publish it when it's ready
Pro publishes to the App Store from the same project. Apple's Developer Program, $99 a year, is the one thing you pay Apple.
Before you invite your partner, try the guest list on your iPhone: add guests from your contacts and check names and numbers come through. Then sign in on a second device to see a change made on one appear on the other.
For your partner to have it on their own phone, publish it to the App Store; Companion installs only on your iPhone. Wedding planners can also publish a version for their couples, each wedding kept separate in Borel's cloud.
Building starts free, with 5 free credits a day, up to 30 a month, and the simulator in your browser costs nothing. Pro, from $20 a month, adds installs on your own iPhone through Borel Companion and publishing to the App Store.
Before you start
Good to know
- Guests don't RSVP inside the app; you record the answers you get.
- Payments to vendors aren't made in the app; it tracks what's paid and due.
- There are no push notifications when your partner changes something; you see it when you open the plan.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Ask for a shared plan, and Borel adds sign-in and keeps the wedding in its cloud, where you both join with an invite code.
Yes. Each guest has an RSVP status and a meal, and the guest screen totals them for the caterer.
Yes. Each cost has an estimate, what's paid and what's due, and a chart shows the total against your budget.
No. Borel runs the cloud for your app, creates the tables and keeps your wedding visible only to the two of you.
