PlanMe plans a Desi wedding the way families actually run it: function by function. The haldi, mehndi, sangeet, wedding and reception each get their own date, venue, guest list, RSVP, menu, seating chart and run of show, while [one budget split by category](https://www.planme.club/features/budget) covers the whole wedding and both sides work from one [household guest list](https://www.planme.club/features/guest-management). Free during beta.

The problem

## Where planning usually breaks

- Every function has a different guest list
  Close family comes to the haldi, a bigger circle to the sangeet and everyone to the reception, and one RSVP can't capture that.
- Both sides keep their own lists
  Bride side and groom side lists arrive in different formats, with the same uncle spelled three ways.
- A run of show for each function
  The DJ, caterer, photographer and family each need the timings for their part of each function, not the whole weekend.
- Catering counts by function and diet
  Veg and non-veg counts change from the mehndi to the reception, and the caterer needs them per function.

How PlanMe helps

## What Desi families use in PlanMe

- Each function planned on its own
  Each function is a festivity in PlanMe, with its own date, venue, dress code, menu and minute-by-minute schedule. Export the run of show by person.
  [Festivities](https://www.planme.club/features/festivities)
- Households, sides and duplicates
  Import each side's list, and duplicates are flagged as you import. Group guests into households with a head guest and tag them Bride side or Groom side.
  [Guest management](https://www.planme.club/features/guest-management)
- RSVPs per function
  Each household gets one private link and sees only the functions it's invited to, and every function keeps its own count.
  [RSVP for multiple events](https://www.planme.club/rsvp-for-multiple-events)
- Menus for each function
  Every function has its own menu by course, with dishes tagged veg, non-veg, vegan, alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
  [Menus by function](https://www.planme.club/features/festivities)
- A seating chart per function
  Draw a floor plan for the sangeet and another for the reception, with stage, dance floor and buffet, and seat guests from the list.
  [Seating chart](https://www.planme.club/features/seating-chart)
- Hotel stays for out-of-town family
  Record which household stays at which hotel, in which room type, on which dates, next to your guest list.

In practice

## Example: Anaya & Rohan's five functions

Anaya & Rohan have a haldi, mehndi, sangeet, wedding and reception over three days. Both families import their lists, PlanMe flags the relatives who appear on both, and each household is invited only to the functions it's attending. The haldi stays at 60 people while the reception goes past 300.

The caterer gets the menu for each function, the DJ gets the sangeet run of show, and the photographer gets a Photo Moments list of the relatives not to miss. One budget, split by category, covers the whole wedding, and each family's share is recorded against it.

Questions

## Common questions

See every module on the [features page](https://www.planme.club/features).

### What is the best app for planning an Indian wedding?

Look for one that treats each function as its own event with its own guest list and RSVP. PlanMe does that for the haldi, mehndi, sangeet, wedding, reception and any other function, with one household guest list and one budget for the whole wedding, and it is free during beta.

### Can guests RSVP separately for the mehndi, sangeet and reception?

Yes. Each household gets a private link and answers for each function it's invited to. Guests never see functions they weren't invited to.

### Does PlanMe work for Pakistani, Sikh and other South Asian weddings?

Yes. You name your own functions, so a dholki, nikah, anand karaj, baraat or walima works the same way as a mehndi or sangeet.

### Can each side of the family manage its own guests?

Yes. Tag guests Bride side or Groom side, and invite each family with a role that lets them add and edit guests while the budget stays private.

### How does the budget work across functions?

PlanMe keeps one budget for the whole wedding, split by category, so you see total spend in one place. Payments, due dates and cost-sharing between families are recorded against it.

### How much does PlanMe cost?

PlanMe is free during beta, with no credit card needed.
