WedTech ideas to help with wedding planning:

Boothify.me – This social photos booth integrates and displays live photos, tweets and Instagrams in real time. Share the stream with the party by projecting it on walls, TVs and/or the ceiling…all from an iPad device.
Pinterest – This iPad App helps bridal parties discover and plan the wedding. When there is an interesting suggestion, “Pin It.”
Spotify/iTunes – Instead of a DJ or live band, brides and grooms can create their own playlist or station and collect song suggestions from guests.
Wedjinni.com – This site helps manage everything from wedding planning, budget, guests, registry, to-do lists and vendors.
Weddingpartyapp.com – This site helps with invites, sharing the details of the wedding, the journey to marriage, setting up virtual wedding planners, creating signature hashtags and generating a mood board of favorite, thematic photos.
Other fun tech ideas – Consider creating a livestream of the wedding for those that can’t make it in person. Provide downloadable gifts to guests or develop a custom video from the couple to stream during the reception.
