Can you recommend wedding planning software for family members helping coordinate a wedding timeline and guest list?

Yes — for family members helping coordinate a wedding timeline and guest list, you’ll want software that supports shared access, task management, guest tracking, and timeline/calendar views. Here are some strong options, depending on how simple or collaborative you need it to be:
