The Short Version
- Four things shipping soon: multilingual guest support, custom font options, colored QR codes, and a pre-wedding RSVP page
- The big one: a single URL that starts as an RSVP page before the wedding and becomes the full memory experience after — one link the couple shares from save-the-date to anniversary
- Languages coming first — the guest experience will support Spanish, Hindi, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese, and more
So this is actually what's on my desk right now. Four things. Some that are little, one that's been keeping me up.
Languages
For now, the app is entirely in English — if a grandmother travels in or a family from France comes over, the buttons, the guestbook prompts, the upload screen are all in English. You scan the QR code at the venue and it opens in a language that isn't your own.
I keep thinking about that. Someone who traveled ten hours to see their family get married, trying to leave a message in a language they're not comfortable in.
We are adding Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Mandarin, Russian — and a few others. The app can detect which language your phone has been set to and switch automatically between them. There is no selection menu, no flag to tap. It just picks up on your phone and adapts. That's how it should work.
Fonts
Smaller one, but I get asked about it more than you would think. Currently the font on your wedding page is fixed.
I'm going to add a font picker on the dashboard — some choices that all look good at weddings and take thirty seconds to change. Small though it is, it makes the page feel more like yours — not just a template; it feels more like itself.
QR code colors
Same idea, different version. The QR code is black and white right now. It works, it scans, but it looks like what it is — a generated QR code.
You should be able to make it match your wedding colors, or at a minimum, make it feel like something you would actually want to print on a table card — not something you'd peel off a parking meter.
The major item
This is the one I've been thinking about the longest.
Wedding Memory already starts before the wedding. The moment a PRO creates the page at booking, the URL is live. Couples start adding engagement photos, childhood pictures, the story of how they met. Friends and family can visit that link months before the day — there is already something there. The QR code is the day-of mechanic, the thing you print on a table card. The personal URL is what was always going to last.
But then there are the practical things. Where do guests RSVP? Where is the venue? What time does it start? Most couples end up with a Zola page for that, or a Google Form, or a cousin who built something. A different link for the planning. Then the page they use on the day. Then, after the wedding, another. Three different things — and the one with the personal URL, the one guests already have, isn't doing the work it could be doing.
That is the part that doesn't make sense to me. The URL is already there. It is already personal. Guests already have it bookmarked. The missing piece is: use it for the planning too.
Your wedding page — RSVP, schedule, travel info, everything guests need before the day — and on the day it becomes your live wedding page; after the wedding it becomes your memory page. Same URL the whole time. The guests who RSVPed months ago return to view the photos. The page they bookmarked in January is the same page they're visiting in October.
That's what we're building. It is the thing I am most excited about, and the thing that takes the longest to get right. I'll write about it more when it's closer.
If any of this sounds like something you've been waiting for — or if something you wish existed isn't on this list — I literally read my emails. [email protected]
