We’ve seen a ton of wedding tech rollouts, all claiming to make planning easier. From custom app builders to online registries, even all-in-one platforms, they all promise to save you time. But more often than not, they miss the mark when it comes to being cohesive, easy to use, and—let’s be real—actually looking good.

So when we were introduced to Lovebird–a comprehensive new digital wedding guest communication platform–we jumped at the opportunity to share with our readers. To us, Lovebird feels like a long-awaited lifeline tossed into the often chaotic waters of wedding planning. It simplifies wedding guest communication while offering a level of style and sophistication that’s been hard to find.

What is Lovebird?

We’ve hooked you with the promise of elegant and easy wedding guest communication—but how does it really work? Created by the same team behind popular apps like Punchbowl and Timehop, Lovebird allows couples to manage all guest interactions in one streamlined platform. It offers a full set of features including premium wedding websites, beautifully designed digital wedding invitations and save the dates delivered via text or email, RSVP tracking and notifications, guest list management, meal selection, guest polling, gift registry integration, and messaging capabilities. 

No need to juggle multiple accounts, tools, or apps. No paper, no postage, no missing RSVPs. Lovebird allows your guests to have a single source for all wedding information, while also serving as your all-in-one wedding guest control center. It’s truly a win-win.

Lovebird’s Benefits and Standout Features

  • Efficiency. Friends and family might move across town, the country, or even the world,  but somethings remain constant: email addresses and phone numbers. Lovebird’s digital wedding invitations and save the dates eliminate the hassle of tracking down physical addresses, prepping envelopes by hand, and dealing with lost postage.
  • RSVP management. Say you invited a couple and only one partner can attend the ceremony, or you still haven’t received Great Aunt Sally’s response even though you heard through the grapevine she’s attending. Lovebird simplifies the complexities of managing RSVPs and attendance for you.
  • Polling capabilities. This feature is perfect for people-pleasers or the indecisive! Lovebird allows you to poll your guests with ease. Can’t decide between chicken or fish? Not sure if the bar should stock more red or white wine? Just ask your guests directly.
  • Email and SMS updates. Email is good, but you know what’s even more likely to be read? A text message. Lovebird helps you avoid those inevitable guest questions like “What time does the ceremony start?” or “Can I bring my new boyfriend?” by sending direct SMS updates to your guests’ phones.

Wedding Ceremony Decor

The ceremony is the heart of your wedding, but it’s also usually over pretty quickly. That means there’s no need to break the bank here.

However, if you envision a few more details, here is our complete list of wedding ceremony decor options.

Cocktail Hour Decor

Cocktail hour is where the fun begins! While the reception is packed with activities, it’s during the cocktail hour that your guests have a chance to mingle and socialize. It’s worth dedicating some of your decor budget here to make it inviting—think about the bar, snack tables, and maybe a few lawn games to keep things lively.

Wedding Reception Table Decorations

Your reception tables are where your guests will spend most of their time, so this is where you can really show off your style. Whether it’s through elegant centerpieces or personalized table settings, the right decor will set the vibe for the evening. Just remember, here at Junebug Weddings, we celebrate the uniqueness of every wedding and believe that its beauty lies in your personal touch.
