Best wedding apps in India, compared honestly.
Once the vendors are booked, someone has to run the wedding for two or three hundred guests. These are the products Indian families and planners actually use for that job, with what each does, what it costs, and who it suits.

Each product, in brief
Baraati
Baraati gives each wedding its own private space, built around the Indian structure: mehndi, haldi, sangeet, baraat, phera and reception are each their own event with a time, venue, map and dress code. A shared link opens an animated invitation in any browser, where guests RSVP, add their travel, upload an ID and see their room number without installing anything. Guests who do install the app get the private photo feed, Photo Drive for full-resolution originals, wedding games and live updates. Hosts get a travel roster that clusters guests landing together into shared airport pickups, room allocation, and government-ID collection with published security: AES-256-GCM envelope encryption, every access logged, no public links, deleted three days after the wedding. Free up to 10 guests; ₹11,000 or ₹21,000 one-time for the whole wedding. Pricing.
Pick it if you are the family running the wedding and you want guests to enjoy it, with something that lasts after the reception.
WeddingKart
WhatsApp-native guest management for event managers and couples. Invitations, reminders and scheduled announcements go out on WhatsApp with per-guest delivery and read status. Guests RSVP with one tap and send travel tickets, which are parsed with AI, along with ID cards and candid photos. Guests who don't reply can be followed up by an AI voice agent that calls them. ₹5,999 + GST or ₹14,999 + GST per wedding, with a five-wedding season pack for planners.
Pick it if you want everything to stay inside WhatsApp and the job is mainly operations: headcounts, tickets, follow-ups.
EventPax by WedHaven
WedHaven has been in Indian wedding management since 2020, and now leads with EventPax: a WhatsApp guest desk for planners, event and MICE agencies, and corporate offsites. Guests reply in their own words on WhatsApp with their RSVP, travel and a photo of their ID, and an AI concierge answers their questions around the clock. Planners see RSVPs, arrivals, rooms and pickups in one dashboard, run several events at once, and export guest sheets, ID PDFs and arrival manifests. From ₹6,499 per event.
Pick it if you are a planner or agency running several events and want guests handled entirely over WhatsApp.
Invyt
A browser-based invitation and RSVP. Each function (mehendi, sangeet, baraat, ceremony, reception) can have its own invitation and RSVP, and custom questions can ask for vegetarian, non-vegetarian or Jain. Guests need no app and no account. The core invitation and RSVP are free; custom questions, broadcast updates and co-host access are paid upgrades.
Pick it if what you mainly need is per-function headcounts at little or no cost.
WedPlan
Wedding planning software sold mainly to planners on yearly plans (from ₹25,000 a year), with unlimited weddings, WhatsApp messages, crew members and room allocation. Couples can buy a single-wedding package for ₹11,000 that includes a wedding website, digital invites, guest list and RSVP tracking, the event schedule and family access.
Pick it if you are a planner who wants one system across every client wedding.
Wedd.ai
An AI-first wedding platform for planners and families. Invites, RSVPs and reminders go out on WhatsApp with delivery and read tracking; with its Bring Your Own WhatsApp add-on they come from the planner's existing WhatsApp Business number, which keeps working in the Business app alongside. Planners can run several weddings from one dashboard covering guest lists, RSVPs, tasks, budgets and forms, and guests get a self-service portal and a face-recognition gallery that finds every photo they appear in. A free plan covers two weeks and up to 50 guests; Pro is ₹5,999 one-time per wedding under a launch offer for the first 200 weddings (₹12,000 after), and the own-number add-on is ₹3,000.
Pick it if you are a planner who wants invites and reminders to come from the WhatsApp number your clients already know.
Pick it if face-search photo delivery matters most to you and you are comfortable with an early-access product.
Where Baraati is the wrong pick
A comparison written by one of the vendors is only useful if it is honest about that vendor. As of October 2026, Baraati:
- Takes one RSVP for the whole wedding, not one per function. If your caterer needs separate sangeet and reception counts, Invyt and the planner tools handle that today.
- Does not send messages on WhatsApp. You share the invitation link wherever you like, including WhatsApp, but updates reach guests through push notifications to the app, and guests who only use the browser link do not get pushes. Hosts can see who is reachable and send a WhatsApp reminder by hand.
- Has no face-recognition photo search. If finding every photo you appear in is the priority, look at Wedd.ai or a photographer's face-search delivery tool such as Kwikpic or FotoOwl.
- Is not built for agencies. Baraati is designed and priced per wedding, for the family running it. Agencies running ten weddings a season are better served by WeddingKart's season pack, EventPax or WedPlan's yearly plans.
- Caps its free plan at 10 guests. Beyond that, the host pays once for the whole wedding.
How to choose, in five questions
| Ask yourself | If yes |
|---|---|
| Am I a planner running several weddings at once? | Start with WeddingKart, EventPax by WedHaven or WedPlan, which are built around multi-event dashboards and teams. |
| Do I need separate headcounts for each function? | Choose a tool with per-function RSVP, such as Invyt. Baraati does not offer this yet. |
| Will older relatives refuse to install anything? | Every option here works without an install: WhatsApp for WeddingKart and EventPax, a browser link for Invyt and Baraati's invitation. |
| Will a venue, hotel or airline ask for guest IDs? | Ask each vendor how IDs are stored, who can open them and when they are deleted, and get the answer in writing. Baraati's answers are published here. |
| Do I want guests to enjoy the wedding, not just be managed? | That is what Baraati is built for: a private feed, games written for Indian weddings, and an album that lasts after the reception. |
Marketplaces, website builders and WhatsApp
Vendor marketplaces such as WedMeGood, WeddingWire India and ShaadiSaga are where you find and book photographers, venues and makeup artists. They are free to couples because vendors pay, and they do a different job from everything above. Most families use a marketplace months out and a guest tool in the final weeks.
Wedding website builders such as Joy, Zola and The Knot are built around the US model: one ceremony, one reception and a gift registry. They are polished, but multi-day Indian functions, hotel rooms and guest IDs are not part of their design.
Plain WhatsApp groups are still the default, and for fifty guests they mostly work. Past that, the same things break every time: no RSVP you can count, updates buried overnight, every guest's number exposed to strangers, and photos scattered across hundreds of phones. Baraati vs wedding WhatsApp groups covers this in detail.
Questions
What is the best wedding app in India?
It depends on who is running the wedding and how your guests will use it. Planners running many weddings a season are usually best served by a WhatsApp-first guest desk such as WeddingKart or EventPax by WedHaven, or by planner software such as WedPlan. A couple who wants only a free invitation with per-function RSVP can use Invyt. Baraati is built for a family that wants guests to have one private place for the invitation, schedule, travel, rooms, photos and games, and something that lasts after the wedding. To find and book vendors, use a marketplace such as WedMeGood instead.
Is there a wedding app where guests don't have to download anything?
Yes. WeddingKart and EventPax by WedHaven run entirely over WhatsApp, and Invyt invitations open as a link in any browser. Baraati's invitation also opens in any browser with no install: guests can RSVP, add their travel details, upload an ID and see their room number from the link. The app is optional and adds the photo feed, games and live updates.
Which wedding apps support per-function RSVP for mehendi, sangeet and reception?
Invyt supports a separate RSVP for each function and custom questions such as vegetarian, non-vegetarian or Jain. Baraati currently takes one RSVP for the whole wedding, so if you need headcounts per function, check that a tool offers it before you choose.
How much does a wedding guest management app cost in India?
As published on each company's site in October 2026: WeddingKart is ₹5,999 + GST or ₹14,999 + GST per wedding; EventPax by WedHaven starts at ₹6,499 per event; WedPlan's couple package is ₹11,000 and its planner plans start at ₹25,000 a year; Invyt's core invitation and RSVP are free with paid upgrades; Wedd.ai has a free two-week plan for up to 50 guests, and its Pro plan is ₹5,999 per wedding under a launch offer (₹12,000 after). Baraati is free for up to 10 guests, then ₹11,000 or ₹21,000 one-time per wedding, and guests never pay.
Which wedding app is best for a destination wedding in India?
A destination wedding adds guest travel, hotel rooms and ID documents. WeddingKart parses guests' travel tickets with AI, EventPax by WedHaven tracks arrivals, rooms and pickups for planners, and Baraati gives the family a travel roster with shared airport-pickup clustering, room numbers each guest can see, and encrypted ID collection deleted three days after the wedding.
Is it safe to collect guests' Aadhaar or passport copies through a wedding app?
Several wedding tools collect guest IDs, including WeddingKart, EventPax by WedHaven and Baraati. Before choosing one, ask how the documents are stored, who can open them, whether access is logged, and when they are deleted. Baraati publishes its answers: AES-256-GCM envelope encryption, every access audit-logged, no public links, and automatic deletion three days after the wedding.
