Let Happly guide you through every step of your wedding journey, ensuring it's not only stress-free but also filled with joy and anticipation.

  • Wedding Website

    Keep your wedding details together with your own Happly wedding website. Share your love story, photos, date and venue information in one place, making it easy for guests to find what they need. Guests can also RSVP and submit their meal choices through your website, helping you keep track as the day approaches.

  • Save The Date

    Let your guests know when you’re getting married so they can start making plans. Personalise your digital save the date with your own wording and a favourite photo, then share your announcement with family and friends ahead of the formal invitation.

  • Invitations and Thank You Notes Create a personalised online wedding invitation with your own text and a favourite image, alongside your wedding date and location. The ‘RSVP Now’ button takes guests directly to your Happly wedding website to respond. After the celebration, use the thank you note option to send a thoughtful message to the people who shared your day.
  • Budget Calculator

    Set your wedding budget and keep track of your expenses as your plans take shape. Start with an optional prepopulated expense breakdown, adjust it to suit your priorities and include a contingency allowance for unexpected costs. Happly’s wedding budget calculator helps you see how your spending compares with your budget, so you can make informed decisions along the way.

  • Gift Registry Create a wedding gift registry that suits your life together. Add gifts you’d love to receive, request cash contributions towards your honeymoon or another shared goal, or link an external registry. Keep your wishes together so guests can find a gift that feels right for you.
  • Wedding Directory Find wedding venues and suppliers in South Africa with Happly’s wedding directory. Narrow your search using location, category and other available filters, including your wedding date where availability information is provided. Explore listings and save your favourites to build a shortlist you can return to as you plan.
  • To-do List Keep track of what needs doing, from your first planning decisions to the final arrangements. Add tasks, set due dates, include notes and access task-specific tips. You can also start with an optional prepopulated wedding checklist, with dates based on your wedding day, and tick off tasks as you complete them.
  • Vision Board Bring your wedding inspiration together in one place. Save images in your Happly vision board to help you explore colours, décor, flowers and other details. Having your ideas together makes it easier to see what works and keep your plans focused on the look you want.
  • Seating Plan Organise your wedding seating plan by creating, naming and numbering your tables, then assigning guests to each table. Once you’re happy with the arrangements, export your seating chart to share with your venue, caterer, planner or wedding party.
  • Gathering RSVPsManage your wedding RSVPs and meal choices from your Happly guest list. Collect responses through your wedding website or update them manually when guests reply another way. Keep the information together so you can see who’s attending and prepare the details your venue and caterer need.
  • Supplier and Venue Reviews Read reviews and ratings on wedding supplier and venue listings to learn about other couples’ experiences. Use their feedback alongside listing information and your own conversations with each business to help you decide who fits your wedding plans. Reviews are available where they have been submitted.
  • Supplier and Venue Packages

    Explore wedding packages and pricing where suppliers and venues have added them to their listings. Browse galleries and videos, where available, to get a better feel for each business and what it offers. Use these details to compare options, then contact the business to confirm current pricing, inclusions and any requirements specific to your wedding.

  • Check Availibility Check supplier and venue calendars, where available, to see which dates could work for your wedding. You can also use your preferred date to filter directory results where businesses have provided availability information. Confirm your chosen date directly with the supplier or venue before making arrangements.
  • Request a Quote Request a wedding quote through Happly where the option is available, or use a listing’s contact buttons to get in touch. Share your date, guest numbers and requirements so the supplier or venue can provide relevant pricing. Compare the responses to help you find an option that suits your plans and budget.
  • Make Appointments or BookingsArrange wedding venue viewings or supplier meetings using the online booking calendar where a business has enabled it. Check the available appointment times and follow the booking process shown on the listing. You can also contact the business directly to arrange a suitable time.
  • Contact Suppliers Get in touch with wedding suppliers and venues using their listing’s contact buttons or direct contact details. Ask questions, discuss your requirements, request pricing or arrange a viewing or meeting. Contact each business directly to confirm availability, booking terms and the details that matter to you.
