Saving Time Is Saving Money in DIY Wedding Planning

There’s an old saying in event planning: “Time is money.” And for anyone who’s ever planned a wedding, you know how true that is. From last-minute changes to miscommunications about timing and location, even the smallest hiccups can create stress and rack up unexpected costs. That’s why we created Impact to help event planners and everyday people alike stay on track, stay connected, and stay sane.

A Wedding with a Lot of Heart and a Little Help from Impact

Last month, a couple in Connecticut used the Impact App to plan their DIY wedding. With a limited budget and a strong desire to keep things personal, they managed most of the event themselves. From vendor coordination to bridal party logistics, they relied on Impact to stay organized and communicate efficiently.

The big day was beautiful but not without surprises. A bridesmaid’s flight was delayed. One of the groomsmen forgot where to meet for photos. And the officiant needed an updated schedule just hours before the ceremony.

Fortunately, the couple had built their event inside the Impact App, and those last-minute changes were no match for its built-in tools.

Impact in Action: Real-Time Communication That Works

Using Impact’s communication features, the couple and their planner were able to:

• Send group messages to the bridal party with updated times and locations

• Share real-time schedule changes with all key participants

• Track who had seen which messages to ensure nothing fell through the cracks

• Direct message individuals with custom instructions

What could have been a stressful scramble became a smooth, on-time celebration. As the bride later shared, “It felt like answered prayers.”

The Bigger Picture

When you're planning an event whether it’s a wedding, family gathering, or corporate retreat every minute counts. Time wasted chasing down details or re-communicating changes can quickly turn into added costs or missed moments. Impact helps you stay ahead of the chaos by streamlining communication and keeping everyone on the same page.
