Google Takes On Wedding Planning

Is anyone safe from Google? They seem to be a player in just about every industry. They have recently introduced a new feature through their "Google Docs" that has a number of templates to help you with your wedding planning.

If you are a "do it yourself" bride, a number of free tools are available.

If you have used a Google Doc, you will find these incredibly easy to use. These are nice because they are stored online- and you can allow others helping to plan your wedding access to these documents. The changes are then made in real-time...so there is no more emailing your guest list back and forth with your mother-in-law.

If you have a smart phone, you most likely have access to a Google Doc "app" in which you can access and update your data on-the-go.

This technology does not replace the skills of a wedding planner, but it is a great option for people that are looking to take care of things themselves.
