Not built yet. This describes what the
Celestial app on your phone will do. It is written down here so everyone is
working from the same plan — when it ships, this note goes and the rest of
the page stays.
Why this matters
Wedding planning does not happen in one sitting at a computer. You pay a
deposit standing in a florist’s shop, a song occurs to you in the car, and you
want to show your mother the website over lunch. The phone app is for those
moments; the laptop is for the long jobs.
Do this
- Your wedding, at a glance
The countdown, what is still outstanding, and who has replied since you last looked.
- Log what you spend, when you spend it
A deposit paid in a shop is logged in the shop. That is the only time you will remember the exact figure.
- Find and message vendors
Search the Collective, post what you still need, and read the replies as they come in.
- Your website, both ways round
Most of your guests will open it on a phone, so you can see and shape the phone version as well as the desktop one — not just hope it comes out right.
- Music and guests
Add a song the moment you think of it; add a name the moment you are told it. Both are lists that get filled in over months, not in one go.
- Look, but do not seat
The seating chart is readable on the phone — the floor plan, and who is at table six. Arranging it wants a bigger screen; that is a job for the laptop.
You’ll know it worked when
The things you do in ten seconds happen on the phone, and only the long jobs wait for a laptop.
If it doesn’t go to plan
Working somewhere with no signal? What you have already opened stays
readable, and small changes wait and go up when you are back in range.
