Can I run a wedding in Canva?

You can design for one: invitations, signage, a website and boards. Its seating charts, timelines and budgets are templates edited by hand, and it has no guest list, contracts or invoices.

Does Canva collect RSVPs?

Its wedding websites can carry a form, and its help centre describes the responses on Canva Websites as anonymous. Replies to an I Said Yes website land on the guest list by household.

What does I Said Yes make for a wedding?

Websites, mood boards, insert cards, place card lists and run sheets, each made from the records behind them: the guest list, the budget, the table plan and the running order.

Canva for wedding planners, or software made for weddings

Canva for wedding planners usually means invitations, signage, mood boards and sometimes a website. It is a design tool; I Said Yes is wedding planning software. This page sets out what I Said Yes does that Canva doesn't, side by side, from Canva's own published pages, with the date we last checked at the bottom.

What I Said Yes does that Canva doesn't

Replies that land on the guest list: Canva's wedding websites can carry an RSVP form, and its help centre describes the responses as anonymous, collected apart from any guest list. On an I Said Yes website each reply lands on the guest list against the household, with meals by course and dietary needs in the guest's own words.
Seating, timelines and budgets that keep up: Canva's seating charts, timelines and budgets are templates you edit by hand. In I Said Yes they are records: the table plan reads the guest list, the budget adds up in pounds with payments due, and the running order moves when the day runs late.
Mood boards tied to the wedding: Describe how the wedding should feel and each board is drawn as photographs in the wedding's own colours, with a brief under every picture, shown to the couple in their portal when you choose. On Canva a board is laid out by hand.
A day mode for the wedding: A one-handed dashboard for the day that keeps working without signal, moves the whole day when you are running late and keeps the ceremony and the registrar where they are. Canva's help centre lists its iPhone and iPad apps as not supporting offline editing.
We move your weddings across for you, free: The real cost of changing software is re-entering twenty weddings by hand and getting some of it wrong. Tell us what you use now and we do it, on any plan, at no charge, usually within five working days of your files reaching us through our secure upload. You check it before it counts. The secure upload for your files is not open yet: we email you your link as soon as it opens, and nothing is lost meanwhile.
