Everything applies to the counter live, and rides along in the link and the embed code.

Everyone counts down to a wedding: the couple, the planner, and whoever still hasn't booked a hotel room. Set your own date below and you'll get a link you can drop into the invitation, the group chat or the website.
Pick your date in the picker above. The link you get back carries the date, this background and every colour you changed.
Everyone counts down to a wedding: the couple, the planner, and whoever still has not booked a hotel room. 💍 Set your date below and you get a link you can drop into the invitation, the group chat, or the wedding website.
A 12 month engagement is 365 days. Split that across weekends and you have about 52 planning sessions, which is fewer than it sounds when the venue needs eight months' notice.
- Pick a Saturday and you have roughly 52 to choose from each year, which is why popular venues go early.
- Share the link rather than a screenshot. Everyone sees the time left on their own clock, wherever they are.
- The photo behind the counter stays with the page, so the countdown looks like part of your invitation. 💐
A rough planning countdown
| Days before | Usually the moment for |
|---|---|
| 365 | Venue and date locked in |
| 180 | Invitations ordered, guest list closed |
| 60 | Final numbers to the caterer |
| 7 | Rehearsal, and the last panic about shoes |
Questions people ask
Can I put our names on it?
Yes. Use the Title field to write a line above the digits, and Name to change the page heading.
Will guests in other countries see the right number?
Yes. The counter runs on each person's own clock, so nobody has to do the maths.
