Military Weddings

Wedding planning software can help with any kind of wedding, but if you’re planning a military wedding, The Organized Wedding can do even more to help you pull everything together with confidence and grace. It’s the only wedding software that has an understanding of military protocol built in from the ground up, and the only software that can automatically handle the etiquette for invitations addressed to military officers. The Organized Wedding is designed to make planning every facet of your wedding faster and easier – and for military weddings, formally proper, too. Just download the 30-day free trial (or buy the CD), and see how easy your wedding planning can be!

In addition to all of our great features for planning any wedding — things like building a guest list, preparing a budget and keeping a list of things to do — The Organized Wedding also has features to help with military weddings in particular.

Names and Titles: The Organized Wedding has a protocol officer's understanding of your guests' ranks and titles. You can assign a rank and service designation to any guest with a few clicks of the mouse — no typing required — and be sure that we'll use the rank or title correctly on everything you print: outer and inner invitation envelopes, invitations, place cards, and more. Not only that, but we'll handle the etiquette correctly, regardless of whether the guest is invited alone, with a date, with a spouse, with children — even with a spouse who has a rank or title of his/her own. Properly, formally, and automatically.
Formal Seating: If you're arranging formal seating for your guests, we can help with the protocol for that as well. A combination of drag-and-drop and automatic features helps you arrange seating that both meets your needs as a host/hostess and is formally correct. (See our Seating section for more information.)

Plan your wedding — don't type your life story

At The Organized Wedding, we know that if you're looking for wedding software, it's because you need to get things done — not because you want to spend all day typing. Every part of our wedding planning software is designed to help you plan the details of your wedding with speed, clarity and precision. You won't find any needless boxes to fill with typing. Instead, you'll find a wide array of powerful features that actively help you get the job done.

Note on military protocol for names and ranks:

If you received a copy of Service Etiquette as a cadet, you may notice that some of the envelope wording produced by The Organized Wedding is different from the book's. This is because weddings properly use a separate set of rules for social correspondence, while the emphasis of Service Etiquette is on professional correspondence.

The Organized Wedding uses the protocol laid out by Crane & Company's Wedding Blue Book, which is widely used by the diplomatic/embassy ball circuit. Of course, if you feel strongly about using some other wording, you can override the program and use whatever wording you'd like. After all, it's your wedding — we just help.

Note on military protocol for seating:

The Organized Wedding does not automatically seat guests according to precedence. That is, if you want to have officers arranged by rank at your tables, you'll need to use drag-and-drop to do it yourself. It's still easy, but it's one thing that we can't do for you.

If you would like a software package that can manage this too, you should look at the software produced by Del Drago. The down side is that seating is all it does, and unless protocol is your specialty, you're going to find it complicated. Still, we have to admit it's the best there is when it comes to formal seating. (Incidentally, we just referred you to our biggest competitor in the market for formal seating software. If you had any questions about how much of this write-up is honest and how much is marketing hype, you just found out.)
