Many friends or friends of friends have been in the process of organizing their own wedding. Too often do families crash on miserable issues such as the color of the stamp on the invitation envelope, the brand and millesime of the wines to put on the tables, the songs the band should play, etc.
Furthermore, I saw my mother follow exactly, step-by-step, the same organization agenda to prepare my bar mitzvah (11 years ago
) and my 2 sisters’ bat mitzvah – I repeat, exactly the same agenda. And I bet many people, be they setting up a bar mitzvah, a wedding, an anniversary party or just a birthday, follow the same actual tedious process.
So why not actually map this process in order to manage it better? Sorting out all functional details (not so complicated after all, just repetitive) should allow for devising an online platform aimed at making party planning easier. The positioning of such a software is crystal clear: an ERP for individuals and/or companies planning big events.
Moreover, such a service could be used as the nucleus of a web service ecosystem at the center of many different Internet companies: Evite (invites), Photomugs, VistaPrint (printing service), 1000mercis (wedding present lists), Serenata (flowers), etc. Some fun mashups could even be integrated.
I’m telling you: it’s not so complicated to devise and, hoping a buzz will come out of nowhere, an online party planning software can easily be a cash machine, a killer making money on commissions generated via bringing together supply and demand.
I would find pretty cool to develop this very idea just for the sake of it some day, at night or on week-ends…Unfortunately, no time for the moment, and I don’t think it will get better any soon. Maybe I should just write a software to help me plan my own schedule rather…
