Apé Poruwa: Wedding Planner

Two families. Three ceremonies. Four hundred guests. One calm couple. apé poruwa is built for how Sri Lankan weddings actually happen: both families on one guest list, RSVPs that come back on WhatsApp, seating that sorts itself, and your real headcount in hand before the hotel asks for it. From poruwa to homecoming. YOUR HEADCOUNT, WITHOUT THE CHASING Every guest gets a personal invitation link you can send on WhatsApp. They tap to confirm, decline or bring a plus-one. No app to install, no login, in Sinhala, Tamil or English. One link can cover a whole family, and everyone finds their own invite inside. When someone declines, their seat frees itself and the count stays true. WHO SITS WHERE, SOLVED Add both families' lists in one go and we catch the cousin who was added twice. Group guests the way families think: bride's side, groom's side, university friends, office crowd. Then one tap seats everyone, keeping groups together, VIPs where they belong, and the two aunties who don't talk at opposite ends of the hall. Don't like it? Tweak it and run it again. Pin a group to a table and it stays put. WATCH THEM ARRIVE, LIVE On the day, guests check in at the door with a QR or a tap. Every arrival lights up on your phone, in the Dynamic Island, on your Lock Screen as a Live Activity, and on your Apple Watch. Your true headcount, while the kitchen can still act on it. THE LAST FEW HOURS, HANDED OUT Before the doors open there are a hundred small jobs: chairs, cake table, poruwa flowers. Put each on the day's list with a time. Whoever's free taps "I've got this" and the job has a name. Anything nobody takes goes to your planner while there's still time. THE BORING BITS, QUIETLY HANDLED • Budget in rupees: advances, balances and receipts, logged as you go • A vendor catalogue linked to your budget and to-dos • A running order for each function, with highlights guests can see at the door • Invitation cards with each guest's name, table and seats filled in • Tent cards with a QR for every table • A shared photo album from guests who checked in ONE WEDDING, EVERY SCREEN Give each person their own door into the same wedding. You two keep full control. Your planner runs seating, timeline and vendors. Family and friends see their side of the list fill in, without twelve calls a day through you. Everyone sees the same wedding. APPLE WATCH The companion app puts the day on your wrist: the live check-in count with the newest arrivals, the day-of checklist where you can claim a job or add one by voice, today's tasks, and the running order with what's happening now. The Live Activity from your iPhone appears in the Smart Stack automatically. BUILT FOR THE BIG SRI LANKAN WEDDING Pick your tradition, Sinhala Buddhist, Tamil Hindu, Muslim or Christian, and the right functions are set up for you. Add, rename or reorder any of them. All times are Sri Lanka time. Free while you plan. No credit card. Your guests never install anything. Questions? hello@apeporuwa.lk
