The days of a big ol' binder for planning a wedding are long gone. The reign of the wedding planning app has taken over. It's time for an update to see what new and fancified wedding planning apps there are now to help you plan your wedding.

For Part I of this series, we're starting with apps that help with gathering notes, collaborating on ideas, and overall wedding planning. We'll be tackling apps for budgeting, RSVPs, registries, and more later on.

Let's check out the first round. Blanket warning: While Offbeat Bride is committed to gender-neutral language, you'll need to watch out for gendered language and more "traditional" options with many of these apps.

Evernote

Skitch

iOS

Skitch is from the makers of Evernote. It allows you to annotate any photo and then share it with others, like your planner or partner. This can be super useful with ideas for vendors.

Hitched Wedding Planner

Pronovias

iOS
You'll find dress shopping help, appointment bookings, to-do lists, budget calculators, guest and table seating charts, and a contact sheet for vendors.

The Knot Ultimate Wedding Planner

The Knot's popular app provides inspiration, venue searches, checklists, budget managers, and guests lists.

WeddingHappy

iOS
This pragmatic app mostly focuses on great to-do lists that can be shared and a few vendors within their search function.

Google Drive

iOS | Android
We've talked extensively about using Google Drive for guest lists, RSVPs, and other functions, but it's pretty limitless overall. You can share documents for catering, vendors, addresses, photos, etc.

Dropbox

Wunderlist

iWedding

iWedding is a general wedding planning app that allows you to manage guest lists, gift trackers, iTunes integration, and to-do lists.

Wedding Planning Complete

Awesome Note

Pinterest Mobile

iOS | Android
With custom boards, private boards, and collaborative boards, Pinterest is a great way to manage image collection. Just watch out for Pinterest fatigue and idea overload!
