Ask Google. After searching for the most obscure people, places and terms in seconds, giving you inexhaustible (well, almost) email storage, and figuring out complicated road directions, Google is now figuring out a seating plan for your wedding and taking you to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam

Google says 'I do'

Launched last week, Google Weddings is a new initiative that will help you plan the arrangements leading up to 'I do'. The guys at Google have put together tools to plan your big day so that you have time free to take on important tasks, like "tasting cake", as Senior Product Marketing Manager Lisa Conquergood says on the Google Blog.



A collation of services offered by Google Sites, Google Docs and Picnik, Google Weddings has teamed up with renowned wedding planner Michelle Rago, whose creativity, ideas and insight have guided some of the designs on the site. Rago also shares her experience and tips on wedding planning.

So what can you do here? Create a website using Google Sites and share your story, details of the ceremony, the address and timings, nearby hotels and a gift registry, and direct people to it.

Then create a guest list, a budget, menu, planner and invitations, using Google Docs. One of the highlights here: the preloaded seating chart that has 12 tables differentiated between family and friends.

Google really does think of everything. Google Picnik will let you create themes for the wedding website and help you resize/work photos. Upload those pictures using Picasa, put together online photo albums and then share them.
