Users are also able to view the contact information of vendors through the app and reach them directly.
Couples are also able to design their wedding invitation via a variety of templates before sending it out via WeChat, texts or email to friends and family. After the guests have accepted the invitation via an invitation code entered into the MarryMemo app, they are automatically added to a guest list, and future pictures uploaded or interactions with the couple via the MarryMemo app will automatically be collected in one place for future reminiscing.
Yet another function of MarryMemo is the Wedding Story function, which allows couples to tell their love story via a series of captioned photographs. MarryMemo also organizes contests for users of the app whereby prizes are given out to the couple with the best Wedding Story, and also posts events that the couples might be interested in, such as Wedding Expos in various cities in China.
