Plan Your Wedding with Claude

Anvaya is a wedding planning workspace for guests, vendors, budget, events, tasks, dress codes, dietary preferences, the works. Connect it to Claude and all of that becomes part of every chat. Ask Claude a wedding question and you get two things at once: what's in your workspace, paired with what Claude already knows about hotels, vendors, traditions, and pricing.

This page explains what you can do once it's connected, what permissions it has, and how to troubleshoot if something goes sideways.

Add it to Claude#

1. Open Claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Browse directory. Find Anvaya.

2. Click Connect. You'll be sent to anvaya.love to sign in. Use the same account you use for your dashboard.

3. Approve. Review the requested permissions and click Allow. You'll be sent back to Claude automatically.

   

That's it. Claude detects wedding-planning questions automatically, so you don't need to mention "Anvaya" by name.

Five prompts to try tonight#

"Help me plan my wedding"#

The catch-all opener. Claude calls get_dashboard, reads your full wedding snapshot (days to the next event, guest count and confirmation rate, budget progress, task completion), and tells you what needs attention.

In the example above Claude calls out a $15K budget overage on paper, 18 RSVPs still pending before the caterer headcount lands, and the marriage license appointment as the most urgent next step. All grounded in your real data. No generic checklist.

"Who still hasn't RSVP'd?"#

Claude pulls a per-event RSVP breakdown (yes / maybe / no / pending) across every event you're tracking.

Each event shows accepted vs invited and days until the date. Ask Claude to draft a reminder for the slow movers on a specific event and you approve before anything sends.

"How's my budget looking?"#

Claude reads your budget (total, allocated, spent, remaining) and flags categories running over.

Photography running 18% over and florals 16% over isn't something you'd notice scrolling a spreadsheet. Claude surfaces it inline and can drill into either category if you ask.

"Compare my photographer options"#

Claude reads every saved photographer quote (package, hours, contact, status) and lays them side-by-side.

Booked vendors get a green pill; the one Claude thinks is best value gets a gold "Recommend" pill. You can ask why it picked the one it did, or ask it to draft a follow-up to the others.

"What tasks need attention this week?"#

Claude reads your task list and groups by urgency: overdue first, then this week.

Each card shows the task, how overdue or how soon, and the category. Ask Claude to check items off as you finish. Every mutation confirms before it's recorded.

What Claude can and can't do#

It can read: guests, vendors, budget, events, tasks, gifts, comments, RSVP status, activity, signals.

It can write (always confirms first): add or edit guests, vendors, budget items, tasks, events. Add comments. Draft messages.

It cannot: send any message, email, or text without your explicit approval. Access weddings you don't have a role on. Do anything your Anvaya role doesn't allow. A Family Contributor through Claude has Family Contributor permissions, not more.

Every change Claude makes is logged on your Activity feed in the Anvaya dashboard with the exact tool used, the parameters, the timestamp, and what changed. Mistakes are recoverable.

Troubleshooting#

Claude says it can't find your wedding. Your connector might be authorized for a different wedding, or your primary wedding has been changed. Re-authorize from Claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Anvaya → Reconnect.

Claude is giving you generic answers without checking Anvaya. Try being slightly more specific, like "look at my actual mehndi event" or "use my real guest list." Some questions Claude can answer without your data; mentioning a specific entity nudges it to check.

You see a "permission denied" error. Your role on the wedding doesn't allow that action. Member management requires Couple permissions. Deletes require Family Admin or higher.

Something looks wrong on the Activity feed. Open the affected record in the Anvaya dashboard. Every record can be edited or deleted manually.

Removing the connector#

Claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Anvaya → Disconnect. One click. Your data stays exactly where it was, the connection just goes cold.
