Planning & Communicating with Your Guests Online
Want to make your wedding more informative, more interactive, and even more memorable than ever before? Consider creating your own wedding website, a wonderful way to keep your wedding party and guests informed of all details—site, time, directions—to update photos of your big day, and of course, post those fabulous honeymoon pictures that will last forever.
Starting your own website is simple, even if you’re not computer-savvy: Many sites guide you through the process and help you keep updating the news, and OurWeddingDay.com offers the service for free.
You should set up your personal wedding website immediately after you’ve set your date because it can make updating your address book, sending Save the Dates and invitations, organizing vendors and creating your registries a piece of cake. Start by choosing a theme, then add oodles of features: RSVP’s can be taken care of online (you can even take care of the “chicken or fish” question) and, should you be so inclined, you can add extras like a video of his proposal or audio of “your song”
Wedding websites are incredibly useful tools as the big day approaches. In addition to fun factors, like a wedding-planning blog, you can post the complete itinerary: Ceremony and reception details, activities for guests, directions for the rehearsal dinner, local weather for travelers and local attractions for guests. Wedding web sites are also terrific places to post locations of museums, pubs, hiking trips, and other activities for guests.
What’s more, putting together a wedding web site is fun. You can upload photos of your guests as they arrive, post quizzes, have a video of the big day posted immediately after your ceremony, and announce the details of brunch the next morning.
Perhaps most important, though, is your wedding website’s permanence: At OurWeddingDay they never expire, so they’re also a safe place to keep photos, guest book notes and more, easily accessible forever.
Finally, wedding web sites are a great way to go Green, as so much of the information is delivered without paper. Wedding web sites are helpful, convenient, eco-friendly, and fun. Next to the guy you’re in love with, they’re one of the best reasons to say “I do,” and get started with the planning.
