The Importance of a Wedding Website

Wednesday, May 6, 2009

After we decided on the what, where, and when, I went about designing a wedding website. (This is our site - I LOVE dragonflies!)
These sites have become very popular over the last few years, especially in the day of myspace pages, personal blogs, and twitter. There are a lot of free sites out there. You could always design and then host your own site too. I ended up going with the program on WedShare and bought the domain name for 18 months. I think you could have a free one, but the address would start out www.wedshare/name of site.com. You need to have important information posted on your site (the when and the where), as well as additional information like hotels, other activities, etc. There's also extras like pictures, blogs, forums, guestbooks, and other goodies. We're going to use our website to keep track of all of our guests and our RSVPs too. Then we emailed our family members that we had addresses for and put the address on our STD to let people know about it (the who and how). For our wedding the site is important, most people will be traveling to the wedding, so they need information about the area, etc. But there will also be a lot of family and friends that are not coming, but still want to know what's going on. This is our "wedding communication" piece that can easily be changed and updated and the information goes out to most of our guests. So for us, this was an important piece to our wedding planning.
What tools have you used to broadcast information to your guests?
