Wedding Websites are a Must!!!
The Internet has made
planning a wedding a much easier process for young couples
of the 21st century. It is a tremendous source of information
for everything you could ever imagine related to the big
day. One application that is becoming increasingly popular
is a wedding website where all of the details of the wedding
can be posted along with many other terrific features.
There are many benefits
to having a wedding website. There is a lot of information
to disseminate, and by putting all of the information online;
the couple eliminates the endless requests for information
that typically occur when a wedding approaches.
Sallie Baldwin of Savannah
Georgia, a recently engaged young woman, appreciated her
wedding website for the information it provided for her
guests. "I wanted a way for our family and friends
to easily access information about events around the wedding.
A lot of our family and friends don't live near us so it
is a way for each other's families to get to know us as
a couple immediately! "
Most wedding websites
allow people to RSVP online. Emily Riggs of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania,
another wedding website user had a very positive reaction
from her guests regarding the RSVP function. "We were
so pleased with the way it worked out, 85% of our RSVP's
came via email - including two sets of grandparents!"
Her guests also found another benefit. "Everybody was
printing our "Our Story", Pictures and Bios so
they could save them."
A huge benefit of a wedding
website is that the couple can have a link to their online
registry. This allows guests to see what the couple has
chosen and to make a contribution without leaving their
home. Kirk Spangenberg of Charleston, South Carolina appreciated
that feature the most. "My favorite part is the link
to the registry. I want to make it as easy as possible for
people to buy us the things we have picked out for our wedding!"
There are also fun things
for the guests to see on some wedding websites, like photos,
a countdown, a poll and quiz about the happy couple. Some
sites have additional features such as a special page for
out of town guests. This allows the couple to provide their
guests with all kinds of information about their city, suggested
accommodations, places to visit, restaurants, and shopping.
Tiffany Duggin of Los Angeles, California appreciated this
feature the most. "I wanted a way for our family and
friends to learn about things to do and see in Philadelphia
" (where the wedding is taking place). Our site had
great links for restaurants, attractions, and lots of other
great stuff in Philly.
Perhaps the greatest
thing of all is that the couple can make everyone a part
of the festivities, even those that could not attend the
event. Lara Goldenberg of Montreal, Canada can attest to
that. "We had a small wedding and could not invite
as many friends and family as we wanted and many people
who live far away could not make the trip. The website allowed
everyone to be a part of our special day."
