Wedding Websites

A Wedding website is an extremely valuable resource for you guests. The website is also a value to the bride; Since the guests will (hopefully) look at the website before contacting the bride about their questions, it will save her a lot of time and frustration from dealing with the guests.

There are a few places to make to a wedding website. Popular hosts are theknot.com, mywedding.com, and weddingwire.com. I personally prefer mywedding.com, because it's really simple to use, has a variety of templates and backrounds and most importantly, has an easy url. With mywedding the url would just be http://mywedding.com/(whatever you choose)

Now that you know why you should make one and where to make one, you're probably wondering what to put on it. At the very least it should have the venues, date and times, and accomodations. A more comprehensive website would include:

1. Your story/the proposal
2. The wedding party
3. Wedding events (Engagement party, bridal shower, bachelor/bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception)
4. Accomodations
5. Transportation (Buses/routes, local taxis)
6. Airports (if your guests are out of town)
7. RSVP
8. Your Registry
9. Guestbook
10. Photo Galleries
11. Contact

To inform your guests of the website, you should first send the address with your save the dates. For magnet save the dates, the website address can be placed at the bottom. For paper save the dates it can be at the bottom or on a separate small insert, like printed on a business card. The site should also be sent when the invitations are mailed on a separate small insert.
