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".
