One of the newest wedding trends is the use of a wedding website, or a
wed site. As this service becomes increasingly popular, many still
have yet to reap the vast benefits. These sites can be used in various
ways; from providing guests and participants with last-minute updates,
to keeping distant family members and friends abreast of your current
planning stage.
What you should know:
Purpose
The possibilities are endless! Creating a wedding website can help you
accomplish any number, or all, of the options below.
Invitation (scanned)
Map and/or directions
How you met
Proposal Story
Interesting Facts about You & your Fianc้
About the Wedding Party
Online Newsletter for participants
Link to registry
Weather forecasts (for an outdoor wedding)
Out of Town Guest Accommodations
Photographs of shower's, ceremony, reception and honeymoon
...And Much More!
Cost
Wedding websites are a great way to distribute information - often at
a lower cost. For example, inclusion of a map, special requests, etc.
with an invitation, reply card and envelope may increase postage from
$0.60 each to $0.83 per invitation. That's an additional $0.23 per
invite. If you send out 200 invitations, you'd pay $46.00 more.
Many website hosting services allow you to design your own site (using
a basic template), and will host it for FREE. With a free site, you
can purchase your specialized domain name (janeandjohn. com) for as
low as $15.00 for a full year.
If you are not web design savvy, many online wedding website services
will offer you templates and design your site for as low as $99.00 for
eighteen months! In addition, many consultants are now adding websites
to their packages and services offered.
Don't let the cost associated with hosting and design deter you from
setting up a wedding website. Your guests and participants
are sure to love it, and you will too. Now, you're probably wondering
how to get the word out. You can send out a mass email with a link to
your family and friends. And, include an enclosure, about the size of
a business card, listing your site information. It may read something
like:
Be sure to visit Jane and John's Website
for more wedding details.
www.janeandjohn .com
This way you can help answer many question you'll no doubt be asked
repeatedly, such as where you are registered, where's a good hotel,
how do I get to the reception. It is a great way to reach those who
cannot attend due to health difficulties, finances, employment or
military obligations. They will feel they were with you every step of
the way.
