Ideas for your  Wedding Web Page

Setting up your own wedding website is one of the best decisions you can make when planning your wedding. You and your wedding guests will both benefit from your choice to create web space dedicated specifically to honor you and your fiancé, and all of the details of your wedding.

Setting up your website will be a great benefit to your guests, and it will be a fun and organized way to keep track of your wedding details.  Here you can share your favorite memories after the wedding and add your own photo albums so your guests can see a record of your wedding.  If you had a video done, add in a few clips to make the site even more entertaining.

If you are looking for things to add before the big day, be creative and have fun with it.   Include dating photos, stories of your relationship, quizzes and polls, and anything else you can think of.  Talk about how you first met, your first date, the story of your engagement, and what your future plans are as a couple.

Include a guestbook so that your guests can participate ahead of time by leaving messages for you that have funny stories, or favorite memories of you either as a child or as a couple.  If you want to go all out and have a large enough wedding, include a forum so that your guests can get to know each other before the wedding even happens. If this works, your wedding will be like a big happy reunion of your loved ones who have gotten to know each other beforehand. 

If you have hired a planner or consultant, post his or her blog and a photo on your site.  Include their site as well.  This professional will be around a lot on your special day, and your guests will feel acquainted with them and at ease.  You can also add links of other vendors of yours on your website, and maybe even negotiate a price with your vendors as a result. If you are giving them some free advertising, maybe they will cut your costs down a little bit.

You can also use your website to eliminate postage and RSVP by having your guests RSVP online.  Put a section in your forum where people can RSVP. This saves time and money for everyone. In this day and age, doing things electronically is always easier than doing it by hand.  Your guests will appreciate this benefit.  You will also have on hand instant printable lists and stats for your RSVPs, meal selection tracking and so much more.
 
Communicate effectively! Perhaps the most practical purpose of a wedding website is that it gives you the ability to post all wedding information online in one organized location. This means your guests can refer to a reliable and up-to-date source anytime they want. Your wedding website will effortlessly convey details that your wedding guests need to know such as:

Gift registry information
Hotel bookings (special rates, reservation codes etc)
Schedules of wedding events
Special requests
Travel accommodations
Backup plans for outdoor weddings
Passport info
Suggested or mandatory dress codes for venues
Maps and directions
Dates, times and addresses
Contact information (emails, cell phone and home phone numbers etc)
Travel agent details (ideal for destination weddings)

Enjoy the compliments you'll receive! Your wedding website is the best way "wow" your wedding guests before your Big Day even arrives!   And it will be a fantastic way to keep in touch with your guests after the big event as well. Have fun!
