Creating Personal Wedding Websites That Rock

By Essie Osborn


The day a bride and groom come together in matrimony is one that is extremely anticipated. There's such a buzz in the air, and so much to do to make it just right. One of the best practices of late is creating personal wedding websites, for many reasons which can be discovered below.

One thing it serves to do is provide guests with some insight regarding the upcoming nuptials and the party that will follow. This way, they are prepared for anything that may come their way. Personalize the site, beginning with a welcoming homepage that demonstrates sincere appreciation for their taking the time to visit.

The greeting can go further into detail by providing the time and date of the ceremony, and what's to follow, and where. It's also a good place to vaguely introduce the menu as well as whether it's a formal event, the type of music and dancing, and so on. This will help them plan their wardrobes and will give them some idea of what to expect on this special day.

Tell the story of how the happy couple came to be, as many may not be familiar with it. Keep it short but sweet, and don't forget to mention how he popped the question and where the couple will be honeymooning. Also, take advantage of this platform to display treasured photos of the couple and the families.

No one needs to be a webmaster, but create it logically and in an organized fashion. Give details about the when, where and what to wear. This will serve to prepare guests in advance so they fit in when they arrive. Also, opt for a simple and good sized font to make for easy reading. Get help from a friend to proofread the text prior to publishing.

Provide vital information that would be appreciated by all guests. For instance, there may be a cocktail hour before the dinner that is strictly for adults. This would prepare parents with young children to make other arrangements.

A wedding website is also a good place that guests can refer to as invitations can easily go missing. Therefore, make sure to provide all the vital information like addresses and maps to both the place of the ceremony as well as the reception. Many guests can also refer to the site to get a better feel of the venue and how to dress appropriately and comfortably.

Being so handy and available 24/7, guests can refer to the site to get contact information, should they need to communicate with the bride or groom. Therefore, provide those numbers and email addresses. This is also the perfect platform to give out-of-town guests more information about the city and accommodations in proximity to the venue. Don't forget to supply some good eateries and other important amenities to make their stay more comfortable.

The registry is another great thing to mention so guests know exactly what the bride and groom want. It simplifies gift giving and everyone is happy in the end. Moreover, the responsible party for the registry, which is likely the maid of honor, should be mentioned with her contact information, should they have any questions for her. Be sure to get permission from her or anyone else before offering their contact information.
