You can now invite your future hubby, friends, and bridal party to BridalTweet. This is a great way to get everyone excited about your wedding. After you invite your friends - why not create your own exclusive BridalTweet Group to keep your friends in the loop on all of your exciting plans?! This is a great way to keep everyone organized and informed of all of your latest wedding details. I hope that you enjoy this new feature of our wedding community. Enjoy!

Welcome to BridalTweet - the newest wedding community dedicated to brides and wedding vendors. I recently got married in June 2008 to the love of my life.

At times, I've felt like I wanted to deepen the new relationships that I've created on Twitter. This new wedding community enables me as well as others to do that. So let's get started!
Be one of the… Continue
