5 Tips for creating a personal wedding website.

How do you keep your sanity when planning your wedding?  The phone rings all the time with friends and family wanting to know how the wedding planning is going.  Just when you think you have a little time to yourself you are surrounded by everyone asking questions like “How’s it going?”  “What are your wedding colors?”  “How many bridesmaids are you having?”  The list goes on and on.  Understandably everyone is happy for you and wants to feel special and informed.  How can you accomplish this and keep your sanity?  

One of the best decisions you could make would be to create your own wedding website. They’re quick and easy to set up. Plus, they’re a great way to keep all of your guests up to date on all things related to your wedding. Here's an interesting fact.  69% of brides use a personal wedding website!  What does that tell you?  They work!

There are a couple of places you can look at a wedding website to create such as brides.com & weddingwire.com.  They have many wedding templates to choose from and best of all they are FREE! Below are just a few options from weddingwire.com

Five Tips For Having The Perfect Wedding Websites

1. Make sure it looks like you! One of the ways you do this is by choosing a website template that speaks to you and your personality.  The goal is to have your website reflect your personality. 

2. Follow Etiquette. Don’t list the website on your actual invitations. Instead, include it on another item enclosed in the packet such as the response card. Make sure you don’t overemphasize your gift registry. 

3. Keep it simple. Don’t make your site so full of details and pages that no one can find the essentials that they’re looking for. So keep it to a few, well-designed pages.  

4. Your wedding website is the perfect place to mention the proper wedding attire for you guests.  You’d be surprised what people wear to a wedding when they don’t have direction.

5 Having a destination wedding?  Why not list places your guests might want to visit.  This will be really helpful to them and shows you care about the total experience they will have attending your wedding celebration.
