These days, it seems like everyone has a web site. Your bank, your hair salon, even your little niece has her own web site! Having a place to plan your wedding and stay in touch with your guests (without having to constantly send out updates through traditional means - telephone, snail mail, etc.) can be a huge time-saver, for both you AND your guests. Wedding websites are becoming so popular now that there are now a number of web design companies specializing in wedding sites - offering competitive pricing and an array of useful wedding-related tools and features. For example, you can offer your guests the option of RSVPing online via your website, signing your online guestbook, or printing out driving directions, maps and other details for the big day. Why not put some links to area attractions and day trips on the site as well? Other features offered by wedding website services include the ability to upload your favorite photos to your site, a countdown timer to the date of your wedding, and a "Contact Us" form so that your guests can reach you by email. Some firms even offer an online "poll" feature - you could invite your guests to vote on where they think you should spend your honeymoon, for example. The best part about wedding web sites these days is that the price is more affordable than ever due to some healthy competition between design firms. In addition, nearly all of the companies that I've looked at offer a free trial of their service with no credit card required - a great way to find out if a wedding web site can make YOUR life a little easier! |
