Most of us are ultra-digital these days. Right now from living in digital homes to leading digital lives, everything and anything is about technology, connectivity, connection, and sharing. And of course, it’s all about being online. If so, then why would you want to be passé when it comes to your wedding? Let’s rope in technology and the internet there too, and create your own wedding website!
Share the what, where, when, how
Most of the information you want to share with your guests can be put on your site – to be shared in one go. Wedding venue, directions, maps, available accommodation, dates and timings – it can be effortlessly shared, with no extra cost to you. Also, any changes can be updated easily and alerts sent out to your guests so everyone’s on the same page.
Go eco- and pocket-friendly
Instead of printing out heaps of invitations and RSVP cards, some couples want to go the green route and send out links to their wedding invitation from their wedding website – which works great logistically too. This way you can have all your invites and responses in one place. Not to mention the money you will save on printing, posting, and follow-up phone calls!
Make it personal
Your wedding website can host all sorts of fun trivia about you and your spouse – how you met, your family tales, your fun moments, and more. Most importantly it can be a central location for you to post all your photos – pre-wedding shoots, personal shots, and of course, the wedding and reception photos. You can choose your own visual theme for the website to make it all the more customized for you.
Information for the guests
If you have out of town guests or if yours is a destination wedding, you can even provide travel tips on how to reach the destination, places to see around your wedding venue and other information on local activities. This way your guests can take the opportunity to have a bit of a holiday around your wedding. They will appreciate your thoughtful gesture.
Stay connected
If you can have some interactive features on your site, it will give your guests the opportunity to share in your excitement. They can send you messages, post photos they’ve taken, and send you best wishes and positivity to keep you smiling and hassle-free!
Get some breathing space
Weddings can be stressful to plan and execute so your wedding website can provide a much-needed respite from constant phone calls from various people for the same bits of information. It lets you stay organized and on plan, without requiring much from you.
Oh by the way, it’s easy to create your website – even if you are not too tech savvy. There are varied templates available – you are sure to find one that reflects your style. There are free and paid options, and even the free ones are quite features-rich. You can even buy a domain name to make it more unique. Once you’ve got that in place, all you have to do is fill out your information and you are ready to go… and share!

[…] If you already have two toasters and are looking for an unconventional wedding registry – perhaps consider setting up an account for your favorite charity. There will of course be some guests that would feel much more comfortable with a traditional ‘physical’ gift so another option could be to run a gift registry (try MyList.ae) alongside your charity registry. You could include the details on your wedding invitation or upload onto your Wedding Website. […]
