Creating a Web site for Your Wedding

Technology. How can we live without it these days, you may ask yourself. However, you may still think that weddings are still a big No-No for using this wonderful technology we call the Internet. Think again.

A long, long time ago, there was a time that you would not have even thought about using anything but your hand to send save-the-date cards or even invitations, let alone have your very own Web site just for your wedding details for the world to see – well, at least your family and friends.

I, for one, still would not use the Internet to send invitations. I still like the old-fashioned snail mail way. However, I am all for technology and the many ways you can use it to help serve you and your family and friends. How? By having your own wedding Web site.

You can include as much or as little detail as you want. It’s a great way for guests to purchase a gift directly from your registry online or to get maps and directions to the ceremony and reception sites.

You can post pictures of you and your groom, engagement party or other pre-wedding events as well as write a story of how you met and how he proposed. It helps bring your friends and family closer before the wedding by being a part of your planning process. You can even have your own blog now to keep everyone updated on your plans. You may even want to keep your wedding Web site up after the wedding for awhile to post pictures from the ceremony, reception and even your honeymoon. This would help those who could not attend feel as if they were there.

If this is something you would be interested in having, please contact my Web site designer. Barb will be happy to help you design your very own wedding Web site. Contact her at: info@wnetdesign.com.
