Build a Wedding Website

One of the best suggestions I can give engaged couples is to create a wedding website. This is really easy and there are several websites to go to with pre-made templates so all you have to do is add a little content and a few pictures. If you want a very simple site and you’re using theknot.com for other things already, then that may work for your wedding website. If you would like more variety and room for a detailed website I strongly recommend mywedding.com. Mywedding.com has tons of options, makes the entire process extremely easy, and it is FREE. I strongly recommend making a website, it really helps out your wedding guests, it should be fun, and it adds yet another personal touch.

1) Your Guests: This is probably the biggest benefit you’ll have after making this website. Imagine a place where every guest you invite can find out all the necessary information about your wedding in one spot. Let me warn you, regardless of how much you have going on, people will call you and ask you for help booking flights, hotel rooms, or just to ask “when is this wedding?” Having a website answers a ton of these questions for you.

Your website can have a page with directions from every way possible, a list of all nearby airports, and directions from each hotel to the ceremony site. If you’re expecting a lot of out-of-towners you can choose a hotel(s), set up a group discount, and possibly have a link directly on your site to book a discounted room. This is just the beginning of how a website can help your guests and you.

2) For Fun: Making the website can be a fun activity for you and your fiancée to work on throughout your engagement. Sitting with each other to pick out the colors, the format, and figuring out what to write can be a relaxing and intimate way of working together. Not only can you work together to organize the nuts and bolts for your guests, think about how much fun you can have sitting together and writing the story of how you first met and sharing that story will your loved ones.

The website I recommend, mywedding.com, really makes the process as simple as possible. You don’t need to know any HTML code or anything like that. They have all of the pages set up for you, you just enter the information. They even have the most common pages like hotels, directions, and the registry set up for you.

3) Personal: Not only will creating the website be a good experience for you, but it is another way to share your relationship with the people closest to you. Your friends and family including the relatives you haven’t seen in a while might really enjoy reading about the proposal. It should be nice way to connect with your guests.

In addition, you can add a music recommendation page or a guest book so people can post a message for you. There are several options to make interact with your guests.
