Wed Sites Put your wedding Web site to good use and give your guests a taste of your love story 
You’ve called your family, texted your friends, tweeted the news of your engagement and changed your relationship status on Facebook. What’s the next step in declaring your nuptials? Make a wedding Web site, of course. Sure, you have Facebook and Twitter to quickly share your excitement and vent your planning frustrations, but your own “wed site” is the only place to keep friends and family up-to-date with the need-to-know info of your big day. Picking a Site Several sites like TheKnot.com, mywedding.com, and theweddingvendor.com offer free wedding Web sites. At weddingwindow.com and weddingtracker.com, you can choose a premium package for a charge, which will give you perks like a domain name, more storage space for photos and extra layout options. Some sites, like ewedding.com, offer both free and premium packages. Choose your package based on what perks are most important to you. Unless you pay extra for a domain name, your wedding URL will follow your host’s URL. (Think www.mattandlaura.com versus http://www.theknot.com/ourwedding/yougettheidea). Having a shorter URL may save your guests some sanity when they’re trying to find your site. You’ll also have to print the whole thing on your save-the-dates if you want to drive traffic there. The ‘Wed Site’ Advantage Once you’ve picked which site to use, enjoy putting the site together. “It’s fun and it’s an exciting way to announce your engagement,” says Jake Molgaard, co-founder of TheWeddingVendor.com, which currently offers 5,000 free wedding Web sites. “Brides really enjoy being able to post their pictures.” Other common information the site will ask for is your proposal story, information on your bridal party and the story of your relationship itself. TheWeddingVendor.com takes all of your guests’ online RSVPs and organizes them into two lists so you can track who’s coming and who can’t make it. Your guests can also sign the guestbook, check out your wedding date countdown, answer polls and check out more info on your wedding day. But your site will offer more than just the when and where. “It’s really become a place to tell details,” says Sarah Pierce, communications director for mywedding.com. Check out the privacy options on your site and make sure to not flaunt intimate details you don’t want Aunt Margaret to come across. But have fun with it, Pierce says. “[Your guests] want to hear how you met, what the great proposal was. And they want to hear it from both the bride and the groom’s perspective,” she says. “More than anything people want to be involved in your love story.” To RSVP online … ? While having your guests RSVP for your wedding online might sound like a great idea, take care before you rely solely on your site to organize your guest list. Sending around your URL can be ideal for guests who are far away as it would ensure the information gets there on time. “One couple sent out invitations to their guests but a lot of them were abroad and didn’t get them in time, but they got the information from their Web site,” says Pierce. But don’t forget older relatives and less tech-savvy guests who might not be able to reach your site, or who may not be able to figure out how to RSVP or will accidentally send in the wrong response. To keep your yes’s and no’s, straight, don’t rule out a formal invitation. Think of your site as something extra to share information with your guests, not the sole place where they can mark that they are attending. After all, Pierce and Molgaard doubt wed site RSVPs will ever phase out tangible invitations. |
