The choice to use a wedding website is all about personal preference. I love the idea, mostly because I am a computer/email communicator. But, here are all of the reasons I think they are worth considering. Reason #1--RSVP capabilities The very best reason to consider using a wedding website is that most allow your guests to RSVP online! Just press a button and see responses. (Make sure the site you choose has this capability--I have linked two of my favorite sites at the bottom of this post.) Reason #2-- Upload Photos You can upload all of the engagement photos that you couldn't put on your Save the Dates. Why waste those beautiful photos? Let the world see! Reason #3-- electronic communication If it is easier for you to communicate electronically, then a wedding website is for you. With mailing list features, you can send information with a press of a button. What if you need to move the rehearsal dinner the day before because your favorite restaurant just closed down? No problem, you have an email list at your fingertips. Reason #4-- Attachments/ Maps Attach maps. This saves on frantic phone calls the day before saying they've lost the invitation, and where is it again? All they have to do it check your website. It's right there. Reason #5--Gift Registries You can post where your gift registries are so your guests can shop on the go (check their smart phones). Reason #6-- Events Calendar Put parties and events on the event calendar. With all of the parties and rehearsal dinner to remember, this will allow your guests to check your site for date reminders. Reason #7-- Go Green on Save The Dates Save on paper! If you don't want to send save the dates, send a link instead! Here are my top 2 choices for Free Websites that have all of these features. There are of course TONS more out there. Check out MyWedding.com and eWedding.com. Send me your wedding website links! And, Make it Amazing! Dawn |
