The Internet has made planning a wedding a much easier
process for young couples of the 21st century. It
is a tremendous source of information for everything
you could ever imagine related to the big day. One
application that is becoming increasingly popular
is a wedding website where all of the details of
the wedding can be posted along with many other terrific
features.
There are many benefits to having a wedding website.
There is a lot of information to disseminate, and
by putting all of the information online; the couple
eliminates the endless requests for information that
typically occur when a wedding approaches.
Sallie Baldwin of Savannah Georgia, a recently engaged
young woman, appreciated her wedding website for
the information it provided for her guests. "I
wanted a way for our family and friends to easily
access information about events around the wedding.
A lot of our family and friends don't live near us
so it is a way for each other's families to get to
know us as a couple immediately! "
Most wedding websites allow people to RSVP online.
Emily Riggs of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, another
wedding website user had a very positive reaction
from her guests regarding the RSVP function. “We
were so pleased with the way it worked out, 85%
of our RSVP's came via email - including two sets
of grandparents!” Her guests also found
another benefit. “Everybody was printing
our "Our Story", Pictures and Bios so
they could save them.” www.emilyandjustin.weddings.myevent.com
A huge benefit of a wedding website is that the
couple can have a link to their online registry.
This allows guests to see what the couple has
chosen and to make a contribution without leaving
their home. Kirk Spangenberg of Charleston, South
Carolina appreciated that feature the most. “My
favorite part is the link to the registry. I want
to make it as easy as possible for people to buy
us the things we have picked out for our wedding!"

There are also fun things for the guests to see
on some wedding websites, like photos, a countdown,
a poll and quiz about the happy couple. Some sites
have additional features such as a special page
for out of town guests. This allows the couple
to provide their guests with all kinds of information
about their city, suggested accommodations, places
to visit, restaurants, and shopping. Tiffany Duggin
of Los Angeles, California appreciated this feature
the most. "I wanted a way for our family
and friends to learn about things to do and see
in Philadelphia “ (where the wedding is
taking place). Our site had great links for restaurants,
attractions, and lots of other great stuff in
Philly. www.tiffanyandjason.weddings.myevent.com
Perhaps the greatest thing of all is that the
couple can make everyone a part of the festivities,
even those that could not attend the event. Lara
of Montreal, Canada can attest to that.
“We had a small wedding and could not invite
as many friends and family as we wanted and many
people who live far away could not make the trip.
The website allowed everyone to be a part of our
special day”. www.laraandjohn.weddings.myevent.com
