Tips for Creating Your Wedding Website


Since personal wedding websites have become so popular with couples who want to share the news of their upcoming big day, we've included one in our Full Service package. It's a great way to share your wedding story with your friends and family. Just send them your personalized wedding website URL so they can stay up-to-date on all your wedding news. 


Here's some tips for creating yours.


1. Don't wait too long! Set it up early in the planning process, (as soon as you have the date and location).  That way you can include your personal website address on your save-the-date cards so any guests who need to make travel arrangements will have the information they need in plenty of time.


2. Make sure it looks like you!  This is your wedding and all about you and your fiancĂ©. Your wedding site should reflect your personal style as a couple so everyone, even those who can’t attend, can really get to know both of you.

3. Keep it tactful. Don’t list your personal website address on your actual invitations. And don’t overemphasize your gift registry by making it the first thing people will see.  


4. Keep it simple. Don’t make your site so full of details and pages that no one can find the essentials that they are looking for. Keep it to a few, well-designed pages.  

5. Keep it focused. Your wedding site is for details about your wedding. It’s not the place to include a lot of personal information. Remember, that your friends and relatives are going to be looking at this site for guidance and you want everyone who visits your site to feel comfortable and welcome. Some of your older relatives, or even your parents, may not want to know all of the details of your first kiss.


Follow these simple tips and your wedding website will be as perfect as your wedding day!
