Wedding websites are great for:
- providing all of the information you can't squeeze onto your save the date cards
- helping out-of-town guests figure out accommodation and transportation
- giving your guests an easy way to get in touch with you if they have question
- tracking RSVPs to wedding weekend events such as a day-after brunch
- telling the story of how you met and what you're looking forward to about being married
- and of course...showing off those fabulous engagement pictures!
- and after the wedding you can post a thank you note and link to your wedding pictures
The sites are insanely easy to use. Each client gets a log-in and password, I give them a head start by uploading their engagement photos and then they simply choose a template, the color palette that works with their wedding colors, fill in their text and maybe 30-60 minutes later they have a beautiful professional website to share with their guests.
Disclaimer: all of the pictures on this post are simply screen shots of the websites so they're not the most amazing images but you'll just have to deal :)
Stunning flash splash pages that run a little slideshow of pictures:
Great choice of classic and designer templates with numerous color options for a perfect look and feel that fits your style:
Websites come with http://yournames.leahhaydock.com but you can also grab a custom url www.janeandjohn2010.com at somewhere like www.godaddy.com and point it to your site - easy peasy!
You get both an RSVP area and a Guestbook page where guests can reply or leave messages. Lunda & Jonathan used their RSVP page to invite guests to a pre-wedding Day at the Races:
Or you can just keep it as a regular "Contact Us" page. Some couples will set up a specific wedding email account to keep everything in one place or you can use your regular email:
