having trouble keeping everyone connected?

Although websites for weddings have been around a few years now, people tend to miss out on the many benefits that come with making a website for their wedding! Aside from the opportunity to showcase your fairytale story {by no means do we expect you to leave out those lovey-dovey photos ;)} --if used right, wedding websites have SO many practical functions!

Here are just a few reasons a wedding website will ease some stress and add memories to this special occasion:

1. Essential Information: Even though save-the-dates were sent out months in advance and invitations to follow-let's me honest, people will lose in cards or forget the details. To avoid many phone calls, you can post the who, what, when, and where's on your website. Even providing directions for your guests.
2. Registry: Having a website makes it easy for you to post your registry for all your guests to see and makes it easier for your guests to check at their convenience. 
3. Travel Suggestions: Do you have out of town guests? They will definitely appreciate the local insight on the best places to stay.
4. Suggested Attire: You can keep your invitations simple and add the details on your website, like suggested attire.
5. Bridal Party: In honor of the special people in your life, you can add a section highlighting the bridal party. It'll make them feel appreciated, but also will allow the other guests the opportunity to know the bridal party better and feel more connected on the wedding day. 
6.  Change of plans?: No longer a stressful situation. Just update it on your website and guests will instantly be informed. {Some websites allow guests to subscribe to updates-therefore, as soon as you update information they will be notified via email or text message}
7. Vendors: A way to show your appreciation to all the people that are making your fairytale wedding come true {and to share them with your friends} is by adding a tab that showcases all the companies that are contributing.
8. Engament Photos: Share them with your loved ones! Some even post their wedding photos afterwards!
9. Blog: For those of you out there who love to journal/document the memories, add a blog where you can share your progress planning, your feelings leading up to the big day, and any lessons learned! During those busy months it's hard to stay connected with all your friends and family, this gives them a chance to feel connected through the process. This ALSO is a way for you to reflect on these memories in the many years to come.
10. Guestbook: Add a guest book, it will allow an easy way for your guests to share thoughts, comments, and memories with YOU. 

While making your wedding easier, a website is a way to preserve the memories created during these magical moments! Here are just a few websites that offer FREE websites that are quick and easy to set up:
