Event Planning Content
A wedding website can help make your work easier. It helps you manage different aspects of your wedding ensuring your planning process runs smoothly. It also helps you inform your guests about the wedding details. Just like traditional invitations, there are several options available when it comes to wedding websites. To avoid any confusion, here are ways you can narrow your choices.
Before you get into launching your wedding website, it’s important to sort out all the important information and wedding details first. Once you share the URL with guests, they should be able to find all of the information they need to know about your wedding ceremony, from addresses to parking details, dates/times, attire suggestions and the possible menu options on your website.
You can also include photos on your website. We suggest including your engagement photos to provide your website with a more personalized touch, but it’s alright if you didn’t do a photoshoot of your engagement. You can just simply use your favorite photos of you and your significant other as a couple. Other photos you can include are destination photos if you are planning a destination wedding, venue photos, amenities, attractions, and hotels.
After gathering all the necessary information, here is how you can build your customized wedding website.
Choose a theme that reflects your style. you can make it more personalized by adding a photo of you and your fiancee. If you have engagement photos, they will be even better for your website.

Put the basic information on the website. This includes the wedding date and the venue. Having a save the date page is better since you will have room to inform your guest if the venue changes. Since you cannot put all the information at once, ensure you keep updating the website and send notifications to your guests when you make any updates. That way, they will always be informed.
In addition to the wedding date and venue, you will want to add more information. When someone clicks on your website, they should see the following information; travel information, hotel details and directions to the venue, in case you’re having a destination wedding. Be as clear as possible. Ideally however, you’ll want to have all this information already prepared and on the site, so the first time someone checks it they can have all the pertinent information they need.
It is common courtesy not to share your registry information on your wedding invitation card, so your wedding website is a perfect place to share your registry information. Include sections that indicate where you’ve registered and links to those retailers.
You can also add other sections to your website, such as allowing your guests to search for flight information and RSVP directly from your website. You can let your guests get more interactive with the website as well, such as asking for friends and family to submit song requests, dietary restrictions, or other special needs.
The important part of website building procedure is to continuously keep it updated. If details changes, make sure to add them to the site and notify your guests. The more up-to-date your wedding website is, the more helpful it will be to your guests.
