Give The Bride And Groom A Personal Wedding Web Page

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Do you know someone who is getting married? If you do, you need to start thinking about the perfect bridal gift. What will make the couple’s upcoming event easier to plan? Is there something you can give them to help them with the nuptial details? Yes, there is. Consider buying the couple a personal wedding web page!

This is not your traditional crystal candlestick gift. You know the couple will receive plenty of these from other friends and family members. But, if you really want to give them a special gift that they can treasure for many years, a website is the way to go!

Why is a website such a great gift? First, many couples do not consider building a website for two reasons. One reason is that they are so busy planning the details of their ceremony, they do not have time to look into the various options to find the best company. Second, they are trying to save money, and, in their minds, a website is not a necessity. You can show them how wrong they are when you buy them their website. The site allows the couple to post important information as well as personal stories about themselves and photos.

The trick is finding the right company that will allow the couple to create a personal wedding web page without a lot of time and effort. As you already know, their time is valuable, and the big day is approaching quickly. Look for a company that offers the couple easy-to-use, ready-to-go templates for their site. Also, find a company that unique, quality template options, so that your couple can create a one-of-a-kind site.

Next, find a website that will make planning easier. With the right company, your gift will allow the couple to keep track of their RSVP responses more efficiently, plan their bridal budget with online calculators and advice, and prepare for the big day with essential checklists. Many couples find that after they have their personal wedding web page, they do not know how they survived without it.

Finally, find a website design company that allows their web pages to be used as keepsakes. Your couple can keep their website up long after the ceremony, going back to enjoy the memories captured in pictures, videos, and guest book comments. They may even decide to have the photo albums and guest books burned onto a CD to help them keep the memories alive throughout their marriage. This keepsake is the most precious gift you could give a married couple.

WedShare allows clients to build a personal wedding web page. The company provides professional-looking templates and user-friendly organizational and interactive features for planning and posting ceremony details, personal stories, and photos.

Designing Your Couple Wedding Website

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Have you decided to build a couple wedding website to showcase your upcoming event? You need to decide how you are going to build the website. Is it going to be fun and flirty, or elegant and refined? Whatever your choice, the website should mirror your individual personalities, and the unique union you have as a pair. Here is some advice on how to design your web page.

First, make sure that the website is useful, besides looking great. You need to have interactive features built into the site that allow your guests to RSVP, upload pictures and memories, leave messages, and e-mail the bride or groom. These features cannot be sacrificed, because, without them, the bride and groom can face endless frustration. But, with the right company, you can have function with fun and style.

Next, make sure your couple wedding website is complete with the helpful information your guests will want. Consider posting maps or directions to important locations in the town where you are planning to wed. Will your guests know where the restaurants are? If not, give them a list of eateries with phone numbers. Does everyone know the schedule of events? Consider posting it on the site. In order to include enough information your guests need, you are going to want a website design company that allows you unlimited pages. And be careful, because many sites do offer unlimited pages, but at an extra fee. This service should be free.

Now for the fun part: Choose a template that matches your personality as well as the theme of your ceremony. Are you having a fun, nontraditional ceremony? Then, find a nontraditional website template! Is your ceremony full of traditional elegance? Then, choose a coordinating template! As you can see, you need a wide range of templates to choose from.

Make your website entertaining! This will encourage your guests to come and explore the site. See whether your couple wedding website can include background music. Music is one of the best ways to show exactly who you are to your visitors. Find a website that allows you to upload many pictures. Include fun candids as well as professional portraits. Let the visitors to the site see the “real” Mr.-and-Mrs.-to-be. Include a countdown to the big day and a page of online polls for your guests to share their opinions. The more interactive the site is, the more fun your visitors will have.

It offers various features such as personal domain names, colors and templates for design, online polls, and the ability to RSVP.

Why Every Couple Needs A Wedding Web Page

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Do you and your fiancé consider yourselves to be a modern couple? Are you up-to-date with technological changes and the newest, best gizmos and gadgets? Even if you are not, if you are getting married, life is a lot easier with a wedding web page.

Why is a website so helpful? Simply because a website about your romance is very convenient. Imagine being able to plan your ceremony without fielding hundreds of phone calls asking you the same questions again and again. When you have a website that is full of the answers to these questions, you can direct your guests and family members to the site to save time.

Not only that, but a wedding web page also simplifies your planning. With the right site, you and your fiancé can organize your guest list, plan seating arrangements, give your bridal/groom party a chance to get to know each other, and prepare your nuptial budget, right from your computer. Keeping track of this information online saves your guests the frustration that inevitably comes when paper lists are lost or inadvertently thrown away. Nothing can be “thrown away” from your website. Any time you and your loved ones need the information, you have instant access.

When it comes to mailing RSVP cards with your nuptial invitations for the number of guests intending to come to your reception, you may not even want to bother. What often happens to these little cards is that they get lost. Although you thoughtfully stamp them to save your guests money, there is always a percentage your guests who will never return them. Even with this preparation, you may not know for sure how many guests are going to be there.

With a wedding web page, you can direct your guests to RSVP online. When you tell friends and family that you have a website, they are going to be curious. They will remember to visit the website because of this curiosity, and they can enter their RSVP response right there. You do not have to pay for the expensive cards, and they do not have to remember to send them in. Even if you send the traditional RSVP cards, an online RSVP feature is a great backup.

Having a website to showcase your big event will allow you to share your photographs and videos with everyone you know. This allows friends, family, and bridal/groom party members to relive your memories over and over without having to come to your home to look at photo albums. You can create interactive albums directly on your website. Guests even have the ability to upload to the site the candids they took at the ceremony and reception, making it easy for them to share with you!

Visit WedShare at www.wedshare.com to create a customized wedding web page. The company offers easy-to-design templates for professional-looking sites as well as various organizational features. Clients can sign up for a 14-day trial.

What To Look For In A Wedding Planning Website

Monday, March 12th, 2007

The modern bride is smart to have a wedding planning website. With the wide range of choices for a company to build your website, you need to know how to choose the right one. These are the items that most brides find to be the most helpful on their websites.

Free Trial Period

First, look for a website company that offers a free trial. The free trial is important because it allows you to design your web page and then explore the tools and tidbits included in the company’s service, before spending any money on the site. If you do not love the results, you do not have to pay.

Template Options

For you to design the perfect website for your big day, you need to find a company with many different templates to choose from. To add even more variety, a good company will offer different colors on their various templates. The more variety you have, the less likely it will be that your web page will look like anyone else’s, allowing you to highlight your uniqueness as a couple. And look for quality over sheer quantity: some companies will boast a large number of templates to choose from, but their templates are really just the same design with different imagery thrown in.

Preparation Tools

Other features that many brides find they cannot live without are the organizational and preparation tools on their wedding planning website. A good site will have checklists, address books, guest books, tutorials, and etiquette advice built in. This is invaluable information to the bride-to-be, both before and after the nuptial ceremony!

Domain Name

Look for a web page that allows you to select your own domain name. Many companies simply give you a domain name that is a subsection of their domain name, such as www.johnandmartha.weddingsite.com. This type of address is wordy, and will be difficult for your guests to remember. You want the ability to design your own domain name, such as www.johnandmartha.com. Your own domain name is also great for adding right to your invitations and other wedding stationery.

Interactive Features

Most nuptial sites will allow the bride and groom to post maps to their ceremony location, polls for their guests, and even quizzes to see how well the guests really know the couple. This type of interactive design encourages guests to stop and stay when visiting the site. Also, an invaluable part of a wedding planning website is the RSVP option that many have. This feature allows the guests to enter their intention to attend the event in an online form, saving time for the bride and groom.

Video and Pictures

Finally, the best websites for the modern bride and groom will give them the ability to upload videos and pictures for their friends and family to enjoy. You may have relatives who cannot make it to your special day yet still want to feel like they were a part of the event. With pictures and video, you can share your memories with the world. Another option to look for is a site that gives your guests the ability to upload on your site the pictures or videos that they took. Nothing is quite as fun as reliving the event through someone else’s eyes.

WedShare offers clients their own wedding planning website to build lasting memories for the bride and groom. Clients receive full customization with various templates, organizational tools, their own domain name, as well as unlimited web pages. Visit www.wedshare.com for a free trial.

Benefits Of A Custom Wedding Website

Monday, March 12th, 2007

There are many benefits to having your own custom wedding website. First, a web page for your big day helps you with your planning. The right website will give you checklists, address books, RSVP options, and other features that help to consolidate your planning details into one location. From your website, you should be able to give your guests directions to your ceremony location, answer frequently asked questions, and send e-mails to bridal/groom party members, family, and friends.

Another advantage of having your own web page for your ceremony is the ability to share your memories with those you are closest to. You can share photos of your engagement location, tell the story of how he/she proposed, and post video of the ceremony for those who could not attend. A custom wedding website allows you to do all of these things so that your guests and family stay connected to your plans.

Without a web page for your ceremony, you are likely to be bombarded with phone calls from those attending your ceremony. They will want to know where they should book their hotel room, how to get to your church, what they should wear, and whether or not they can change their meal choice. As a bride- and groom-to-be, you two have enough to worry about without dealing with these incessant phone calls. Creating your own website allows you to avoid these questions without being disrespectful to those you hold dear.

Building your website allows you to share more than just your ceremony. You can keep your site running long after the ceremony to share your honeymoon and newlywed memories with those you love. Everyone can share these timeless memories with you, through digital photo albums.

With a custom wedding website, your guests will not have to worry about losing your invitation, maps, or RSVP cards. Even if your guests accidentally misplace the important information, your guests will find all the details they need on your web page. This saves you hassle and frustration as your event date approaches.

Perhaps your big event involves guests who do not know you well. Maybe your fiancé’s friends have never met you. You can include a section on your web page that tells your guests a little more about you. This gives them the chance to get to know you before attending your big event. Also, you can show your loved ones what the two of you are like as a couple. Some couples find that including an “About Me” section that profiles their bridal/groom party members helps break the ice for those who do not know each other prior to the ceremony.

WedShare has different templates that allow clients to create their own custom wedding website. With multiple pre-designed templates that are easy to customize, you can create your web page quickly and simply. Clients are provided with checklists and how-to guides to keep their planning on track, as well as the interactive features needed to keep everyone up to date with the plans. Visit www.wedshare.com for more information.

Using A Free Personal Wedding Website

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Trying to decide whether or not you want a site for your nuptials? Setting up a free personal wedding website is a great way to try the service and find out whether a web page is one of the modern nuptial traditions you want to enjoy. Web pages are one of the most exciting new nuptial trends, and you do not want to miss out on this technology when planning your ceremony. They make planning easier and more streamlined, and also improve communications with guests, family, and bridal/groom party members.

With a web page for your event, you can manage all of your details in one convenient place. You can ensure that your guests have access to your ceremony information at any hour of the day. This access eliminates late-night phone calls from your distant relatives, who are looking for information about hotels in the area. You can put that information on your page. You may choose to post maps, hotel information, and request RSVPs directly from your page.

A free personal wedding website is also a great way to involve the “man of the hour” in the bridal plans. Most grooms have little opinion about bridal colors, flowers, and dress styles, but they do enjoy technology. You will find that your husband-to-be will enjoy helping you plan and design a web page for your big day. This process is a great way to spend some time as a couple in the hectic days that lead up to a well-planned ceremony.

Another benefit of having a web page for your nuptial plans is that you will be able to keep it for years to come. You want to find a web page design company that allows you to burn your memories onto a CD. This allows you to keep the comments, well wishes, pictures, and videos on the site for a precious memory of your special event.

To find a good company to work with to design your web page, look for one that offers a free personal wedding website trial. This trial will allow you to see the services the company offers before you pay for the site. You will also want to find a web page that allows your guests to RSVP and leave comments for you. Another good feature for your web page is online polling. This allows you to survey your guests and find out their ideas for your special event, giving your guests the feeling that they are helping you plan without the need for you to listen to endless pieces of advice.

Finally, look for a company that allows you to change the site at will. This feature is important, because nuptial plans change. You do not want to build your ceremony details around your site, but rather to build your site around your ceremony.

WedShare has all of these features and so much more. They offer a generous free personal wedding website trial period for clients to see what their service has to offer. WedShare allows new brides and grooms to have unlimited web pages on their site, allowing them to have a page for any information they wish to share with their guests. Visit their website at www.wedshare.com to find out more about this service.
