A growing trend for engaged couples are Wedding Websites. The following article is filled with tips found in the Huffing Post in an article written by Kimberly Miller of Leaflet PR.
More and more couples are putting together websites to document and publish the time spent together while engaged, the wedding celebration and more. Technology prevented the majority of people from being able to do this – unless you were a website designer – until more recently. These days you can find several web design companies that allow you to design your own sites for a minimum cost….even free!
Here are a list of tips – in no particular order of importance….
Tip Number 1: Try to come up with an easy, memorable URL. If available, try to secure a domain name that has both of your names - this makes it more memorable for your family and a bit more special for you, too. Here are a couple examples:
- JimlovesTrish.com
- JimandTrishWedding.com
Tip Number 2: You have to include the information about your venues. You'll want your guests to have as much information as possible so they can easily find the venues and arrive on time. This page can have the following:
- A map that can supply directions. One way is to embed a Google Map.
- Phone number for a contact at the venue
- Time ceremony starts
- Any additional special instructions or information
Tip Number 3: You need to include hotel information. List multiple hotels in the area to offer your guests plenty of options at different price ranges.
Tip Number 4: Make sure your registry information is on the site. Many stores offer an online element for their registries. You can link directly to your registry from this page.
Tip Number 5: You HAVE TO include your proposal story!! This is your chance to talk about how the proposal happened. Your friends and family will want to know all the details!
Tip Number 6: Include photo albums. Photo albums on wedding sites can be compiled into different categories. Here are ideas for how to organize your photos into different albums:
- As Kids
- As a couple
- Engagement pictures
- Wedding and reception pictures
- Honeymoon pictures
Tip Number 7: You can include an RSVP form. Let your guests RSVP straight from the website.
Tip Number 8: Include your Vendors. Here's the chance to promote the vendors (Here comes a shameless plug....like your favorite Raleigh DJ Company - Ninety Nine Entertainment) that you're excited about. You can include links to their sites with a short description of why you love them and why everyone else should use them as well!
Tip Number 9: Include the wedding date. Be sure to include this on the homepage and many additional pages, perhaps at the bottom of each page (the footer) or incorporated at the top in the header.
I hope this helps! Keep it fun!!!
