"Did you get our RSVP?"
"I need directions to the church!"
"When is the bridal shower?"
"Can groomsmen pick up their tuxes yet?"
"I don't remember where you're registered!"
Coordinating the details of your big day will be stressful enough, why make it worse by fielding all of your guests' concerns on your own? A new trend rapidly gaining popularity is the personalized wedding website. Like a computerized personal assistant, these sites allow you to do everything from manage RSVP's online to post pictures after the wedding for your guests to enjoy. It will most likely cost you a small monthly subscription, but it is well worth it. Top features you receive are among the following:
Personalized web address
For example, "julieandmark.com" or "marklovesjulie.com". This feature makes your site both personalized and easy to remember.
Personal stories and photos
Perfect to share the story of how you met and got engaged, this feature allows family and friends to learn something they might not have known, while introducing the two of you to guests who might not yet know you very well.
Introduce the Bridal Party
Guests always want to know who you've selected as your bridal party, and now you can let them know with a page dedicated to bios and photos of your special group.
Online RSVP
Saves time, money and the stress of slacker guests who forget to mail response cards! Guests can RSVP to your wedding right on your site, and you can keep track of who has responded and who hasn't (via mail or online) when you log in. Many sites will send you an email immediately after a guest responds. This is also an easy way for guests to select their meal, if needed.
Quizzes and Polls
Can't decide on a first dance song or honeymoon location? Have visitors help decide with an interactive poll! Or, see how well your friends and family know you with a quiz.
The possibilities are endless. Customizable pages where you can list travel and lodging options for out of town guests, registry information, directions, who's who of your vendors, calendars of events and more are at your fingertips. Layouts are customizable to match the theme and colors of your wedding and you can even have your page play music. Here are some examples of this great interactive tool:
