Weddings are a fun time to celebrate with loved ones. From the moment you announce your engagement your family and loved ones want to know all the details of your big day. It often may feel overwhelming to get all the details out to your guests. That is why many brides and grooms create wedding websites as a means of sharing information with their guests. So we thought it would be helpful to break down wedding websites and show you all you need to know to get your own 🙂
Where to Start
Several wedding sites like The Knot, Zola, or Minted have easy to use templates already set up that allow you to create a semi custom site to share with your guests. However, if your really tech savvy sites like Wixx or SquareSpace let you make a more custom version to share every detail big and small.
What to Include
Once you get your site going you may be wondering what information you should include. So here a quick break down of what you should be sharing with your guests
-

-
- Location and Time Information
- Let guests know where the ceremony and reception will be and what time they start. You may also want to including direction information or information about transportation if you are providing it for your guests
- Registry
- Your guests love you and want to share that love, so make it easy for them to find your registry on your website.
- Pictures
- You spent time taking stunning engagement pictures now is the time to show them off. Upload all your favorites for guests to see
- Bridal Party
- While this isn’t required wouldn’t it be nice to show off your bridal party with your guests. You could include pictures of them and background information about how you met and why they are so important to you on your special day.
- Things to Do
- Like bridal party information this is optional but if a lot of your guests are out of town it might be nice to share the top restaurants, museums, and things to do in your city with your guests who may have time to kill while they wait to party with you 🙂
