What your wedding website needs, NOW!
It's crucial to consider what will be on your wedding website if you're still in the planning stages of your wedding. Your website will work as the interactive center for all the crucial information, saving your guests the trouble of having to call you in the event that they misplace their wedding invitation, forget the specifics of the wedding hotel block, forget where you registered, or need additional information on your wedding dress code. Despite the fact that several wedding website builders offer various themes and inclusions, there are a few things that the majority of couples' websites include. Here are a few of our preferred.
Up-To-Date Details
When researching wedding website ideas, keep in mind that this should be a constantly evolving project. As you learn more information about your big day, be sure to update your website accordingly. The least helpful wedding websites are the ones that are lacking crucial details, so as your wedding approaches, make sure your website is kept up to date.
Your Wedding Registry
"Where are you registered?" is one of the first things your guests (and your mother, your maid of honor...) will inquire about. Include all of the information on your wedding website to make it simple for your guests to access, as including your register information on printed invitations is a bit of a no-no.
How to Get There – in Detail
When you're hosting a destination wedding or many out-of-town guests, it's not simply about giving driving directions to your site. Make sure they are aware of the best means of getting to your wedding city and make a note of any nearby airports, railway stations, or bus stops. Additionally, you can include on-site details to your website such as parking areas, signage, and location of each event on the property.
Provide links to nearby rental vehicle agencies if many of your guests will be hiring automobiles to go around during your wedding weekend. Budget specifically provides a special discount code for wedding guests that can save them up to 25%, which is absolutely worth mentioning!
And don’t forget about day-of transportation! If you’re providing shuttle service from guest hotels to your venue (a generous gesture, to be sure), be sure to share that information on your website – and include it in any welcome bags you provide your out-of-towners, so everyone is where they need to be at the right time.
Lodging Blocks
Don't forget about transportation on the actual day! If you're offering a shuttle service from the hotels of your guests to your venue (a kind gesture, to be sure), make sure to post that information on your website and include it in any welcome packets you give your out-of-town guests so that everyone is where they need to be at the appropriate time.
Personal Touches
Make sure your guests know that this is your wedding website! Customize your site by adding your love story and proposal story, include personal details where you can, and add a photo gallery. You can even make one of your engagement photos the backdrop for your website.
Online RSVP
The RSVP section of your wedding website is another useful feature. The greatest wedding website themes frequently include an online RSVP page where visitors can fill out their details and send you a straight RSVP. RSVPs won't be lost in the mail anymore, conserving paper, right? It's on!
Things to Do
Again, this wedding website concept is crucial for couples who are inviting guests from beyond the area. Give your closest friends and family some suggestions for activities to do in your wedding city as well as any additional contacts they might need. They'll probably have some leisure between their arrival and your celebration. Restaurants, museums, historical attractions, salons, and cab services are a few examples.
Your #Hashtag
Creating a wedding hashtag early in your engagement has a lot of advantages. Your family and friends can use it to tag pictures and social media postings about all the activities leading up to your wedding, as well as the big day itself. But a hashtag for your wedding is only beneficial if your guests are aware of it.
Shout-Outs to Your Besties
Depending on your wedding website design and template, adding a countdown to your wedding date can be a fun touch. Your guests will love checking back throughout your engagement to see how many days are left before the big day—and so will you!
Wedding-Day Countdown
A countdown to your wedding day can be a fun addition to your wedding website, depending on its design and type. Throughout your engagement, both you and your guests will enjoy checking in to see how many days are left till the big day.
Share the Love
After visiting your wedding website, your guests will likely be so pleased that they'll want to express their best wishes straight immediately! They can effortlessly express their love in the guest book on your website.
The Nesselrod Advantage
Despite the fact that there are plenty of options for a free wedding website, Nesselrod’s website can keep track of RSVPs and even automatically connect them to any seating chart you might have for your ceremony and/or reception floorplan.
