A MODERN FAIRY TALE
Keeping everyone in the loop of your upcoming nuptials with the help of modern technology. All you need to do is create your own personal wedding website, what we call, a ‘wedsite’!

 With the blast of blogs and all things hi-tech, you now have the option of sharing all the news, activities and events of your wedding at the stroke of a keyboard. Here are seven reasons why it’s great to have your very own W.E.D.S.I.T.E:
Reason 1:
‘W’ is for Worldwide
With your wedding website, you can connect with friends and family worldwide, and make them feel like a part of your wedding plans. You can share information and pictures of the wedding plans. You may also introduce your fiancé and his or her family on your website. Should you both have really big and extended families, this will give you a headstart just remembering everyone’s names .
Reason 2:
‘E’ is for Easy
Your website can help you plan your wedding, keep track of details, and get the news of all the events you plan like stag party, bridal shower, rehearsals, etc. in a calendar listing. You can invite the wedding party to a planning session in your private chatroom or bulletin board to save on long distance phone bills. Encourage guests to RSVP online, or even submit music requests for your reception through your site. Any change in plans can be easily updated on your website and everyone is kept informed.
Reason 3:
‘D’ is for Debut
Get the groom involved with the details of your wedding such as picking out bridesmaid dresses, flowers and reception food. This is how you can create his debut into your feminine life. You can work on your ‘wedsite’ together. Let him help by writing about his life, his family and his friends in the wedding party. This will set you off to a good start in the world of marriage, where you do things together and help each other out as well.
Reason 4:
‘S’ is for Save
You can share a wealth of information with your guests, especially those from overseas, by including online travel information with links to your wedding location, tourist information, driving directions, maps, etc. The wedding gift wishlist that you’ve put up on your site can be connected to online shopping links where relevant, and this would save your guests a lot of time. Include a guest book and contact information to allow guests to e-mail you with questions or comments.
Reason 5:
‘I’ is for Ideal
A ‘wedsite’ is also a great online wedding scrap book that you can share with friends and family. It’s an ideal way of keeping in touch.
Reason 6:
‘T’ is for Tell
You can change your wedding site into a family website after your wedding, allowing you to connect and tell your family and friends about what’s happening in your life, as your own family grows.
Reason 7:
‘E’ is for Endless
The ‘wedsite’, provides an endless platform to keep everyone and anyone in the loop; even those who can’t make it can get an update just by visiting your site. The possibilities are endless and you’re getting everyone who matters in your life to celebrate your big day!
