Personal Wedding Websites Are Worth It

Why should you choose a wedding website service over a traditional, free blog? There are many benefits to choosing a paid website.

Add videos and photos in cool scrapbooks and slide shows easily
Show maps, RSVP, meal selection and childcare info
Have website guests sign a guest book, and print it later
Impress your friends with your own domain

One of the frustrating parts about wedding planning is knowing how many guests to expect. Brides wait for snail mail to arrive, with RSVP's inside just so they can make their budget. With our digital, fast paced world. Everyone's on a Blackberry, MacBook and online regularly. Many of your wedding guests might find it much easier to RSVP online. Both sides win - you know how many plates you need and they don't have to dig up a stamp - heaven forbid :)

Another benefit to a personal wedding site is the customer service aspect. With a wordpress or blogger based blog, you don't get free, easy help. For people who aren't web designers, or tech savvy, this can be instrumental in a cool wedding website.

Beyond the practical reasons, there's so many fun ways to make a personalized website your own. You can include the story of how you met. When your guests arrive they will feel more invested in your union, having read your story to the altar. Many sites let you put biographies of your wedding party and their photos. You can even put puzzles and games that relate to you and your fiance.

The colors and templates of these websites are stunning. Some even offer designs that have matching wedding invitation counterparts. If you want to give the impression of a beautiful, luxury wedding, you could really impress with matching site design and invitations.

Here's some of the other cool reasons to get a wedding website creator:

Custom color palettes
Guest Bios
Blog
Directions
Seating Chart
News and Updates
Calendar of Events
Photo and Video

I think this piece is worth the investment. You'll be addicted to the customizing and the fun way you can share your love story.
