Your Wedding Website
An extremely valuable tool
for you and your guests
Personal Wedding
Websites are becoming a must have for couples
getting married in todays information age. There is so
much information to circulate regarding the details
of events, timings, maps, suggested accommodations,
taxi information and so much more.
A wedding web page
makes all the important particulars available to
everyone 24 hours a day worldwide. Imagine having
your personal area on the internet that your guests
will be able to view, leave messages, rsvp online
and more.
DJSPACEBAR recommends
couples having a website. Why?, well providing them
with as much
information about your day and plans will ensure that your
guests will enjoy their time and have the necessary
information to plan and prepare a great day for themselves. The more you
make it easier for guests to help them, the more
they will feel more comfortable on your day.
Best of all, its FREE! Take a look
www.weddingpath.com/
(djspacebar
have
partnered with wedding path to help many
couples plan and arrange their day)
After creating your
personal site, you will be able to place your
personal wedding website
link in with your wedding invites so that guests will be
able to view, leave messages for you and get the latest information.
Your website link would look something like this...TomandJane.weddingpath.com
You can set the site up yourself and make changes whenever you want
to but if you would like DJSPACEBAR to do this
then we'll happily create and start it off for you
to update yourself as much as you want.
Guests will appreciate you looking forward to
celebrating your day and giving them something
informative and to help them back will also make
sure that you are appreciating their company so that
they can be better informed and prepared for your
day.
Pages of what?
So let's give you some
ideas on what pages you could store on your personal
wedding site. Here are some basic examples that
guests would appreciate:
- A bit about the bride
and groom, where you met and proposed
- Where the venue is and maps to it
- Local accommodation details and any
discounts/booking codes for guests
- Wedding details and service information
- Reception details with timing and local taxi
booking information
- Your menu and an area to let you know of any
dietary requirements
- Pressie requirements, gift etiquette - (http://weddings.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Wedding_Gift_Etiquette)
- Stag / Hen details or area that you can upload
pictures after the events
- The Wedding party (parents/ushers/bridesmaids)
- a music page for guests where they suggest music
tracks for the party.
- Honeymoon area
- Message board (allow guests before the day to give
you well wishes/messages)
Additional Pages
Stuck for more ideas,
well, we've known couples to add many more pages of
their website to include further information for
guests. Please take some of the ideas below that you
can add to your website.
A Welcome Page
- About Us, About the
Bride, About the Groom, How they met, The proposal

The Service
- Where its going to
be held and what time
Order of the day

veggie equivalents.

wedding party

Accommodation
You will have guests
with all budgets so the best thing to do is to
source out 3 local accommodation Travelodge's, Inns,
Hotels & bed and breakfast locations and include
their telephone number, access details and even
booking/discount codes for guests. Ask for special
rates - you never know - if you don't ask.....
Gift Registry
A personal wedding
website is an ideal way to make guests aware of the
gift registries the couple has selected. It is
standard Wedding Etiquette not to include
information about the Gift Registry in the Wedding
invitation. However it is perfectly acceptable to
broadcast the wedding website address. This allows
the couple to tactfully inform their friends and
family where they are registered and allows them to
easily buy gifts online.
