Quick Guide: building your own wedding website
Creating your personalised wedding website is becoming popular over the years. This not only keeps your guests on the loop with updated information (such as travel and accommodation), but also you would be able to share your love story, engagement photos.
As a wedding planner here in Sydney, I know having a wedding website benefits the most with large weddings, and overseas guests.
So here is how to create your wedding website:
Choose a website builder
Select and personalise a template within the website builder
Add the important wedding details
Optional - Decide on a unique domain name (that guests will remember)
Make your website exclusive to your guests (public, or private and send the link to your guests)
You don’t have to wait until everything is perfect, to send your wedding website to your guests! Your website can have the important wedding details first, and then you can provide more information over time, including your engagement photos.
Here are my “must-have”s to include in your wedding website before sending it to your guests:
Wedding date
Starting times of ceremony, reception and any other important cultural festivities, including tea ceremony.
Travel and accommodation information
Your love story
Here are my recommended website builders:
Joy
As every couple is different, here are some “deal breakers” to help you decide which website builder would be best for you:
To have a paid or free wedding website builder. (Some paid website builders allow users to trial their paid version for a limited time)
Requiring guests to RSVP via your website
Guests to submit their dietary requirements via your website
Including a gift registry
Live-streaming your wedding on the day
Having a personalised wedding website creates that special touch to your guests, and excitement as we all count down towards your wedding day. For engaged couples who do not have time to research, put this all together and send it out to their guests, they can only wish to have this as part of their wedding planning process.
Instead, this can all be created by me to give your guests that WOW factor so that your guests will continue to be kept in the loop, can make your life so much easier and can save a lot of time and headache. Click here if you wish to discuss this further with me.
