One word: “Invitations”.

There exists a love-hate relationship with this word; while invitations are handy for inviting the baby boomers in your family and friends circle, they do not come handy with any tech-savvy person. Therefore you may end up printing invitations that may never be used. Wedding websites are the one-stop-shop that you need to invite all your guests to your ceremonies across various locations while sharing your love story and lovely pre-wedding photos with your loved ones.

Here are six tips for creating the perfect wedding website:

Gather Your Resources

At the point that you are ready to create a website, you should have all the essential information for it. These include information relating to your wedding venue, dates, times, and dress codes for each wedding event; aso-ebi details; travel and lodging information.

Do Not Mention Invite-Only Events

For your private events, ensure that you send invitations directly to those invited to keep it as intimate as possible. You also want to avoid a situation where other people feel bad that you did not extend an invitation to them. Such events may include a pre-wedding brunch for the wedding party, rehearsal dinner or even a bridal shower.

Use A Password

To avoid the whole of Lagos knowing where your ceremonies will take place, you need to provide a password for your friends and family to gain access to your wedding website. You will also benefit from having a password if you’re the private type of couple who keep private social media pages.

Include Detailed Travel Information

Include travel information for guests coming out of town and country; you may want to include information on accommodation that they can comfortably check into for the duration of the wedding week.

Include Registry Information

Pick your gifts wisely! Add links to your preferred gifts that you would use in your new home. Couples have also started using honeymoon funds to accept cash gifts in place of actual home gifts. Alternatively, house funds and charitable funds are appropriately placed on some wedding websites depending on the couple’s interests.

Recommend Local Activities 

Plan your wedding week in such a way that allows for your guests from overseas, the whole wedding party, family and close friends to bond and break the ice before the big day. This is great for destination weddings.

Good luck in creating the perfect wedding website for your wedding ceremonies and reception!
