Communication has changed in many ways thanks to the revolution of social media and the internet. If people want to contact you, they send you messages via Facebook or Twitter, and while there is nothing wrong with that, there is something that seems a bit lacking. A tweet can only contain so many letters on a given post, and Facebook is anything but formal. The best solution to this? Create a special wedding website or blog! You can easily customize it to your personal taste or wedding theme, you can share everything without limits, and you can even post up your wedding registry. Ready to get started? Here’s how!
1- Your first goal here is to find a free website/blog platform. You can go with paid options but right now you would benefit better on saving your money for things that really matter like your reception or honeymoon. The Knot offers several options including both free and paid options. You could also consider WordPress or Blogger for more simplistic approaches.
2- Next, you need to figure out what your blog is about. Obviously it’s about your upcoming nuptials but you need to find a focus. Is it a love story? A blog of your wedding planning adventures? Or is it mostly a website with photos? It’s important to figure out what your goals are for the website to you can actually put it together within a reasonable time.
3- Share this blog/website with your fiance. Invite him to join in and contribute.
4- While it’s okay to post a bridal registry or to ask for donations to the cause of your choice, it is tacky to downright ask for money as a gift on your website.
5- If you want, you can keep your website up and running long after the big day. Feel free to post a gallery of wedding pictures or you can even turn the website into a blog about your adventures as newlyweds!
