I’m helping a client with her wedding website this week, and it has reminded me how fun it is! Website creation is one of those time-consuming, painless jobs in the beginning, but you get instant gratification when the job’s complete!
Here’s some tips on creating a stylish and personal wedding website… because you know here at Better Together Events we are totally anti-cookie cutter!
- MUSIC! Yea so the google bots don’t like it, but who cares? You only want your guests to find the website anyway! Pick music that speaks to you and your fiance. But make sure it’s not all sap-central. Include some fun tunes to get guests pumped and excited for your incredible party. Also, think outside the box with music. Sure Etta James has a phenomenal voice, but we all had to hear “At Last” at every single inaugural ball last Jan. You get the point.
PICTURES! We are a visual society, and most people, saps and cynics included, truly enjoy checking out baby pictures, couple pictures, friends, family, etc. Pictures are great for multiple reasons… 1) Your Aunt Barbara gets to see how cute your fiance was as a 5 year old. 2) It gets the families interacting before the forced interactions and offers some potential sources of ice breaking during the wedding weekend. 3) They’re just plain old fun.- IT’S LIKE FACEBOOK, BUT FOR YOUR WEDDING! A wedding website presents a forum for people to send good wishes and notes to the couple in a public setting, and it can get to be a lot of fun.
- INFO ALL IN ONE PLACE. The more information, the better. It’s so nice for guests not to have to bother the mother-of-the-bride for registry or hotel information when they can just hop on your website and view everything for themselves.
Oh and just think, at the end of the process, you can call yourself master, web master that is! 
I leave you with evidence of why photos are fun… even if it’s one of you and your sisters circa 1984 in matching pink overalls no less.
