Do you have a wedding website? If so, go you! If not, you should seriously consider one! Other than it being a new and fun way for you to showcase your wedding, it can save you some money!
Instead of bulking up your invites with accommodation information, you can simply direct guests to your wedding website and link to the reservation site. You can even have people RSVP for multiple events. Wondering how many people will be able to make it to your Rehearsal Dinner? What about the Morning-After Brunch? Invited guests can RSVP from your website. You can also limit who can RSVP for different events. How handy is that?
If you provide the address of each of your venues, guests can even pre-program their GPS for directions. That way they don't have to fumble around looking for the invite insert.
On the fun and cutesy side, you can share all sorts of information about you and the love of your life! How did you meet? What about the proposal? You can share wedding party information and maybe a few mug shots. That way your wedding party feels like an important part of your wedding… not just someone in matching attire!
The website is also a great place to update any changes. Did you register somewhere new? Did you block another hotel for your guests? If so, you can make all changes here and your guests can immediately access it!
Struggling with your wedding website? Check out the newest completed website, made by one of our very-own brides here! Heather did a great job listing pertinent information about the wedding but also shared lots of personal information about the two of them. Now, distant relatives and friends from the past can do a quick update on what they've been up to and learn more about her wedding!
For more information about wedding websites, ask your planner or do a simple Google search. Don't have time to keep one up? Ask your planner how Your Wedding, Your Way can manage your wedding website for you!
With Love,
~Your Wedding, Planner
Remember when we all dreamed about double weddings? I know Allison (my bff in 2nd grade) and I had plans to extend our playground wedding dreams to real life as soon as we both found our dream men.
Well, just as our friendship has grown and changed since 2nd grade so has the vision of what I wanted my wedding day to be. And you can bet your paycheck that I did NOT have a double wedding. It was MY day! How many days can we say that without looking totally crazy? Not many! It's the one day I can do what I want with colors, tables, food, music, attire, cake, flowers and decor. It's all up to me!
Wait, what? All of that is up to me?! But, I work full time! I have responsibilities, plus I have no idea where to start! Who can help?!
If that sounds like you, then it's time to get a wedding planner! As a planner myself, I know that the people in my profession are capable of helping ease the stress that accompanies your wedding planning process.
Did you catch that? Your Wedding. That's right, this day is your day! If you have visions of what you want on your day, make sure the planner you hire will listen! So often, planners have a vision of how your wedding needs to look. Some even know what vendors you will use before you ever sign on the dotted light. Beware of these planners!
It's good for your planner to have an arsenal of vendors and information about them. It's good for your planner to share creative ideas about the decor and layout of your wedding. But it is BAD for your planner to take complete creative control over your wedding: unless that's what you want, of course.
Most of us however, want to know that our ridiculous love of jelly beans can be incorporated into our wedding tastefully, instead of being completely written off by our planner. I've seen it on the wedding shows. I've seen glamorous high-quality planners step in and completely take over someone's wedding. But in the process they erase all creative input from the bride & groom. Don't let this happen to you! It's your wedding afterall. Make sure you get it your way!
That is why the wedding specialists at Your Wedding, Your Way in Austin, TX are dedicated to helping you create the wedding that you want. We promise we will never take over your wedding vision. We will only guide, organize and advise as we go through the planning process. In the end, the decisions are always your choice and you will never have to worry that your creative bug will be smashed by hoity-toity know-it-all planners.
Remember at Your Wedding, Your Way we believe: It's your wedding. Have it your way!
