Personal Wedding Pages

This is the beginning of a series of articles on wedding related information on the internet. We begin with personal wedding pages. There are many free "build your own website" sites out there. The price is right and there are many templates to choose so that is it relatively easy to jump start the process. So if you feel up to the challenge or if your think it already got what it takes lets begin what can be a very fun and very useful exercise (stress reliever) for both of you to get involved.

Just so you know what we are talking about click here to check out an award winning personal web site.

Now that you get the idea. Let's talk about how to get started. Firstly, how important is this to you? This can be a really big deal and become something you will save and cherish your whole life or just for giggles and entertainment.

Your wedding web site is a fabulous way to tell all your friends and family the details of your wedding. From the way you got engaged, to receiving feedback and RSVPs in your own personal guestbook... your free personal wedding web site can keep out of town guests up to date and be a great tool to help you plan your wedding and save money too.

If your going for it just for fun, then I recommend that you look into freebie sites that will make it easy. Here are a few for your browsing:

One of the first things you will have to decide is whether you want to spend $100+ on your web site by choosing your own dot.com name like www.william-and-mary.com or www.thewilliams.com. If you do then you will have costs of around $50 a year to $25/month to maintain and "host" the site on the internet for all to see and have access.

This can be one of the best investments and only a small part of any budget and highly recommended. You'll have lots of fun and begin truly building your lives together.


Your Wedding Website can be an important organizational tool in your wedding planning process.

You can publish your thoughts on the wedding, some of the challenges you may run into, and information about caterers, bridal shops, reception halls, and entertainment, while your family and friends send back suggestions and advice.

Once you send out the invitations, people can RSVP using your Wedding Website if they wish, saving themselves a stamp and a trip to the mailbox, and saving you time and energy when you need it most.

Once you finalize your wedding plans, your Wedding Website can contain all the following information:

 

Welcome page - general information and your personal greeting

Biographies of the Bride and Groom

 

How you met
