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:
