i recently received an invitation in the mail from one of my clients Ashley and Nils they are getting married in Cancun, Mexico in april and i'm really looking forward to shooting their wedding. inside there invitation was an info. page and on that info page was a website. being webby geek that i am, i had to check it out. the website was with a company called eWedding and they provide free websites to couples for their wedding...SCHWEET! anyhow, since i have been booking quite a few new weddings, i thought i would make everyone aware of this. it's a great way to tell your story and get your information out to all your family and friends...did i mention it's FREE! oh, and don't forget to put in your photographer under the vendors section. : )
Here's a quick articled from eWedding.com about their websites.
Keeping your friends, family and wedding party in the loop of your
upcoming wedding can be very time consuming and burdensome. But not
anymore. Having your own Personal Wedding Website will take care of all
that, plus much more.
Having a professional wedding site is a great way to share all the
news and events on your upcoming wedding. You can post the date,
location, time and directions to your Stag, Shower, Rehearsal and other
events. You can post your Registry and add items to a personal Wish
List, list local attractions for friends and family that are visiting
and collect best wishes with your Guest Book.
Getting the word out about your site is as easy as including your
web address on your invitations. We have seen many invitations with
'For more information, and directions, please visit
www.your-wedding.com.' This way, everyone invited to your wedding,
including those who can't make it, can go to your wedding website to
get up to date information. You can edit any of the information on your
site, even the style, to keep it updated and reflect any changes you
have made. Another great benefit of a web address is the ability to put
it on wedding favors, wedding bulletins or for posting at the
reception. This way people will come back to see your wonderful wedding
day photos.
Keeping track of those coming to your wedding has never been easier
either. Offering online RSVP is one of the most popular features of a
wedding website. It saves you time and money, no extra envelopes or
stamps required, and long waits for getting back the RSVP's in the
mail. Just put a simple link to your site in the invitation and your
friends can RSVP at your website and you will be sent a message right
away. Your site will also keep the RSVP's in memory so you can manage
your list and know who you didn't hear back from yet.
The above features, along with many more, will really make planning
a wedding, and sharing it with friends and family around the world, a
pleasurable experience. A Personal Wedding Website, let everyone share
the joy of your big day.
Excellent find....I cna see how this would be a real nice tool for the couple. I may pass this on to my clients.
