{Advantages of Having Your Own Wedding Website}
Having your own wedding website is a great way to keep your friends and family updated about your wedding activities. Being connected during the process of your big event is an easy way for everyone to feel easily linked together. For those relatives who don’t live close to the bride and groom, a wedding website is a simple way for them to see engagement and wedding photos, announcements, registry lists and even honeymoon pictures. A wedding website is also a stress-free way for guests to RSVP online, making the process of tracking guest attendance virtually effortless and easily organized. Sending invitations via a wedding website is cost efficient and eco friendly! Online invitations can be just as visually captivating as paper invitations, so don’t think you will be stuck with a plain design. Although online invitations have many advantages, maybe not everyone on your guest list is internet-savvy. In this case, send online invitations to everyone except those who don’t use the computer often, and opt for sending a select few paper invitations for simplicity and consideration for your guests’ preferences.
In addition to being eco-friendly, having a wedding website is also budget-friendly!

Inviting children to your wedding is totally up to you. If you do want to allow guests to bring their children, make sure that they are included in the invitation by name, or denote the main guest(s) as well as “family.” Not allowing children can be a sticky subject, but it doesn’t have to be. Technically, if they aren’t listed on the invitation, they aren’t invited. But not everyone will follow that rule. So be sure to let it be known that children aren’t invited by spreading the information through word of mouth. You can also take the more direct route, and call those who might misunderstand, and let them know that while you’d love to have children at your wedding, you just aren’t able to accommodate them. www.eyeforweddingdesign.net |

No matter how much you think guests will instinctively know, ALWAYS state the desired attire on your invitation. By doing so, you alleviate some stress for your guests plus you help guarantee a cohesive look for your wedding. When you state the attire, make sure that you are very clear. After all, what do Festive Attire and Downtown Chic really mean?
Use the terms that most guests will readily know, and save yourself the calls and headaches that will inevitably follow if you don’t: - Black or White Tie
- Black Tie Optional or Formal
- Semi Formal or Dressy Casual
- Beach Wedding Attire or Beach Formal
- Casual Dress

When ordering your invitations and thank-you cards, don’t forget to order extra! You’ll always need more than you think. Not only do you need enough to cover your guests, but you’ll also need extras to send to those you want to invite, but who can’t attend, or a last-minute guest. Plus, you always receive gifts from those not invited, but who want to share in your happiness. Ordering more after your initial order will always end up costing more, because most printers require a minimum number to place the order. So always order extra and be prepared! It’s always better to have a few extra than to come up short. |

Do you always have to handwrite the addresses for every wedding invitation or thank-you note? Traditionalists will say yes because it personalizes the wedding invitation. But what if you a) don’t have the time b) have lousy handwriting or c) just don’t want to?
Don’t worry about it, say the experts. Turns out, either way is perfectly acceptable. If you have the time to do it yourself or the money to have someone write or do calligraphy, that’s great. But if you don’t, don’t add it to your stress. Most people don’t even look at the envelope and are much more interested in the actual invitation.
But if you are doing it yourself, don’t plan on doing it all at once. Instead set aside time to address a few at a time in order to protect the integrity of your penmanship and your mindset! Of course, you can always enlist someone in your family with good penmanship or hire someone who can help. |
