And while email can be a quick and easy tool to distribute pertinent information, don’t abuse it. No one wants daily news flashes or to learn all of the personal details of you and your significant other. Keep them simple, focused and timely. And don’t forget those who opted out or don’t have email. If you send something out via email to your guest list, then make sure that you also send out a paper copy to those that aren’t on your distribution list.

Before you rely on email to send out information, you first need to ask guests whether or not they would like to receive your emails. Yes, it’s an extra step, but it’s the polite thing to do. Not everyone checks email religiously, and depending on their email address, they might neither want nor be able to receive personal emails with it.  To create your list, simply phone or write guests whose email address you don’t have to let them know that you’d like to communicate wedding details via email. Ask them if they would like to receive emails, and if so, what address you should use. Do the same with those individuals with whom you already regularly communicate via email, so they can give you their email preferences as well. No one wants a bridal spammer! |

It’s perfectly acceptable to use email and the Internet to keep in touch with guests and let them know what’s going on. Why not? After all, it’s quick, it’s efficient, and most of all, it’s inexpensive. Which isn’t a word you hear too often when you’re planning a wedding! As a quick rule of thumb, just remember what Peggy Post says, the more formal the communication, the more appropriate it is to use postal mail rather than email. Online isn’t appropriate for formal invitations or thank-you notes. |

Creating a wedding website? Then follow these simple tips to make sure your site is as perfect as your wedding day.  - Make sure it looks like you! This is your wedding and all about you and your fiancé(e). Your wedding site should reflect your personal style as a couple so everyone, even those who can’t attend, can really get to know both of you.
- Keep it tactful. Don’t list the website on your actual invitations. Instead, include it on another item enclosed in the packet such as the response card. And don’t overemphasize your gift registry. That’s something that still should be spread by word of mouth.
- Keep it simple. Don’t make your site so full of details and pages that no one can find the essentials that they are looking for. Keep it to a few well-designed pages.
- Keep it focused. Your wedding site is for details about your wedding. It’s not the place to include a lot of personal information. Remember that your friends and relatives are going to be looking at this site for guidance, and you want everyone who visits your site to feel comfortable and welcome. Some of your older relatives, or even your parents, may not want to know all of the details of your first kiss.
