We thought that a lot of people would visit our wedding website, and therefore put some time and effort into building it. we also put some $ in it as well. (about 125 bucks for our own domaine name for 2 years and a year and a half for wedding window to host it)

 

but so far we've had like 10 people visit it! i seriously thought that right after people got our STDs that our website activity would boom... not so much.

 

is this typical? i'm thinking maybe we should have saved some moola and wend with a free one

Some people looked at ours, but it's kinda relative. We didn't have too many invites anyway...It was frequented more by the people that WEREN'T coming! And, it's been visited quite regularly since the wedding by people looking for pictures, etc. Was it a waste of $? Maybe, but it was still fun so I didn't get too bent out of shape.

Ours is the same way. We have had a couple of people RSVP on it (thought this would be easier for people to do rather than mail it back). Guess I am going to have to do the mail thing...I still think its nice to have especially once the wedding gets closer for people to have the information available.

I didn't bother to do a wedding website. To me, it was wasted money. However, I already have hosting space, so I could have just registered a domain name and forwarded to one of my exisiting hosting sites.

 

However, I think a smart idea would be to pick a non wedding name. Like jackandjill.com as opposed to jackandjillswedding.com. Or thesmiths.com. That way you can still the domain after the wedding for a post-wedding site. You could continue it as a "family website." Blogs, pictures of you, your pets. If you have kids you can put a section which focuses on that aspect of your life, etc. Also, if you guys have family parties (ie at christmas, thanksgiving, etc.) you can include all that info on your site as well.

I didn't do a website either. I was just going to do one of the free ones, but I was really lazy and just didn't feel like doing it. If we had more people going then maybe I would have really put the time in to finish it so that people could get answers to their questions there, but I just really had no desire to do it.

 

I bet you'll get more visitors as your wedding gets closer.

we did one but it cost us very little as DH is a web developer etc...

 

we had ALOT of people visit it but our crowd is younger, tech sauvy...even DH's grandmother checks her email everyday.

 

we had places to SVP, comments, pics, etc...and it is now, now just a wedding site, but baby site, family site...

 

i agree that once you get closer to the date, people will start checking it out.

 

whenever we updated the site we sent a group email saying that we updated the site etc.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
