Wedding Website & Std's

[Johnsonspartyof2]

Hi All!

 

Where did you create your wedding website? I see so many options I don't know which to pick. Since we are changing our date to an early 2018 date we want to atleast get everything set in stone by the end of the year so we can send out STD's but I also want us to have a wedding site for our guests to use as a reference.

 

For older guests who doesn't use much technology did you find yourself sending a more detailed STD? I have a few family members who don't use the internet or anything so I am thinking about making special STD's including all of the resort information and details while others visit our site.

Hi @@Johnsonspartyof2,

I used weddingwire and it was pretty simple to use. I started using the knot but I liked the different templates that wedding wire had instead.

I did send out a more detailed save the date because of all the information that our guests need and so far no one has really asked me many questions, they have called my travel agent so i think it was helpful to have that info on there too.

I'm doing all of my RSVPs online though so I'm not sure how that will work with my older guests, we'll see.

@@tiffanyt Okay that sounds good. Wedding wire was one of the sites I was looking into. I originally liked this one site (i cant remember the name) it gave you tons of options and you had your own app as well, but it was for about 60$ a year and I can't justify that expense when other sites like WeddingWire works perfectly fine. Are you making a Facebook group or Instagram page as well for your guests or are you stopping at the wedding website?

I used weddingwire too (started with theknot as well but switched) and have zero complaints. Easy to use and lots of great features like the online RSVP, seating charts and reception music requests.

 

I didn't do a STD because of how our booking deadlines work here in Canada but just went straight to invites with some detail (date, location, resort, RSVP deadline, etc.) but instructed guests to visit the website for details (resort info/pictures, pricing, travel agent info, etc.).

@@Johnsonspartyof2 We did a wedding website will all the booking details and such. But, as it got closer to the wedding and we wanted to make announcements/updates, we created a Facebook page. It was also an opportunity for our guests to start to get to know each other. It worked out really well! For the few who were not only Facebook, we emailed or texted them the info.

@@LeanneP Sounds Good Thank You! I'll Stick To Wedding Wire.

 

@@cruisebride2016 Thats a good idea, It would be cool for both sides of our family to interact a bit before the wedding. We weren't to big on a Facebook page but that just sold me lol

@@Johnsonspartyof2 I'm stopping at the site. My fiancé isn't on Facebook and a lot of his family isn't on it either so we're

Just doing the site, I think it makes the most sense for us
