It’s the ultimate stress reducer – If responding to text and phone calls about what time the ceremony starts or what is the closest hotel to the wedding venue isn’t part of your wedding vision, then a wedding website is a must! Using your website to communicate the details guarantees that your guests can always access the information they need, even if they accidentally misplace your invitation.

It sets expectations – While is likely all your guests are familiar with the fundamentals of the wedding etiquette, like showing up on time to the ceremony, sometime it’s nice to give them a heads up on what the wedding day or a 3 day celebration will be.

It starts the celebration off right – Just like your wedding invitations, your website can set the tone for your wedding day. Whether or not your template is an exact match for your celebration doesn’t necessarily matter, but the vibe of your site does. An elegant formal website fits perfectly with a black tie event, while rustic details and a note about semi-formal summer attire gives guests a glimpse into your country style reception.

It informs – Your wedding website is the perfect place for the essential and helpful information. Especially if you are planning a destination wedding you will need to provide your guests with travel related info to make them at ease. Other info like that reception being on a grass area, not stiletto friendly, or dinner menu with allergy-friendly options will enhance your guests experience.

Makes RSVP easy – using digital RSVP will make your guests lists updated in real time. No need to go crazy in keeping track of your guests plan and ask them to take a trip to the post office. They will appreciate that!
