Why A Website

There is no better way to organize and share your wedding with those closest to you than with your own website. With top-notch security, you can create your own private social network around the planning and celebration of your wedding. Read the top 8 reasons why your wedding website will contribute to the overall success of your event.

8 Reasons For A Wedding Website

1. Easily Inform & Update Guests On Wedding Details

Instead of phoning your list of guests, simply send an email pointing them to the website to read up on all the event information. All the details and maps are accessible at all times (and from anywhere). Family and friends will have one place to find all the answers to their questions regarding where and when the wedding takes place, and how to get there.

2. Secure website

You can password protect your wedding website and share access with only your invited guests. Alternatively, you can choose to password protect certain pages. MyEvent hosts thousands of websites all over the world. Your website is hosted in a secure and reliable environment. You benefit from automated daily backups and multiple redundancies. MyEvent is PCi certified, a member of the BBB and TRUSTe certified.

3. Choose Your Own Colors For Your Wedding Website

Customize the fonts and colors of your wedding design. You can create a very personalized wedding website design to match your chosen wedding colors and theme. If you decide to change your wedding colors, you can update your design and template as many times as you like.

4. Unlimited Number of Photos

There is no better way to get your family and friends excited about the wedding than looking at photos of everyone. Guests can upload their own photos to the website to share with other guests. You can add an unlimited number of photos within your website and you can also add photos to albums. You can post 30 photos in 5 albums (150 photos). Premium subscribers can upload 1000 photos in their albums.

5. It's Easy for Guests to RSVP

Your wedding guests can RSVP to the wedding directly on the website. It's easier for guests to respond by email rather than by post, so this is convenient and it saves you money (no stamped reply cards). Each time a guest RSVP'S, your Who's Coming page automatically updates.

6. Save Time With Emails, FAQ page

Save time communicating with guests by using your broadcast email tool to update all guests on news about the wedding. Use your FAQ page to post your most frequently asked questions and answer them. Display a map and directions on your site to cut down on phone calls asking for directions.

7. Foster a Private Social Network

Your website will become a place for friends and family to gather and will help foster a community atmosphere (social network) before and after the wedding. Guests can also interact with each other on the message boards and on the blog. Finally, guests will be able to view the Who's Coming page to find out who will be attending the event.

8. Wedding Planning Tools

Your website contains a Planning Tools section to help you plan, organize and keep track of all your wedding details. You can use it to manage your wedding guest list, and to track wedding invitations you've sent (by snail mail and/or online). You can track who has RSVP'd and who hasn't, and you can send personalized Thank You notes using your broadcast email tool. You can also use the budget tool to keep track of your expenses and to make sure you stay on budget.

What You Can Do With Your Wedding Site:

Introduce the Bride, Groom and the Wedding Party

Friends and family will love The Story page which includes the bride and groom biographies, and the Wedding Party page where you can upload pictures and bios of each member of your wedding party. All of these pages are included in your website.
