Top ten benefits of a wedding website
Wedding websites are all the craze right now, and for good reasons. There are so many benefits to having a wedding website. You might be thinking, why is this stationery designer writing a blog on wedding websites? Why would she want people to move away from print and onto digital? I totally get it. I love print and I’m not saying move away from it at all, I say why not have both!A wedding website can be used to compliment your invitations and also save you money. I talk about this in more detail on my blog The Modern Invitation.Let’s get into the benefits. 
10 - Information in the one location
It’s a one stop shop for all your guests. You get everything from date and time to dress code and map directions. 
9 - There’s no limit on how much info you provide
Traditionally you'd be restricted to the paper size of you invitation and detail card. With a website you can create pages dedicated to each part of your wedding plus additional special touches. Some examples of this include pages like:Our love storylocation and time (including a map if needed)best suggested accommodation
8 - Keeps you organised
We are know planning a wedding can be hard enough, so this is just one tool that can help you stay organised. You can keep track of all RSVP’s and dietary requirements in the one location.
7 - Instant RSVP’s
I know I touched on this but lets just dive in for a moment. If you have ever planned any event before, you know how hard it is to get all your guests to send their responses back to you. You end up having to chasing people up and it can be so frustrating at times. In the past you would have had to send RSVP cards and return envelopes with your invitations and then wait to see who sends them back. A wedding website saves you the cost of those RSVP cards and envelopes plus you get instant responses. This is one of the best things about a wedding website (in my personal opinion).It’s made easy not only for you but for your guests as well. With one click of a button you know who can and who can not attend your big day. In addition to this, your guest can also provide you with their dietary requirements at the same time.
6 - It’s easy
It’ so simple and easy to set up a wedding website, literally anyone can do it. 5 - Set the tone of the day
Wedding websites can be a nice way of introducing the theme/style of your wedding and also get your guests really excited for the big day! There are a bunch of templates you can chose from or you can completely customise it yourself. It's super easy and fun too. Here are a list of wedding websites that offer great templates: 
4 - Make last minute changes
This one is pretty handy, especially after the year we have just had. If for any reason you have to postpone your wedding or update some timings you can.3 - Special touches
Because of there are no restrictions on how little or how much info you add to your site, this gives you the opportunity to add those special little touches. Things like:Bridal party discriptionsyour love storyfood and drinks menudirections to reception/ceremonyany added images or videos
Honestly there is so much you can do and it’s all personal preference. I personally LOVE the idea of having bridal party descriptions. It makes your bridesmaids/groomsmen feel special, allows you to reflect your friendship and also gives insight to your guests who may not know the connection between you and that person.
2 - Always accessible
In a digital age when we always have a phone in hand, accessibility is everything! Having all the details in one click of a button makes communication between you and your guests so simple and easy.
1 - Budget friendly (it’s free!)
The best thing is, you’re not going to break the bank on this one. You can get stunning wedding websites for free! In this day in age, weddings are expensive enough and its hard to create the day of your dreams when everything is so damn expensive. I like to suggest this option to my clients who want stunning letterpress or foil pressed finishes but don't want to blow the budget. Using a wedding website to compliment your invitations is the best way to save on costs and still get the stunning finishes that make your guest go ‘wow’. Ready to start your stationery journey?
