Unless you are an extremely private person, in the CIA or the witness protection program, a wedding Web site, especially in the event of a
destination wedding, is almost always a good idea. In a time when people often don’t send out RSVPs until last minute, when they remembered where they stashed the invitation you worked so hard to pick out, few are going to remember to bring the invitation with them in their carry-on. That said, unless you want everybody calling your hotel room in the days before the wedding and in some cases, hours before the big event (“where is the church? when are we all having brunch? where are we taking
photos?”) you might want to consider creating a Web site as a one-stop shop for travel and event information. It’s also a very cute way to tell your story with your style, as most sites offer personalized templates and photo album options. And no, you do not need to be a Web designer. Sites like
www.mywedding.com and
www.weddingchannel.com–our favorites–provide easy step-by-step directions for creating a site that suits your needs. As another plus, a Web site is an easy, non-tacky way of telling guests where you are registered, especially if you plan on registering for gifts at more than one store. Trust us, putting a Web address on your official wedding invitation is better than putting “Jane and John are registered at Macy’s, Bed Bath &Beyond, Crate and Barrel, Williams Sonoma…” You get the point. Privacy issues? Most Web site host sites have privacy settings, which you may want to consider for safety. What are you waiting for? Get on over there and get started…
