Wedding Planning Blog

You can regularly keep a blog on your wedding site to keep guests posted on your progress in preparing for the wedding. It’s surprising how many people find wedding planning interesting. Plus you may even get some helpful advice. Leave room for comments to encourage communication.

Surveys and Quizzes

Fun surveys and light-hearted quizzes can help keep the tone of your wedding website friendly. Use your imagination to create little quizzes and polls that suit your website as well as your friends and family.

Wedding Party Bios

Ask the people in your wedding party to write a short bio for your wedding website. This is a great way to introduce them to far away family and friends that may not know them. It also involves your wedding party in your website.

Photo Album

You don’t have to have a website photo album that’s only for wedding pictures. Guests can upload their photos and you can include your engagement party, shower, wedding and honeymoon photos. A wide array of pictures helps facilitate discussions on your message board too.

Message Board

Having a message board on your wedding website is a great way for your family and friends all over the world to connect, discuss and anticipate your wedding. For those not able to make the wedding, at least they can communicate with you and family and friends as well as view photos and other information. Start off your message board with a message from the wedding couple!

Wedding Countdown Clock

A countdown clock added to your homepage or blog is the perfect addition to your wedding website. You can find a ticker décor to blend with the style and tone of your website whether it’s whimsical or elegant, formal or informal. A wedding countdown clock ticks down the hours, minutes and seconds to the big event and helps keep everyone aware of how much time is left to prepare and look forward to the wedding.

Interactive Music Section

Including an interactive music section on your wedding website can let guests help you decide which music to have at your wedding. This can be a fun feature that many family members and friends will want to participate in. You can share what your special wedding couple dance song will be or ask for votes from your guests.

Online Gift Registry

This is great feature for wedding guests because it eliminates the often frustrating guesswork of what gift to buy. Gift registries are usually very much appreciated by family and friends. Plus you can enjoy selecting wish list items from your favorite store to add to your online gift registry. Just remember to choose smaller lower priced accent pieces as well as larger gift items so that guests of all budgets and incomes can choose from your gift options.

Family Trees

Family trees for the bride and groom can be an interesting graphic on a wedding website. Choose a style that compliments the rest of your site. There are both elegant and whimsical family tree templates available. You may have to do some research to fill in the trees accurately, but knowing the ancestry of your own family and that of your soon to be spouse is probably something you’re interested in knowing anyway – especially if you plan on starting your own family soon.
