How to Build a Great Website for Your Destination Wedding
Destination Wedding Information
Post details about the wedding so that guests know what to expect. A blog that counts down the days to the trip and the wedding is a great idea and you can discuss your preparations. Adding a wedding countdown clock keeps everyone aware of the time left to prepare for the wedding adventure in a fun way. You can find a countdown clock to match the style of your wedding website as they are available in a wide range of designs.
Consider interactive features that let you keep track of RSVPs, meals and more. An information center on your destination wedding website can keep guests quickly up to date on any changes or additions to the travel itinerary.
Destination Information
Post information about customs and more on your destination wedding website. You could include news items that relate to where you’re going or even just ‘did you know’ type bits of information such as the most popular dance, drink, sport, language there etc. Maps such as from the airport to the hotel and the hotel to the ceremony site are handy to include on your wedding website and help stop mix ups.
Including information about what to pack and what the weather conditions are likely to be is a really good idea. You may even want to include an interactive weather feature on your website that will track the weather forecasts up to and including your wedding day. A message board feature lets everyone get in on the planning and anticipation for the wedding trip.
Destination Events
Clearly post information about dates and times of special dinners and events that relate to your wedding. You want to give guests a chance to do some sightseeing on their own if they like, so post a calendar on the home page of your wedding website that includes dates such as the welcome and rehearsal dinners.
Destination Photos
Your wedding website is the ideal place to display photos from the trip – before and after the wedding day – and let guests post theirs. You may want to add photos of or links to hotels, beaches and attractions ahead of time to help guests plan for the trip.
