Going Virtual with Your Wedding!

Hello lovelies!

This posting is about going virtual with your wedding information and even invitations!

Almost everyone now has an email address (unless it's your tia Cuca from el rancho) but regardless, her kids probably know how to use the internet and have email addresses.

Using the internet to keep family and friends in the loop, is a great tool to help you stay organized and in a way it can help you simplify this crazy process.

Some sites have you paying for their services, but I'm trying to save you ( and me) some moola so here are two ways to still create a website for your special day that will help you keep loved ones in the loop for FREE. Some will even allow you to put passwords so that the metiches who are not invited to your party cannot see the specific information. :)

mywedding.com
This is a great website that allows you to upload pictures, songs, guest lists and rsvps. I plan to attach our wedding link to our RSVP cards so that people can just go directly to our website to RSVP and skip mailing it in. I also use this website to keep my bridal party in the "know". I love posting pictures of my family and friends so that people can get an understanding of who we are.

I really enjoy this site over the other one because it is easy to remember and not too long to put in an rsvp card. :) You can also customize the site using various colors, designs and fonts!
You can see my wedding site at www.mywedding.com/jazminandarmando

theknot.com
The knot has great resources, but they have so much on their website that it could be a bit daunting. They also offer you a free wedding website where your guests can rsvp and you can use their various tools to organize the wedding. However, the link to your wedding page is a bit long and complicated, but it has great resources. :)

weddingchannel.com
This is another website that is almost exactly like theknot.com


Check these sites out and see which one is going to work better for you. :) These are all free and you don't need to know html code to create a wedding site.
