Five Reasons You Should Make a Wedding Website
Guest Post by: Geoff Evason from Momentville

Making a wedding website can be both fun and very useful for your wedding.  For couples who haven’t yet made their own wedding website we’d like to point out 5 great reasons to consider making one.

First, a wedding website is very useful for sharing wedding information with your guests.  By adding the details of your wedding you can use your wedding website as a central spot for information about your wedding.  Letting your guests easily find all the relevant information in one place makes things easier for everyone.  This is especially true for destination weddings and out of town guests.

Second, a wedding website is a great way for communicating updates with your guests.  Some of the newer wedding websites allow your guests to subscribe to updates you make.  This makes your website a handy ongoing communication tool and allows you to feel confident that your guests are hearing about updates.  If a wedding website provider offers RSS feeds then you can even share your updates on social networking sites like Facebook.

Third, wedding websites can be great for helping you plan your wedding.  Many wedding websites include electronic invites, electronic RSVPs, and guest/meal tracking features.  This makes it a snap to keep track of who has/hasn’t RSVPed, who is coming, and how many of each type of meal has been requested.

Fourth, you can use your wedding website to interact with your guests before and after the wedding.  If you add a wedding blog to your website, everyone can read about how the planning is coming along.  You can use interactive features such as guest books to ask for music requests.  That is a great way to make sure everyone gets to hear some music that they like, and helps everyone feel more involved. After the wedding, you can get your guests to upload their photos of your event so you can get all the best shots.

Fifth, a wedding website can help you preserve your memories.  After the event is finished, you can add photos from your special day.  In the future you can then look back at your website and remember how magical your wedding was and have all the details, planning info, and photos available to see.  Unfortunately, many wedding website providers offer websites that expire after one year.  Your memories don’t expire, why should your website?

There are many other reasons you might consider making your own wedding website.  Above we highlighted the top 5 reasons that were important to us in building MomentVille.  MomentVille.com offers an easy, fun, and free way to build your own wedding website that never expires.  Our goal is to help people plan, share, and remember life’s special moments.

Crazy Wedding Day?

Your wedding day typically goes by in a whirlwind.  There are so many things to do and to worry about.
You think you're going to have it rough?  Check out this story of, Indianapolis area groom, Chad Ballenger & his fiance Stacie Buck! "Coach's big day adds hitch, maybe victory"

Chad is the Hamilton Heights boys basketball coach.  He got married on December 27th, 2008 @ 12:30pm and coached his team's game at 6pm that evening! Obviously this wasn't planned this way, but when your team gets a chance to play at Conseco… you don't miss it!

What would you do if something major came up on the same day as your wedding?  Would you let it ruin your big day or would you just "go with the flow"?

Anyone have a similar story about their crazy wedding day?
