As a wedding coordinator, I’ve experienced from experience how difficult it can be to organize your guests. You’re likely being asked the same questions repeatedly – “When’s the wedding?” “Where should I stay?” “Where are you registered?” “Can I bring the kids?” and so on. If you’re planning a wedding, organize, so save yourself the energy and time!
This is the point where Wix.com is a great resource. With hundreds of free, customizable templates and simple-to-use interfaces, Wix is our top choice to build your wedding site regardless of your web design skills (or inability to do so If you’re anything like me).
It’s never been easier to answer those dreadful questions and, even more importantly, show affection! Wix offers a variety of beautiful wedding templates for you to pick from. Whether elegant and romantic, fun and fun, or sleek and contemporary, there’s a template that will suit any bride.
If you’re only beginning, read through eight of our best tips on what you should include in the Wix wedding website. These tips are tested and proven by real brides who have completed the task and often have learned it through trial and error, and you don’t have to!
Tell Your Story
In the past, you’ve likely been asked millions of times, “how did you guys meet?” Perhaps you enjoy reliving the tale over and over, or maybe you’d prefer to take them to a separate webpage on your site and talk about your love story until you’re satisfied.
We love it when couples can share “both sides” of the story. You may even gain some new things from your spouse’s viewpoint!
Include an FAQ
Reduce the time you’d have spent answering the endless questions that fill up your inbox and text messages, and add a simple FAQ page on your website.
Plus, it can be as simple as you like without hurting feelings.
For instance, the question: “Can I bring a date?”
The answer is: “We wish we could provide everyone with a plus one However, our venue has limited guests. Therefore, if the date you’re planning to invite is listed by your invitation card, we’ll be there! If not, we’ll promise [insert gorgeous bestie here] to join you for a dance.”
Find Promo Codes
Bridal Thoughts’ editor-in-chief and the real bride! -The managing editor at Bridal Musings is also a real bride! Claire Eliza suggests finding promo coupons for your guests to make use of.
“Searching to find promo code discounts is simple and effortless but many people do not realize that it’s an actual thing that’s why we added an offer code to rent a car for our Mexico wedding and helped save people 20% off their rental. It also meant that everyone was renting from the same firm that was convenient for those coming and going out of the area.”
Manage RSVPs
We know that traditional RSVP cards aren’t the best choice -from purchasing and creating the cards to arranging for postage and dealing with guests who have had theirs stolen, they can cause more hassle than they’re worth.
You can manage your RSVPs directly on your site. If guests aren’t responding quickly (and you’ll find them! ), send them a text message or a text reminder with the direct URL to your RSVP page.
Tell Guests About Your Future Plans (If You Want To!)
If you plan to move to a new location, travel to a new destination for your honeymoon, or simply settle into the new married life, consider sharing your plans with curious guests. They might even be able to help select the correct items from your registry and also nip any other questions (“when will you have children?”) in the bud.
