Wedding Websites : A Sign of the Times

The Internet Age has transformed the way we do most things day-to-day – revolutionising even our long-established social mores ... like getting married. And so, the advent of the Wedding Website. Many a bride and groom are turning away from their scissors, ribbons, and glue when it comes to communicating important details between loved ones towards the more tech-savvy alternative. There are several advantages to opting for this avant-garde approach to documenting life's special moments. Let me direct you to an up-and-coming free wedding website builder called, MomentVille.com to exemplify my points. 1) Decrease costs: This refers not only to monetary costs but also your valuable personal time and effort costs. For starters, using the electronic medium significantly reduces a couple's stationary and postage bills. With the average cost of weddings increasing each year, this option is a lot more budget-friendly without compromising the end result. Users of the MomentVille website builder can set up their personal wedding website such that guests can RSVP, request songs for the reception playlist, vote on the honeymoon location, share stories about the Bride and Groom, and leave messages in a virtual Guestbook - all online. Communication can flow between the couple and their guests effortlessly without the need for costly return envelopes or standing in line for stamps. 2) MomentVille.com is Green: Be kind to the Earth and reduce your 'ecological footprint'! Any energy emissions produced by MomentVille's host servers are off-set with carbon credits thanks to the help of TickGreen.com. 3) An efficient and highly effective way to interact with guests - no matter their location: Back in the 'B.C' years (i.e. Before Computers), communication between guests (especially those living far away) and the organising parties occurred via snail mail and the telephone. By using a personal wedding website it becomes far more efficient and much less expensive to interact and share information with guests in the online environment. Couples can provide regular updates, refer guests to other useful websites (e.g. the venue for the reception) by adding hyperlinks, and illustrate their information with photos and customised maps. 4) An electronic preservation of your entire wedding experience: A wedding website becomes a brilliant medium for chronicling a couple's entire wedding experience - from the moment the engagement is on to well after the last song plays at the reception. It is not only a mechanism to communicate and interact with guests, but it is also a way for the couple to record their memories of the planning process, their special lead-up events (such as Bridal Showers, and the Rehearsal Dinner), and include messages from their loved ones and well-wishers. MomentVille users can upload their photos into photo galleries, add slideshows using their wedding soundtrack, and even stream wedding videos. 5) The capabilities of a wedding website far surpass what you can do with traditional scrapbooks. MomentVille allows website creators to integrate sound clips, videos, and slide shows. You can now have all the various forms of capturing memories accessible from the same place: your own wedding website. Wedding websites are quickly become a necessity for brides and grooms who are 'in-the-know', for all the reasons listed above and many more. Like many other things, the internet has made sharing and remembering specials events like your wedding easier and more enjoyable.
