When should I set up my wedding web page?

The moment he slips the ring on your finger! Okay, maybe not that soon, but the earlier the better. Telling guests the date and location early will help them plan ahead.

What should I include?

Everything that you want guests to know about the two of you and your wedding. Some ideas to start:

Tell your story: Give some background info on each of you. Let people know how the two of you met and when you decided to get married.

Introduce the bridal party: Is your maid of honor your best friend from college? Is his best man his brother? Tell your guests who’s who.

Important information: Include the time and location of all your events. Be sure to include wedding info, reception, rehearsal dinner, and so on. Let your guests know if you’ve reserved rooms at a particular hotel.

Helpful advice: Include directions, places to eat and stay in the area for out-of-towners, links to attractions in the area, and even appropriate attire.

Photos: From the day of the proposal, the engagement party, and even your shower -- upload any photos you would like to share. Show family photos –- even your pets.

Registry: Make sure you link all your registries and give your guests one place to see them all.

Guest book (not available on all sites): Guests can post helpful advice or share memories from their own weddings.

RSVP section: Create this section for those guests who prefer to respond electronically.

Music or video (not available on all sites): Why not upload your first dance song or another melody that means a lot to both of you? You can even videotape a special welcome message from the two of you to welcome your guests to the site.

How do I choose a URL?

Choose a URL that is easy for you and your guests to remember (lisaandlarry.com).

How do I share my URL with guests?

Place a note inside the envelope with your invitation. That way your guests will have easy access to useful information that you may not have space for on the invitations.
