INTERNET LETS WEDDING GO AS PLANNED
A wedding is a time of great happiness and the
stuff of wonderful memories. But getting to that special moment can be
a completely different experience. The planning and keeping track of
everything can become a demographic nightmare. There's the sending out
of invitations, receiving and noting RSVPs, creating gift registries,
coordinating where everyone will stay once you tell them how to get
there, making sure everyone is notified in case there's a change in
plans, the list goes on and on. With so much to plan and control, it's
a wonder sometimes how so many pull it off. But now there's a way to
use the universal access and connectivity of the Internet to make
things go a lot more smoothly.
VirtuallyMarried.com lets you create your own
web site that serves as a central communications hub on which you can
plan and coordinate most all of your wedding activities. After
selecting from a wide range of website themes and colors such as
"Formal Black" and "Broadway Blue," you can instantly set everything
up to accommodate your needs. The templates are easy to assemble and
require absolutely no knowledge of programming. You simply select what
you want displayed and the rest is done for you. Visitors are greeted
with a professionally designed website that is easy to navigate.
Most every detail of the wedding can be
displayed before and even after the event. Directing everyone to your
custom wedding web site is as easy as giving out the site's address
and password. Details of the event, road maps, hotel reservations,
local dining, shopping, entertainment and car rentals can all be made
via VirtuallyMarried's partners that have direct access links
throughout the web site. There's even a link to the Weather Channel
that provides current weather conditions for the day.
Using VirtuallyMarried's method of consolidation
offers abilities you'd be hard pressed to accomplish by some other
manner. For example, the Gift Registry allows couples to register at
several different merchant locations rather than just one. This is
done by listing all the different merchant locations and web sites
where the couple has been registered within the VirtuallyMarried web
site. A Wish List can also be displayed within the same location. As
gifts are selected, you can update the wish list to reflect what has
been purchased so as to prevent redundant selections from being made.
Other fun items let you post wedding polls and
questions such as "Where should we go for our honeymoon?" and "Where
did we meet?" followed by multiple choice answers. The ongoing results
can be made available to everyone visiting your web site. Posting
wedding photos using the site's slide show feature lets everyone see
all the wedding highlights.
Additional areas let you post an online Guest
Book where visitors to your site and wedding can sign up along with
little comments that everyone can enjoy. You can post "Our Story' that
details how you met, your plans, ambitions, where you are going to
live, in fact anything you want all of your friends and loved ones to
share knowing about you. "Details of Events" let you post anything
related such as the where and when of related events such as the
bridal shower, bachelor party, out of towner's dinner and the wedding
itself. Guests can also contact you directly via the web site.
Your wedding is going to be one of the biggest
events in your lifetime and anything that will help you make it all go
more smoothly should be a welcome addition. You may find that the $99
fee for a VirtuallyMarried web site just might be the best money
you'll spend on this joyous occasion.
