Wedding Planning

The wedding planning experience for today's nearlywed couple is almost entirely different than it was as recently as fifteen or twenty years ago. What's caused things to change so much in such a short time? Two words: Information Age. Today's cutting-edge ideas, inspirations, and resources are now just a mouse click away, and this instant access to information and contacts has really opened up convenient planning opportunities that you can take advantage of.

Online wedding planning tools like budget managers, guest address books, online RSVPs, drop-n-drag seating charts and more have become increasingly popular and mainstream. And for good reason: information management and communication, things that are in high demand during the strategic phases of planning for your big day, are things a computer is inherently good at.

It makes sense that more and more tasks related to planning for the big day--and any large scale event, really--are now done online or with the help of specialized software.

Today more than 80% of engaged couples rely on the Internet for their planning, in fact. Nearlyweds can use the web as a convenience and timesaver to take care of all sorts of planning-related tasks:

• Set up a smart wedding budget that compensates and adjusts as you progress.

• Create a guest address book that builds and updates itself with your guests' help.

• Find online bargains and wholesale discounts on just about everything, even pricey wedding gowns.

• Set up a personal wedding website and showcase your big day in style, as well as make use of it as a communication and planning home base.

• Use online gift registries, making it super-easy for your guests and reducing duplicate purchases.

• Receive RSVP responses that automatically update your guest list and head count in real time.

• Browse online portfolios and third-party reviews to save tons of time by narrowing down your vendor search before you even begin interviews.

These are just a few quick examples: there are so many more ways that you can use the Internet to save time and money with your wedding planning that entire books have been written about it.

The key that can tie everything together is your very own wedding website, where you can showcase your planning and your big day, and which can and should be integrated with all the great tools we mentioned above and more.
