Did you have a wedding website?
I think it could be helpful, especially since most of our guests are coming from out of town. FI thinks it is very cheesy - I just put some of our engagement photos on it, it's really not that bad IMO and password protected it so randoms can't see it.
Did you have one? Was it helpful for your guests?
Did you put the website on your save the dates? I'm going to start working on those this weekend - yay!
Re: Did you have a wedding website?
I did (one reason I set up a new SN once we separates/pursued divorce).
It helped a lot of people especially since we had a renaissance themed wedding.
We had one, and guests were able to RSVP online if they preferred to. Most of them did, so that definitely made it worth the effort.
It was also helpful because we got married basically in the middle of nowhere, and were able to provide detailed maps and information that was too much to include with the invitation.

DL...which website did you use? I was thinking about this too once we have more details figured out.
I left all that crap out, but did put some pictures of us and of the venues on the pages.
Mort - I just signed up for the free one on theknot.com
We did have one.
I like to think that it was helpful to our guests, but it was 2003 and a relatively new concept. That, and people are just retarded and will ask you a million questions anyway.
We got married in England with many guests coming from the U.S. and Ireland so I thought doing a website was in order.
I think they can be good if you provide hotel or tourist information, or if you're having a multi-location day, how the logistics and timings will work. Or if you've got a big gap between ceremony and reception, local things to do or places to eat.
If they're just a bunch of pictures about how awesomely in love you are and how you met and what favors you are thinking about then forget it.
Yes we did put the website on the STDs.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
Yes.
It was helpful for our guests because most were coming from out of state, and didn't know the area. I could put maps, website links, and registry links on there. It was one stop shop for all our guests. We did rely on some word of mouth, but we did include our registry on our Save The Dates.
I did.
We had directions, dress codes, events we were hosting, hotel info, and other stuff do to in the location. We got a lot of questions that were covered in there, so I don't know how many people looked at it all that thoroughly.
Exactly this. I didn't. We got married at the end of 2005. I think wedding websites are better now then they were then. If I were getting married now, I would probably do one.
