Ok, so now you're engaged, have your locations set and have probably even narrowed down photographer, DJ, caterer and (if you're lucky) a florist.
Now what?
Well, the next step for Erik and I in our wedding planning was to put it all on the internet. This is the age of information, so we figured it's a fantastic way to spread the news. There are a SLEW of options for wedding Web sites. Some of them, such as
My Wedding and
the Knot are free. Others, such as
Nearlyweds (isn't that such a clever name?) have a free trial, then small fee to host a site. (Disclaimer: I'm not endorsing any of these sites, just listing a few for examples. For a full list, just
Google the words
"Wedding Website" and you'll have more than enough information to keep you busy for the next year!) AND if you're on
Facebook , you can even add a Wedding box to your profile!
Some of these sites are fully adjustable. Others, not so much. Some even have matching invitations ... so be sure to check out all of the options that are available!
My FAVORITE feature is the registry. You can often link DIRECTLY to your registry from your wedding Web site! This means there's no need to put those little slips in your invitations that lets guests know where you're registered (I'm a little old fashioned and am not a huge fan of those anyway!)
