Wedding plans are exciting, but also stressful. So, whenever there’s an area where corners can be cut it’s always a good thing! And although wedding invitations are vital to the planning process, that piece can be adjusted a bit to make things a little easier on you and your wallet.
Personalized wedding websites are a fun and easy alternative to save the dates, wedding invitations and even rsvp cards. But if it sounds a bit too scary not to send out paper invitations, creating a wedding website in combination can serve as a backup or extra layer for your guests to receive information and provide theirs as well.
There are quite a few platforms where couples can build custom websites from Wedding Wire and The Knot to Basic Invite; who also offer casual wedding invites. And if you’re really savvy you could even build your own from scratch. Either way, it’s important to include all the information guests will need.
