I don’t know if I made this term up, but I like it.  A Wed-site is a wedding-related website, and it can mean one of two things:

1 – a website a couple creates about their wedding plans, including pictures, date and location information

2 – a website about wedding planning

For this post I’m talking about the first definition.

Creating a wed-site for your wedding can be both fun – a creative outlet for you – as well as informational - for your guests.  There are a lot of companies that offer wed-sites with a variety of features.

I just learned about a new wed-site company, Nearlyweds.com, and I have to say, their features are really cool.  In addition to the basics – telling your story (how you met, got engaged), adding photos and a guestbook – you can also create your own wedding blog, an online contact list and have guests RSVP through the site. (I do not recommend having guests RSVP to your wedding via email, but for an engagement party, bridesmaid luncheon or rehearsal dinner it’s fine.  These are more casual events.)

The templates on the site are awesome.  Very modern, and since they were designed by some of the most popular wedding invitation designers – Wedding Paper Divas, Rock Paper Scissors, Feterie – you can even order your invitations to match your wed-site template.  If you’re all about everything matching this is right up your alley!
