There are days when I feel like my eyes never leave a screen. Whether it’s my computer or my phone, it’s easy to spend most of my day online. Heck! I even complete my daily workouts online (read that as: I aim for daily). Like me, the world of weddings is progressively finding its way into cyber space.
Here are three ways weddings have come online in the hope of making life easier and saving time:
Instagram Photos
Set up an Instagram account with a personal, wedding-related hashtag and let your guests know about it. You will have all the guests’ photos in one place- #instantphotoalbum!
Wedding Websites
Wedding websites are relatively new and can sound a little bit scary. There are options where you can create your own wedding website with little computer experience and for little expense. On your wedding website you can include much more information than in an invitation, so they can actually save you money in printing and postage costs.
One thing to keep in mind though, not everyone may want to get online to find their way to your wedding. If you are aware of guests who don’t enjoy surfing the internet, ensure they have a paper copy of everything they need.
Wedding Planning Programs
Online programs and apps that can be accessed through your tablet or phone are great for ticking wedding planning jobs off your list while you’re on the go. If you’re on your commute to work or waiting in line, you can easily get some wedding planning done. Some programs can include budgets, vendor contact details, checklists and even floor plans. These programs can be especially handy when you need to share information between your wedding suppliers and special helpers.
If I can give any advice about online options for your wedding planning or wedding day, I would say, choose anything that will help you save time and ultimately get you offline and enjoying time with your family and friends. So, if you’ll excuse me I better go do my ‘daily’ workout. Today, I think I’ll skip the screen time and talk my dog for a walk.
