Why do you need a Wedding Website?
When hosting an Italian wedding, there’s quite a bit of info to communicate to your guests. At La Lista we’re huge fans of paper stationery but there’s some things that the digital world can just do better. Hear us out!
A wedding website offers a space that can be constantly updated with new information. So if your plans change, or become more concrete (think times and locations for other wedding events), you have more exciting advice for your guests whether that’s accommodation or things to do, you can update the website at any time.
We suggest getting your wedding website live as soon as you have booked your venue; this way you can advise guests on accommodation and travel options as early as possible.
• Wedding date, time and location
• Travel details
• Early RSVP: indicative RSVP of whether guests are likely to attend, so you can invite more guests if you have space, or better budget throughout the rest of planning
• Accommodation suggestions
• Dietary requests
• Your contact details
• RSVP
• Your love story
• Breakdown of events schedule with RSVP
• Things to do in area
• Guest transport requirements (whether they want shuttles to and from venue)
• Guest accommodation address (for planning transport routes as above)
• Registry (if your having one)
• Contact details of your wedding planner
Wedding Website by White Vines Studio
Some websites also offer the functionality of sending wedding branded emails to your guests which can also be a great way to communicate in between the gorgeous printed stationery you might be sending.
There are some great website hosts out there. Our couples recommend The Knot, With Joy and Minted. For a small fee, Appy Couple and Hitched are also easy to use.
If you’re time poor and would like a fully bespoke website with unique URL, you can use Squarespace, Wix or Wordpress to build your own. White Vines Studio, proud La Lista member specialise in building wedding websites; the cost is around £450.
