How to Create A Wedding Website Your Guests Will Love

May 6, 2020 by sfleckgrl

Wedding Websites are a must, especially for all of our clients who are coming to Vail/Aspen for their destination weddings.  Having a good website will be super helpful for your guests, and will make your life a lot easier too! Here are my tips….

WHEN TO CREATE IT

After you choose your wedding date, select your venue,  secure your room block, come up with times of your planned weekend events, take engagement photos, and set up your registry you will be ready to create your wedding website.  I recommend sending the URL with the save the dates if you’re having an engagement party because your registry will be on the website, and your guests will want to see that.  If you’re not having an engagement party, you can wait and send it with your invitations if you want.

HOW TO SET IT UP

There are 2 ways to do it….

The easiest way is to use a free site like Zola, The Knot, or Minted. All of these websites have tons of cute templates and are really easy to use.  The only thing I don’t like about using a free site, is the domain won’t be completely custom… For example It will be theknot.com/sarahandjohnswedding or something like that….

If you want a custom domain, and a more professional looking website,  I recommend using Wix or Square Space.  What I don’t like about this option is it’s not free, and the websites are harder to create. They’re not terrible, I’m not a software developer, and I’ve made them myself with a little help from YouTube.  There are also pros you can hire to do it for you.  

No matter how you decide to set up the website, you’ll want to make sure your fonts, style, colors, etc.. coordinate well with your save the dates and invitations, so it looks well planned and put together.

WHAT TO INCLUDE

All the information you would like your guests to know.  Ask yourself, if I were a guests, what would I want to see on the website?…. Usually includes…

  • The Story of how you met your fiance
  • Wedding Weekend Events ( time, location, attire transportation details for rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, brunch, etc…..)
  • Travel and Lodging Information ( airport options to fly into, airport transportation options, room block options that you have set up, other hotel recommendations.)
  • Your Registry
  • Your Proposal Story if you want to include it. We’re also proposal planners, and we always get our proposals published, so the couple can link their proposal story to their website! 
  • Recommendations for Things to Do around Town and Any Other Recommendations that might be helpful, like babysitters
  • A Place to RSVP, I still recommend sending physical RSVP cards with your invitations, but it’s nice to have a place to rsvp on the website too because why not?
  • Pictures of you and your fiance for all around the website, and you can add a gallery if you want.
  • Your Wedding Planner’s contact info in case anyone has any questions

If you would like to see an example of really great wedding website, check out my video…

Nobody Deserves to Enjoy Your Event More Than You.

Since 2015 Party Girl Events has been helping awesome clients plan and execute weddings and events that are smooth flowing and memorable. We've been everywhere from mountain tops to farms, from back yards to swanky ballrooms. We've worked through crazy snowstorms, fixed ripped bridesmaid's dresses, air brushed a sunburnt groom's forehead, and re-stacked wedding cakes on the fly. We love planning all events. It doesn’t matter how big or small, what the budget is, or how out of the box the vision. As long as you’re excited about it, then we'd love to be a part of it!

When the arbor we wanted didn’t exist, @rosepeta When the arbor we wanted didn’t exist, @rosepetalsvail Said “I have a welder. We’ll get that custom made.” It was fabulous!
This proposal design was inspired by the couple’ This proposal design was inspired by the couple’s favorite song, “Just like Heaven.” They even had a harpist, and now I think a harpist should be standard for every proposal! @denverharpist played as the couple arrived, and then when she said yes, we turned on the fireworks! After the proposal, the couple went to splendido to enjoy dinner in a yurt, and came back to their room decorated with rose petals, candles, and photos. This proposal was absolutely perfect!  #vailproposal #vailproposalplanner #romanticproposal #heavenly #perfectproposal #proposalsetup #babiesbreath #proposalideas #proposalplanner #coloradoproposal #coloradoproposalplanner

We love Engagement Season, and I don’t think it’s ending for us this year! This proposal setup was incredible, and it was our plan B!

Surprisingly this was the first indoor proposal we’ve ever done!  #romanticproposal #proposalplanner #engagement #proposal #destinationproposalplanner #destinationproposal #proposalcandles #decoratedstaircase #vailproposal #vailproposalplanner #coloradoproposalplanner #arrabellevail #coloradoproposal
Out of all the fabulous proposals we’ve planned, Out of all the fabulous proposals we’ve planned, this was the most extreme and elaborate! The couple was picked up in Aspen in a  helicopter which took them to the @electricmountainlodge in Paonia where they went on a snowmobile tour. Half way through their tour they stumbled upon their beautiful proposal setup, and then they had a private lunch in a cabin! It was incredible! The heli snowmobile proposal idea was my client’s , and when he told me that’s what he wanted, I was really nervous! I didn’t know if we could pull it off! If we didn’t find Frank with @nomadinc and if the team @electricmountainlodge didn’t bend over backwards to help us with our crazy needs, it would have been impossible. I’m proud of us! #helicopterproposal #snowmobileproposal #perfectproposal #proposalplanner #coloradoproposal #paoniaproposal #aspenproposal #aspenproposalplanner #winterproposal #coloradoproposalplanner

Our client’s last name is Molina. His new fiancé’s first name is Melina, so if she takes his last name she’ll be Melina Molina! This proposal was sparktacular! Splendido is a fabulous proposal spot because They always say yes to our crazy ideas, they have a beautiful patio, delicious food, and yurts!

Shanna, our planner, pretended to be the hostess and led the group to the beautiful proposal setup where Michelle Cohn Levy was playing their favorite song! That wasn’t all! As another surprise our client, Brad, rented one of the houses at The Lodge for an after party with a private chef, more fabulous music performed by Michelle, and of course we decorated the house, and did a rose petal turndown.  #breckenridgeproposal #breckenridgeproposalplanner #proposalplanner #perfectproposal #coloradoproposal #coloradoproposalplanner #vailproposalplanner #vailproposal #marriageproposal #marriageproposalplanner
Could you image if this was your proposal? This wa Could you image if this was your proposal? This was one of the most challenging proposals we’ve ever done! Ski Patrol gave us a ride and helped us bring a lot of our stuff to the Proposal spot, and we traveled up a gondola then a chair lift, and then skid with the rest! When we got to the deck where we wanted to have the proposal, there wasn’t a view because it was snowing too much, plus it was windy (45 mph winds), and the letters were blowing over , so we decided to change the location on the fly.  The setup looked great in front of the trees. When it was time for the proposal, My girl, May, pretended to be the couples “tour guide,” and she led them to the spot. It was perfect!! #winterproposal #vailproposal #vailproposalplanner #beavercreekproposal #crestedbutteproposal #skiproposal #proposalplanner #marriageproposal #perfectproposal
This snowy proposal was everything! Our client, Ad This snowy proposal was everything! Our client, Adam, wanted to include their adorable dog, Charlie, in his proposal to Deidra. Adam told Deidra they were going on a photo shoot, which typically I would think would give away the surprise, but some couples have photo shoots together normally, so it wasn’t suspicious at all. She was so surprised, and It worked great because the photographer, @toniaxelrod could lead them to the proposal spot, and she was able to set up her lights on the trail without having to hide them.  The setup was beautiful , and worth the hike! I love the challenging ones! Later they had a beautiful rose petal turndown including a congratulations message from Lisa Vanderpump.  #winterproposal #proposalplanner #coloradoproposalplanner #destinationproposalplanner #breckenridgeproposal #proposalideas #marriageproposal #vailproposalplanner #crestedbutteproposalplanner
