Engaged couple saves thousands using personal Wedding Website

Feb. 28, 2008 - PRLog -- Personal wedding websites are slowly becoming a must have for today’s engaged couple.  It used to be the custom that when people were invited to weddings they would have to reach out to the engaged couple or their family to find out basic wedding information like location, lodging information, dress code and where the couple was registered for gifts.  This is no longer the case as thousands of couples every year are hopping online and setting up a detailed personalized wedding website for guests to use as a single source for all things related to their wedding.

“Originally our clients set up their wedding website as a way to help them plan their wedding and as a fun way to share information with guests,” said Karen Miller, founder of DesignOurDay Wedding Websites.  “Our first customers were early adopters and tended to be a little more tech savvy.”  According to Miller, all that has changed as more and more couples now turn to the web and view their wedding website as a crucial wedding planning tool.

Recently however, Karen has seen a new trend developing across a broad spectrum of their wedding website customers.  Couples are now using wedding websites as a way to cut down on the costs of pulling off a wedding which every year seems to balloon even higher.  

“Statistics vary, but the cost of today’s wedding averages $28,000 and in some cases can average more than $50,000 depending on the locale,” says Miller.  One of the largest wedding expenses for today’s couple is the invitation/save the date card.  Getting custom made invites and cards can cost a couple thousands of dollars and this is even before buying postage.  As a way to save money, couples are now using online wedding website companies like http://www.designourday.com to send electronic invitations and save the date cards out to their guests.

Sophie Myers, a DesignOurDay customer is one such bride.  “We looked at the total cost of our wedding and were shocked by how much we were going to spend,” said Myers.  “Every time we mentioned the word wedding to potential vendors, it seemed that their quote would double.  We used our wedding website and a simple email as our way of inviting people to our wedding. Guests had the option to respond to the email directly or go onto our wedding site to RSVP.  The wedding website only cost us $85.00 and we figure it saved us over $2500.00.”
