Free Wedding Help

Getting married can be stressful, especially when you start putting together all the details needed for a perfect wedding. Hiring a wedding planner is ideal, but what if you and your fiance/e are just working on a limited budget and couldn't afford one?

Mywedding.com is an ideal place for you to plan your dream wedding, as it offers a wedding website where you can post all the details of your special day. It is extremely useful in keeping friends and relatives up-to-date about your wedding. The best thing about this is, your wedding website is totally FREE! I wish I'd known about mywedding.com when my husband and I were preparing for our wedding. We used another site which gave us only one month to utilize all of its feature for free. As a result, we lost the site once the trial period expired. :(

From the reviews I've read on a number of wedding forums, mywedding.com has one of the best wedding templates to fit your style and match the theme of your wedding. There's a page to tell your love story and how it led to the engagement, a section to create picture galleries for you and your bridal entourage, and a site to keep a blog where you can express your excitement on getting married or vent frustrations on some vendors. There's also an online RSVP and guestbook to help you manage your wedding guest list. And the option to upload music to your site adds the perfect drama needed to boost the mood of your wedding site.

Free Online Invitations

With almost everything now online comes a faster, easier and chic way of sending invitations to any event: Evite, which lets you send free invitations to your friends anywhere in the world (as long as they have Internet access of course) be it a birthday, a wedding, shower, or even a class reunion.

Evite lets you personalize a free online invitation and customize it depending on your style. Guests are sent an e-mail which provides the link to the invitation. They can RSVP by just a click of a button.

A wedding invitation for instance, is time consuming, from finding a cheap yet good printer, to sending out the wedding invitations, and keeping track of the guests. Evite helps you easily manage and keep track of your guests as it provides real time status of the invitees - who are coming, who have declined and who are still undecided (the maybe group). There's also a space for invitees who want to leave a comment to the host.

My friend used this service for the baptismal of her son. I was impressed at how detailed the list of information was included in the online invitation, including a call-out if you need to carpool.

So toss those envelopes and stamps and go green instead, utilizing those free online invitations.

From Evite Website:
"Evite.com is the top online destination for invitations. A free service, Evite.com estimates it saves party planners millions of dollars in paper invitations and postage each month. With party-planning tools and content, the site helps hosts be more successful while saving even more money and time."
