Social media now plays a big part in the wedding planning process. Couples will keep their guests informed through Facebook, blogs, Twitter and wedding websites. You will see posts such as “ Keep August 18th open” or “Just booked our photographer”. Family and friends feel like they are now part of the planning.
Your entire wedding can all be done online through wedding websites. Enter your guest list and check people off as they reply. Pick out wedding dresses, cakes and décor you like. You can even make your invitations and print them off at home.
Wedding bloggers love to give prizes away. Make a note to do a daily scan of your favorite wedding tweeters. Sometimes all you have to do is post a tweet to be entered!
Facebook can be a handy tool to remind your bridal party of all their duties. It is also a big help if some of your bridal party lives out of town or even out of country. Create an event on Facebook and invite hundreds of people to your Stag and Doe.
Just remember that a lot of your older guests might not be well versed in the social media world. Make sure to give them a call or send an invite by mail. You don’t want Grandma missing your shower because she didn’t get the Facebook Event invite.
