One of the most common issues we hear from couples who’ve hosted a virtual wedding ceremony this year is their guests texting them about where to find the link to their zoom meeting. That’s not fun when you’re about to walk down the aisle.
Our tip is to create a wedding website with all of this information laid out for your guests so you can avoid all of that drama. If you do it right, all your guests need to know is that one link, your wedding website URL. Once they’re there, they can find links to all your virtual events and more.
Create a wedding website for your virtual event
Let’s be real, your wedding deserves more than another calendar invite! Setting up a wedding website is the perfect way to tell your love story of how you met your fiance and share those beautiful engagement photos!
With rules and regulations constantly changing across different regions, communication with guests is an absolute necessity during COVID. Unlike paper mediums, your website can be continuously updated to share information and answer any questions your guests might have in the lead up to your event.
Above all else, using your wedding website as the virtual venue for hosting your live stream is the best way to ensure all your guests are able to attend smoothly.
