Five reasons you need a customisable wedding website from Say I do in your life
Posted on
Meet the new way to do weddings.
Gone are the days where you’d have to spend hours hand-writing invitations, planning seating charts with sticky notes, and panic calling your great aunt Janice to confirm that she knows that the ceremony is 2.45 pm not 12.45 pm – weddings have gone digital and planning has never been easier.
Launched eight years ago in Melbourne, Say I do is a homegrown wedding app helping couples…well, say ‘I Do’. And with an upsurge of betrothed couples saying ‘goodbye’ to traditional invites, we sat down with the team to find out why you need a wedding website in your life.
And honestly, who needs a wedding planner when you have a website like this?
You’ll be more organised but less stressed
Think adding a wedding website to your to-do list will only stress you out more? Think again. The beauty of a wedding website like those created by Say I do is it’ll help you keep track of the chaos that is planning a wedding.
Have so much to do you don’t know where to start? You can create a free, personalised wedding checklist.
Worried about how you’re going to keep track of your guest list? You don’t need to waste time sending emails, messages, or making phone calls – all you need to do is send one link to everyone and let them fill out their details.
Have guests coming from another country? Say I do is also multilingual ready, so you won’t have any ‘lost in translation’ moments. In short, it’s everything you need in one place. And it will keep you sane.
Thank us when you’re knee-deep in seating planning and using the ‘Drag & Drop’ feature on Say I do.
You can customise it completely to what you want
From the moment you create your wedding website at Say I do, you have complete control over everything, from the design to the information people can find on there.
Offering hundreds of designs to choose from (which you can change at any time if you’re feeling a wee bit undeceive), from the moment your guest enters the unique website address and hits ‘enter’, you can set the tone for the big day. It’s a great way to give your guests some insight into your relationship (Serious? Silly? Ooey-gooey or ready to partayyy?) while giving a sneak peek into the day itself, giving everyone a glimpse of what to expect. It’s completely unique, just like your relationship.
And with the option to add extra information like how you met, it’ll be sure to help with any awkwardness with guests you don’t know on a personal level but had to invite to the big day for one reason or another (hello great aunt Janice).
It makes communication a breeze
One of the worst things about wedding planning is making sure everyone is on the same page – from the bridal party to the guests. Plus, there’s only so much you can fit onto a wedding invite. Luckily, a wedding website is a one-stop spot for all the information everyone might need on the day, in an easy-to-access location.
An example? You can outline expectations for the day, add directions to the wedding venue, suggest restaurants and things to do for out-of-towners, and even outline your preferences for gift registries and wishing wells. Another bonus? You can even add a ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ section to cover all of these necessary details and put guests (and yourself) at ease.
Plus, if anything changes, you can quickly update the website without having to call/text/email/DM/send a carrier pigeon to possibly hundreds of guests. Also, people can lose an invite, but they can’t lose a website.
Unless they’re very talented.
It’s more environmentally friendly
Goodbye paper invitations and seating charts made of Post-It notes. With the option to reduce unnecessary waste, why wouldn’t you want to go digital?
Helping you create a greener, more eco-friendly wedding, you’ll save time, money, and the environment by inviting your guests online. With all the paper involved with wedding planning (from the invitation itself to the envelope, to the RSVP card), you massively reduce the carbon footprint of your day.
Also, there’s no need to spend hours licking stamps – it’s as easy as pressing a button. Enough said.
It’s cost-effective
Offering four different plans – Basic, Standard, Premium, and Platinum – depending on what you want out of our wedding website, and your budget, there’s an option available at Say I do.
For those inviting up to 85 guests who need help managing RSVPs, the Basic plan is free to use. But for those looking for a bit more, plan prices range from $70 to $140. But just think about how much money you’ll save compared to hiring a wedding planner and how easy it’ll make sticking to a budget.
From cutting out the expense of sending out physical paper invitations alone, you’re already saving a few extra dollars that can go towards something special (like your honeymoon). Plus, another little bonus is your website will be password-protected, so it can be kept away from prying eyes and everyone’s data will be kept safe.
But honestly? Just think how much time you’ll save in the long run. That in itself makes using a wedding website worth it.
Happy planning!
