@theknot Wedding Website..CHECK!

This is a MUST!! Your wedding website takes care of so many things for you like: 

• Guest can RSVP (saves money on return envelopes, stamps and printing)
• You can put ALL the information about the wedding on there (not the invite)
• Hotel information
• Registration info
• What to do during your stay
• Facebook info!!

OK...since I went through this all I'll walk you through it so it's easy for you. 

First go to www.theknot.com to pick out a template. I chose a free one because the paid templates  were not as cute. The good thing about the paid one ($30) is that it  lets you pick out a custom URL. The free one gave me this LONG URL...BUT wait there's a way around that. If you go to www.godaddy.com and pay for a URL ($14) you can forward the URL it to the free template. The guy at godaddy.com was SUPER nice and walked me through everything. DONE!

Start filling out the template.  What do you want your guest to know? We did an intro page, then something about us, how he popped the question, wedding party info, ceremony/reception info, hotel info/what to do in San Diego, facebook (I started a group that I'm inviting everyone to), registry and RSVP. It's super easy. You can rearrange and rename the pages too. 

For each page you are only allowed one photo. SO, I put together a collage of photos of Robert and I and made it in to one jpg (did this in photo shop). You could do this in powerpoint and take a screen shot of what you did (this makes it not such a big file) Screen shot for an apple computer- shift, command, 4. 

Theknot.com also attaches your "guest list" to your website. You upload everyone's name, address and it tells you how many invites you need to send out, when people RSVP (if someone trys to RSVP that's not on the list it says "you're not on the list an email was sent to ML" LOVE IT and it also lets you do seat charting...we haven't gotten that far yet. 

I'm slightly obsessed with theknot.com. Their site is MAJOR. They're on twitter too @theknot and they answer your questions...AMAZING!!

Ok, good luck and let me know if you have any questions Twitter: @mrsrobertjames.
