FIRST OFF, WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE A DESTINATION WEDDING WEBSITE?

The best way to manage your wedding guests and all of their questions is by having a wedding website! If you are planning a destination wedding then chances are your guests are flying in from multiple destinations. A wedding  web site is a great way to keep everyone in the loop no matter where in the world they are!

WHAT SHOULD YOU INCLUDE ON THE WEBSITE?

  • The ceremony and reception date, time, location, and what to wear

  • Local accommodation recommendations

  • Airlines that fly in and out of the major cities that your guests are coming from Costa Rica

  • A map of the town

  • An explanation of the “address” system in CR

  • An about page about you and your fiancee with photos

  • What to pack

  • Fun stuff to do in the area

  • Scheduled activities – brunches, ziplining, etc.

  • Links to your wedding registry

  • Honeymoon info – optional but your loved ones want to hear where you’ll be heading after the wedding

  • Safety, local currency, ability to drink local water

  • Frequently asked questions

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE AN FAQ?

Every bride receives a lot of questions about the wedding details. Your friends and family are going to be nervous about traveling to an unknown location and will need extra information. To help ease the number of questions you receive to be sure to thoroughly fill out the Frequently Asked Questions page of the website. As your guests ask new questions add them to the FAQ.

HOW DO I CREATE MY WEDDING WEBSITE?

The various wedding websites available are super user-friendly and allow you to easily create a beautiful, chic site. It is important to choose a website platform for your wedding website that allows you to make updates with ease as you’ll need to add information throughout the planning process.
