Today I got an invite to view my husbands cousins Wedding Website.
I thought that it was a good idea until I started reading it.
Is this something new that people are doing for their weddings??
The invitation is listed as well as other details.
I think it is tacky.

If they didn't send out any wedding invitations than Yes, I think it's tacky of them . Alot of people make a a website with wedding photos & honeymoon pictures,but I never heard of anyone making a pre-wedding site.

Apparently its something "new". I have a friend who's daughter is getting married and they have one too. Its kind of neat in a way..but I'm a tech geek and I think anything techy is cool....LOL

my daughers friend got married last weekend. They are rather young ( 20&21) her parents are pretty old and she was a late in life child. they didnt have alot of money to spend on a wedding and the advisor they had helping them with the wedding suggested that they should sent the invites by email to all their friends that has email. they did send regular invites she made on the pc to people who dont have email. I can see why they did it this way since they didnt have a lot to spend on the wedding. I dont have a problem with it with the cost of stamps rising soo much.

I don't think it's tacky (if it's what I'm thinking it is). My nephew and his bride did this a few years ago. It's a site BEFORE they're married, right? There's a wedding website that does this. It will show the engagement picture and it lists who the bridal party will be and their relationship to the couple, how the couple met and just anything the couple wants to put on the site. There's even a place for people to send them a note on the site.

When my son and his wife got married, the photographer posted all the wedding pictures online and you could view them there. You had to have a special password to get into the site. I don't think that's tacky either.

I think with technology the way it is today, we're going to see more and more of this and I guess we might as well get used to it!

If they did not send out paper invitations and this was supposed to be YOUR invite, then yes, to me, that is tacky. However, if as family they are sending you a link to their website to share in the preparations, then that's ok. Hopefully you will get a paper one in snail mail soon....

As long as its not the actual invite, I think it's a neat idea. Kind of fills everyone in on the plans for the actual day.

DH aunt did something similiar for their family reunion. Each family had to come up with a theme meal, daily plans/games were announced and ideas for things to do during the day. It was a really get website.

I think those websites are very clever. I love them ! Wish I could do something like that, I'm so computer illiterate.

But if it's a formal, semi-formal wedding, then you have to send formal invitations.

Small informal weddings, with a tight budget, I say why not. As long as you don't tell people what you expect for a wedding present, or put a gift registery along with the invitation. Tacky, Tacky, Tacky !

I don't see anything wrong with it whether it is their invitation or just their pre-wedding site. With the way the world is today with the internet, I think it is pretty smart especially since weddings can cost so much.

I really don't think it's tacky. On this one, I go with the , "Different strokes for different folks" thing. Besides, you don't know what the couple's situtation is. I know I have a website on www.theknot.com, but I am not posting my invitation on the web. Maybe since I'm older, however, I want to send out paper invitations, and I have budgeted for them. The neat thing about weddings today, especially second weddings, is that just about anything goes. If the bride and groom are happy, and they feel good about it, what does it matter? Just my opinion. :-)

I think it's new and I haven't decided if it's tacky or not. My brother is getting married for the 2nd time to a woman who it's her 4th time. So much about this whole thing is tacky I can't contain it to just the website! They've sent it to everyone - even people who I don't think should even be invited and they are registered at several stores! They already live together and have everything they need. I could go on and on, but will stop now!

We got a cute thing from my cousin before their wedding. It was a magnet telling us to "save the date". Then we got an invitation closer to the wedding. I thought that was a cool idea too, since everyones calandars seem to be so full.

I agree with those who think a wedding site is great for some things....list of reception site and church directions, etc., but NOT in place of a formal invitation.

Have the courage to be yourself.

With all of the neat and cheap invitations/paper w/envelopes included that you can buy nowadays and do the invits on your home computer, I don't get what the big deal is about invitations anymore. There are some very professional items out there. All of the neat stuff wasn't available when i got married and you still had to go to a professional printer to get them done, which was expensive. I guess I can see the expense with stamps if you're inviting a lot of guests.

I haven't seen a bridal website either, but we haven't been invited to a wedding in years. I think everyone we know is married or newly divorced, ha ha. The website sounds neat. I don't guess I see a problem with it either, but I would be confused if I was sent an email to the website without there being any type of email 'invitation' included. I would be like, "Are we invited or do they just want us to look at the website?" I think a lot of people would be offended though if they found out that some people got 'real' invitations and others just received an 'email' one. Might make them feel like they were not that important of a guest. I do however think it would be WONDERFUL for the RSVP thing. Most of us are on our computers daily and can quickly do this, instead of trying to get time to sit down and fill out the RSVP card & actually mail it.
