Make it Interactive.
Of course, your site is about you. However the purpose of putting your wedding on the web is to get other people involved. You want them celebrating with you! To do this, offer your guests and visitors a way they can express their thoughts about your big day.
Quiz your guests: About your life, relationship, or wedding trivia (like where certain traditions come from). Then, post the answers every week.
Keep in Touch: It’s usually a good idea to include your email address(es), so that visitors to your site can contact you personally.
Guest book: You never know who will sign in! People you haven’t heard from in years sometimes stumble on your site.
Discussion Group: Wedding party members can discuss details about fittings, get directions to events and communicate with the busy bride and groom about wedding business. Also friends can post their favorite memories of the couple, funny stories, and well wishes.
Update: One of the rules of web design that can help you make your wedding page a popular spot is to update it regularly. People will keep coming back if there’s something new there. Your content needs to be kept alive, current and accurate. Also, forms, scripts, and links can malfunction and should be checked regularly to ensure they are in good working order.
Pre-wedding: keep a wedding journal of big events, problems, decisions, or just your thoughts along the way.
Post-wedding: provide a wedding walk-through for guest who couldn't attend but sent gifts. Put your pictures up as soon as you get them back. You can even include honeymoon snapshots, since everyone but you two missed that! Also give your new address and contact information.
