New Service Promises to Connect Bride and Groom with Wedding Guests

New service from WiredWedding.com allows couples to easily create personal websites for themselves and their wedding guests.

Columbus, OH, January 27, 2003 - The next time youre invited to that long-lost cousins wedding, you will find that booking a hotel, getting driving directions, and buying a gift are as easy as turning on your computer -- At least thats the promise of WiredWedding.com CEO, Derek Ochs.

A website is the perfect communication tool for a wedding," stated Ochs. Imagine combining a guest book, photo album, RSVP service, wedding registry, and every wedding detail in one place that all guests can easily access. That is exactly what you can do with a wedding website."

WiredWedding.com introduced its new wedding service at a Columbus bridal show in early January. This new service allows couples to easily set up a website for their wedding by going to the companys site (www.WiredWedding.com) and typing in a few wedding details. The service requires no technical knowledge or experience creating web pages.

WiredWedding.com even tries to add a bit of enjoyment to the wedding planning process. Couples love the idea of sharing the story of how they met with friends and family, and they also have lots of fun checking out their website from time to time to see who has left new messages in their guest book," says Ochs.

WiredWedding.com offers couples backgrounds and styles that can completely change the look and feel of their site. Another unique feature is the ability to receive and send online RSVPs. Although this may not be a replacement for traditional reply cards, it does give guests an alternative to the traditional snail mail" approach. When a guest submits an online RSVP, WiredWedding.com immediately notifies the couple by email.

Adding to the popularity of the new service is the idea that couples can try it for free. A couple can go to www.WiredWedding.com, and set up a free full-featured website for a ten day trial period". After that, if the couple likes their website, they can choose to make a payment that will allow the site to stay active for 18 months. Because the service does not require costly custom web design, WiredWedding.com can keep the price low. A custom website with this many features could cost well over $1000, plus the additional cost of a domain name and hosting. But, because WiredWedding.com sites do not require custom design efforts, the company is able to offer an 18 month website for $149, including hosting and a custom web address.

With most information migrating to the internet today, its no surprise that weddings are following that trend. Luckily, new services like WiredWedding.com are making it easier than ever for people to put their weddings on the web.
