this upcoming thanksgiving weekend two of our very best friends are getting hitched. we have had the pleasure of being a part of all of the festivities and planning for the big day as my bf is one of the groomsmen and i designed all of the invitations, seating charts, table numbers, and dinner menus.
as the focus for class for the past couple of weeks has been investigating the positive and negative aspects of various websites i wanted to take a closer look at a website this couple is using to help plan their upcoming nuptials. it’s called MomentVille and you can find it at http://www.momentville.com/; here you’ll find where to sign up and customize your own wedding website to track rsvp’s, share the menu with your guests, let out-of-towners know where to stay, and advertise your wedding registry and all of your vendors. also, you can post pictures, videos, and updates leading up to your day. in addition, they have an entire directory of photographers, bakers, hairstylists, accessory vendors, dj’s, dance teachers, and anything else you might be looking for. want to know the best part? it’s free! that’s right, free. in this day and age that’s nothing short of amazing!
MomentVille is extremely easy to use with over one hundred different stylish pre-made page templates (check them out here http://www.momentville.com/themes and in the images below), no page limit, and it never expires so you can start planning well in advance. another great feature is that it allows a couple to significantly reduce the amount of paper used for their wedding as rsvp cards, registry cards, and accommodation information are all supplied digitally. if you are super concerned with the environment you can even send invitations via MomentVille and they match your customized website! along with being carbon neutral, the site allows for a speedier response from guests, and a speedier and budget friendly flow of information to the guests. i can tell you that b+a have found it very useful!
not only has MomentVille supplied a great medium for our friends to plan and inform with, but because i’m listed as a vendor has also given me some free advertising! (can’t go wrong there!) i would definitely say that overall for a site to work this well, provide an environmentally friendly option for couples, and be even remotely stylish for totally free is success in my books.
the following snap is from our friend’s site – just a little taste of how things can look…
stay tuned for upcoming pics of b+a’s invitations, menu, and more!
