Wedding and RSVP Website

Our wedding website was a really fun project that Jesse and I tackled 100% together. We spent a Saturday in July working on the design, layout, and all of the features.

The most important feature was the RSVP... and something we had been brainstorming about for a while. Jesse was the mastermind behind the RSVP form, and the best solution for us was to embed a form that was connected to a Google Docs spreadsheet. So now, when anyone submits an RSVP, Jesse and I both get an email letting us know. It's also connected to our handy "guestometre" which tabulates our running total. AMAZING!!

Here are some other fun features of the site:

• informs guests of more specific wedding details
• asks (begs) guests to submit photos of themselves for our wedding-related photo projects
• includes some other important info like directions, accommodations, parking info, registry, etc. etc.

Oh and we went with Wordpress instead of one of those prefab wedding websites. We just couldn't find one that didn't have cheesy photos/backgrounds/layouts/AUTOMATIC MUSIC PLAYING (gross).

I'll share some screen shots later tonight.

PS I'm bursting with lots of fun wedding-related projects, so hopefully I can increase the posting in the next couple weeks.
