Tips for your own royal wedding website
If you have been following any news channel you will know that the royal wedding of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton will be taking place this month on April 29th. It’s going to be one of the grandest weddings around, no doubt! No wedding nowadays is complete—especially this one—without a grand website also. Take a look at theirs here. You can definitely take cues from the grandest of wedding websites around to help aid you in creating yours.
Tips for your own royal website:
1. Clearly state the couple’s name and wedding date
It goes without saying that vital information need to be posted about the wedding. The website acts as a supplementary to the invitation, and would not be complete without information about both the couple and the wedding date. Make sure full names are spelled out, front and center, and easy to read.
2. Provide information on accommodations for out-of-town guests
In this case, anyone who wishes to view the wedding procession can find a place along the 2km route from the Buckingham Palace to the church where the service is held. There is even a public google map route posted for anyone wishing to attend (real high-tech!). Obviously for us common folk, the processional isn’t usually so long and isn’t made a public occasion. However we can take cues from this: If you have out of town guests attending your wedding, ensure that details for travel arrangements, accommodations and maps are readily available should they need. It would be a pitty for important guests to stroll in late because they were lost.
3. Provide some answers to FAQs
Everyone loves a good “frequently asked questions” section to get the latest gossip and your wedding is no different. Of course, don’t spill all the beans yet, but it’s a great idea to give some fun facts to your guests. The royal wedding’s FAQ section features a whole slew of questions from details on the engagement ring to who pays for the wedding.
4. Generate some excitement
Make sure to give some hints of the wedding festivities on the site. On the royal website they have links to videos from their very own channel on youtube surrounding the wedding. One of the recent videos highlights the wedding cake designer being used to create a floral cake for the occasion. I can’t wait to see it!
Above all else, make sure your website reflects your style and wedding day. I’ll definitely be checking out this royal wedding website in the weeks to come in preparation for their big day. I hope you will too!
