The lead-up to the wedding is always a popular topic for everyone from the happy couple to distant relatives – however, what exactly happens after the wedding?
While the honeymoon is certainly a highlight of post-wedding activities, many couples easily become overwhelmed by all of the “administration” work that must be done once the ceremony is over and the reception has wrapped up. From thank you notes for all of the wedding presents to gifts that are given to the bridal party, it seems like there’s no end to all of the minor details that need to be taken care of after a wedding.
Luckily, planning your wedding online can make all of this a lot more simple – and here’s how:
Break Out the Spreadsheet
If you've joined up with a wedding planning site, you'll find that there's plenty of advice and space for logging in who gave you which present – and this is essential when it comes to writing those endless thank you notes! However, if you haven't joined up with a wedding planning website, you can do a little DYI planning by using an Excel spreadsheet to track who gave you which presents. It's a simply way to keep track of an otherwise large task, and you can bet that the chance of mix-ups occurring will be zilch! Get your honey involved by having him read out the name on each present (like that cute wedding hoodie), or make notes while you open up your wedding gifts.
Give Gifts Through a Website
Haven't yet given gifts to your bridal party, the mother of the bride and the flower girl as thanks for all of their hard work? Enlist the aid of a website that sells trendy wedding gear, like wedding shirts and favors. Dazzling rhinestone T-shirts are an increasingly popular gift for those involved in your wedding, as personalized T-shirts are the height of the season's fun and flirty fashion. For groomsmen, websites that sell personalized beer glasses, flasks and other guy-friendly items offer the perfect way to give gifts while keeping track of large orders. While you are at it, why not keep yourself in the celebration spirit with a Just Married T-shirt to wear on your honeymoon.
For a Special Touch
If you hired a photographer for your special day, then you'll likely be able to see sample pictures online ( with you and your bridesmaids in their shirts) before you order the ones you like for your wedding album. Instead of keeping these memories to yourself and your sweet, why not give everyone who came to your wedding the chance to order a wedding album of their own? Simply send your log-in name and the password to your wedding guest list, and they'll instantly have access to all of the proofs of the wedding photos. Then each guest can order as many or as few pictures as they'd like; after all, everyone should have the opportunity to share in your happiness from that night!
