Just wanted to let you all know about a few helpful resources I’ve run into recently…
Christine Dyer has recently launched a free wedding directory and community called Bridal Tweet, where brides (and grooms, too) can receive free wedding gifts and favors, create their own page, post blog listings, chat with each other in helpful forums and much more. Excellent site, Christine.
I also recently sent out my wedding invitation in electronic style (part of our effort to save paper and reduce our wedding’s carbon footprint). We used a site called Pingg, which lets you send out invitations (both electronic and printed, if you desire) for all sorts of events, including weddings. I found the interface to be a tad limiting, as I wasn’t able to enter in as much copy in the actual email invitation as I would have liked. But I’m splitting hairs a bit, and overall it did the job, plus it has a nifty online RSVP tracking system that alerts me every day as to how many RSVPs came in over the previous 24 hours. Solid job.
Finally, there’s a very cool site for the budget-conscious bride called BrideShare. It implements community features to let brides reach out to each other who might want to share wedding decorations or other wedding items, split the cost of them or resell wedding items. Great way to conserve dollars and the environment.
I encourage you to check all these resources out.
