 Three tools for keeping  
 wedding guests informed 
 Weddings  give couples  an  opportunity  
 to share the joy of joining  
 their lives together with a  
 host of friends and family members.  
 Guests liven up the party and help  
 make the celebration that much more  
 memorable. 
 No matter how big or how small the  
 guest list, keeping guests informed of  
 what’s happening is a courtesy couples  
 can provide. 
 Save-the-date announcements 
 Save-the-date announcements have  
 become an increasingly popular component  
 of wedding planning. Instead  
 of waiting on the wedding invitation,  
 which traditionally arrives one or two  
 months prior to the event, save-thedate  
 cards provide guests with an advanced  
 advertisement of the celebration  
 to  come.  According  toShutterfl y,  
 it’s customary to send save-the-date  
 notes around six months before the  
 wedding. For a destination wedding,  
 which will require extra travel plans,  
 advanced notice can be helpful. 
 Wedding website 
 Couples are increasingly embracing  
 technology as they plan their weddings.  
 Brides  magazine  states  that,  during  
 the typical 15-month engagement period, 
  48 percent of couples will launch  
 a wedding website. A wedding website  
 is a versatile tool that can help answer  
 questions that guests may have. The  
 website can spell out specifi cs,  including  
 dress code, whether children are invited, 
  the names of wedding party participants, 
   overnight  accommodations,  
 transportation providers, and even restaurants  
 near the hotel for a quick bite  
 between ceremony and reception.  Wedding  
 websites  also  can be used  as  fun  
 ways to keep guests engaged. 
 Video conferencing apps 
 As the world continues to adapt in  
 the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic,  
 video conferencing applications like  
 Facetime, Zoom and Microsoft Teams  
 enable people involved in the planning  
 process to routinely “gather”  
 and go over details about the wedding,  
 helping to limit in-person meetings  
 as much  as  possible.  These  apps  also  
 can prove invaluable when conferring  
 with wedding vendors.
