The snow is falling, the holidays are around the corner, and snuggling with your sweetie with a cup of hot cocoa is a romantic and lovely way to spend an evening.  Well, the cozy feeling that winter brings can easily transpire into your wedding theme.  Have a winter wonderland event with subtle snowflake decor such as monochromatic white table settings with just a sparkle of snowflake confetti or by including a winter motif in your invitations, wedding cake, and other decorations.  Not only will the wintry silver and white wonderfully capture such a romantic season, it will also be unbelievably beautiful and timeless.

We often recommend to couples that setting up a wedding website is a great way to keep their family and friends updated on all of their wedding details.  Often times you don’t have all your plans finalized when you send out your save-the-date so it’s easy to just put in your website address so guests know to check back as the date nears for all the latest and greatest.   It is also a wonderful way to display photos, share how you met each other and let your guests, get to know each of you better. 

There certainly are lots of sites to choose from and most have packages or offer options you can upgrade to like your own personal domain or keepsake CD of your site.  The Knot and Wedding Channel let you set up one for free if you join their site and then you can pay to upgrade.  The benefits of joining these sites is that you have lots of wedding planning information at your fingertips so they are certainly worth checking out.  Wedsite is 100% flash based, highly customizable and has a special going on right now.  If you want to do a little competitive shopping then try WeddingWebsites.com.  They provide you with information on a number of wedding websites so that you can compare pricing, packages and services, and also read customer reviews.  New to the scene is Shutterfly.  Known for online photo sharing and storage, they are now offering their customers the opportunity to create their own website, whether for your wedding or other occasion.  Of course if you are not a member, you can sign up for free.

A wedding website could make the perfect engagement or early wedding gift should you be in need of an idea!
