No matter where you’re getting married or how many guests will join you on your day, creating a wedding web site will be helpful in communicating necessary information to everyone. Here’s some tips on what to include:

• Your registry information~Although a number of traditional etiquette rules have been bent over the past few years, it is still not appropriate to add where you’re registered to your wedding invitation or save the date. You can, however, list this information on your web site.
• Transportation information~Your out-of-town guests will appreciate knowing which airport to fly into, how to get from the airport to your wedding location and/or their hotel and if you’re providing any transportation to and from the ceremony and reception.
• Lodging and hotel information~Offering ideas for lodging accommodations will be appreciated. Be sure to list a few different options and price points and describe a bit about the facility and where it is in relation to your ceremony and/or reception location.
• RSVP~You may not need it at the time you create your site (hopefully just after you decide on a date and location), but etiquette these days allows you to collect RSVPs on-line and if you choose do so, there’s no better place than on your web site.
• Tips~If you’re getting married in Colorado, be sure to alert your guests to the challenges (if we can really call them that) such as our hot sun, altitude and dry climate. This information will be necessary for young and old alike.
• Fun bits~Keep in mind that inevitably each guest will know one of you more than the other. Take advantage of the site to share a bit about yourselves, how you got engaged, the latest developments in your plans, bits and pieces about your wedding party, whatever fun snippits you think might be of interest.

If you haven’t already created a site, Wedding Wire and Wedding Paper Divas are just a couple of many companies that offer free sites and easy set-up. Now, go forth and create!

The racks and racks of paint chip cards can be a wonderful resource for determining the colors to guide the look and feel of your Colorado wedding. weA trip to your local hardware or paint store should be a first stop in the planning process. Whether you choose flax, graphite or shore, having  a paint chip will be useful as you make plans.

And be sure to grab a few extra of your favorite(s)–one for your purse or wallet, one for your best friend, sister or mother and one for your planning binder or notebook.
