A wedding blog? Why not !

Since the advent of blogs (France is 4th in the world in terms of the number of blogs, and 1st in terms of number of blogs per Internet user, with 2.5 million active blogs), this practice has become common.

What is a wedding blog for?

The wedding blog has multiple advantages. Besides keeping your guests informed of the progress of your wedding planning, a wedding blog usually has many practical advantages. Among the different sites offering to create your own wedding blog, we selected for you the one which seemed to give us the best compromise between price (free) / functionalities (rich) / graphics (nice): petit-mariage-entre-amis.fr

Demonstration and explanation

The Petit Mariage entre Amis site, specializing in wedding blogs (free), offers blogs featuring:

The wedding blog part

Articles are presented there dealing with important steps before and during marriage concerned (the request, the wedding rings, the dress, the caterer, the reception room for example). Of course, you are free to put whatever content you want, and talk about your meeting for example or others highlights of your married life (birth of a child ...)

The guest list

The list of guests of each spouse, classified by family within a genealogical tree, or by group (Friends for example). Each guest has his card with photo and description. Perfect, because maybe not everyone knows each other!

The geo-location module

A geolocation module allowing you to see the places and times on a map where the wedding will take place, the meal that will follow, the bachelorette party. Convenient when the family lives far away!

The wedding list can be posted on a wedding blog, and it's a great alternative to the good old "catalog" list. On Small Marriage between Friends, the Marriage List section allows you to donate money or fund one of the gifts offered, which are illustrated with photos and text.

The calendar

The part calendar gathers important dates of the marriage and takes up more or less the information presented in the geolocation part.

The profile of a wedding guest

Indicate accommodation
