Info Sheets or Web site only?

We are mainly going to do most of the info via a website that we are making - the handy side of having a computer geek as the OH

For relitives who dont have internet, they will get info packs, and people can request them if they want.

Hope this helps

We're using our website to cut down on costs for invites, so we're sending out 1/3 paper invites and 2/3 e-invites. The paper invites will have a full info sheet and we will ask them to reply via the website if poss. Part of this is because my dad's really ill and if the worst happens I want to cut down on admin for my mum.

Hello

Id stick with puting most of the info on wedding path, its fab ? For those guests i knew didnt have internet access i just printed off relevant wedding path pages and sent it to them ? When i knew they were coming. Even then i think there were only 2.

Are you going to be printing OOS out for the day or are they meant to remember them/print them themselves off the site?

I am just doing info sheets, no website or anything

Thanks all for the replies.

I'll still be printing OOS as only have 45 to the day (bigger evening do) - in fact our church do an online template so we can easily print ours off! Technology eh!

Good idea about printing the pages for those who request them - will let the mothers know in case they get any requests!

I'm doing both.

A lot of our guests won't really use the internet and I find that info sheets are quite handy when you quickly need to refer to something -ie you don't have to get on the computer just to quickly check something.

Hmm never thought of putting the info on a website as opposed to information sheets. H2b has his own website so I'll ask him to tidy up the language and we'll prolly use that. Save that paper!

I've put all of our info on wedding path and tbh it's been a godsend for guests. I was able to put hyperlinks to the hotels and accomodation, airlines for example so people can see for themselves what they would get and book online.

I've found I've been able to put far more detail in as well as far more content. The majority of my guests (all but 5) are coming from over 200 miles away so they have been really appreciative of the extra info.

I printed the url on the card that my save the date magnets were mounted on, so people had plenty of time to look at accomodation etc and get early deals.

I've printed the url again on the invitations to make sure people have the opportunity to use it. It anyone wants printed information, I can just print off the pages from the site and send them those, but so far no-one has.

The people who need the sort of info that would be on an info sheet are those who live far away and these are all the very people we keep in touch with electronically anyway, so they are really au fait with the web etc

HTH

I've done both but only printing the information sheets out for people who don't have computers or will be confused by the website (people like my mum tbh).

Thanks for all the replies ?

Def will go with web site only and print pages if required!

These web pages thingies sound great - how can I set one up?
Is there a charge - and how long does it remain active?!
Do you need to techno-minded or can an IT amateur cope?!
Thanks in advance!

Mine is with www.weddingpath.co.uk and pretty easy to set up - has pages ready and you can change the style, add your own photos and text etc

PM me if you want me to send you a link to mine

Thanks Sax71 - got it! - thats really helpful.

We did info sheets only as quite a lot of out guests havent got internet access,

I'd do both.

Some guests may not have internet access and others may prefer to have the info sheet to hand to check for dates/numbers/directions etc.

We set up a wedding path website but never used it our guests seem to like the info sheet where its easy for them to check info.
