The Main Event by Memory Makers Event Planning, LLC

You are probably familiar with wedding web sites and other special event web sites. The latest trend is creating a blog for your event instead of or in addition to a web site. A blog will allow you to share the planning details for your family reunion, wedding, or other event and also share photos of everything from the location to the gown. By posting regular updates, a blog allows the opportunity to write about the details of the event as they occur. By doing so, friends and family both near and far away can share the journey with you, increasing their excitement and their feeling of involvement. Creating a blog is easy. If you can write a letter, you can update a blog. Creating a blog is also free, unlike the cost of many web sites. Give it a try for your next event. You may decide to make it a permanet part of your family's communication.

If you are planning an event involving a large number of participants or guests, such as a family reunion or a wedding, you may want to create a web site or a blog as a way to keep everyone informed. Anyone with computer savvy can create a blog and you don't need much more expertise to create a simple web site. A web site or blog can include the date and location of the event, lodging information, planned activities, and much more. You can post photos, and if you are planning a wedding, registry information (which you should not include in an invitation). Guests can RSVP on the web site or blog. They can add comments as well. If you are planning a wedding, you can create a free web page at either www.weddingchannel.com or at www.theknot.com . Family and guests will appreciate the opportunity to be informed and you may generate more interest in attending your event.
