The perfect platform

Shikha and Shantnu, who wed in February 2009

Whenwe announced that we were getting married, we had loads of friends and relatives with questions needing answers, and we just didn’t have enough time to contact everyone. So we realized that a wedding website could be the one central place that can not only disseminate important dates and information, but also allow us to share our excitement with loved ones. We wanted the wedsite to be a reflection of our individual styles and we made sure it was well-coordinated with the colours and themes we were using for the wedding ceremony.

In this day and age of jet-set weddings, time and money are of vital importance, and most couples rarely have the luxury of either one of them. And let’s face it, while personal wedding planners can put up and organize a dream wedding, they can cost a fortune, creating a sizable dent in your budget. Besides, at times a wedding planner can be a little overbearing, making you feel like a mere spectator at your own wedding. We wanted to be a part of it and having a wedding website was an obvious answer.

We had a variety of ethnic Indian or western templates and backdrops to choose from. There was an option to make the wedsite private or public. Additionally, we had an e-invite put up on the site which was the best way to invite our loved ones across the globe. We added photos to make it convenient for guests to view the celebrations, particularly those who couldn’t make it in person. Our guest-book almost overflowed with their compliments. After all, at the end of the day or a lifetime, you want to hold memories that fill your heart with happiness, and a wedding is one such memory.
