You’ve just became engaged, and now you have a wedding to plan! Soon you’ll find yourself buried under lists of potential dresses, flowers, cakes, and photographers. Perhaps you’ve decided to not use the services of a professional wedding planner, and want to plan the wedding yourself. How to make sense of it all while still finding time to commemorate this special time in your life and maintaining your sanity? Try creating a wedding blog.

Why Plan Your Wedding With a Blog?

• A blog is a unique way to organize your wedding plans. For example, as you’re browsing the web, you may come across a variety of dresses that you just can’t decide on, or are using as inspiration. You can post pictures of them all to your blog, and have your friends and family vote on which they like best. You can create categories for all of the decisions you are pondering, and be able to view them at a glance.

• A wedding blog is also a great command center. You are able to quickly update your wedding party on the status of your wedding plans. With one click, your family will be able to see how far along you have come, and can leave comments with links to helpful websites.  They can also see if the happy couple has set their wedding date yet – you know who you are!

• Blogs are completely customizable. They are a great place to upload all the impromptu photos that wouldn’t normally make it into the wedding album. Your mom, sisters, or gal pals may take some great snapshots of you trying on dresses. Perhaps you get a picture of the groom-to-be after sampling cakes with an icing mustache! The road to wedded bliss has a lot of candid moments, that you can share with everyone and store in one place.

• You can also maintain your privacy. Blog hosting sites all have excellent privacy settings. You can choose to make your blog visible to the world, your friends only, or keep it private. You might even want to save it until after the wedding, and make it available for everyone to read while you’re on your honeymoon!

However you decide to use your wedding blog, you will have a lasting testament to an incredible time in your life. You will have all your precious pre-wedding moments all in one place, creating an easy-to-read, fun look at your life as a fiancé. Above all, the number one rule of wedding blogging is to have fun with it. Planning your wedding is exciting, and your blog will be too!
