Weddingbee boards

So I've been thinking about what most people do....do you print off cards with the map, hotel, activities, rsvp or are you putting everything on your wedding website--except for the invite? I know only having the invite and RSVP is what most people (aka, my mother and older family) are used to, but if I ask them to go to a wedding website I fear they will forget until it's too late to reserve a room or never go. Of course I have to consider the family (grandparents) who don't have internet and they'd need the inserts anyway.

So, after doing your invites, have you found the inserts to be of help or a waste? Is your wedding website a help or a waste?

We did not put details on inserts except for an RSVP-sized card directing people to our website.  I know people frequently check our website, so in our case it's a help.  But in our case also, the people most likely not to be internet savvy are either local or family from abroad for whom we are making all of the transportation and lodging arrangements.  I personally much prefer having info on the website b/c I'm very liable to lose any insert.  But that's just me.  If it's only a few people that you are concerned about not getting online, you could just contact them directly to make sure they ahve the information.

Also, I think it makes more sense to put maps etc in OOT welcome bags b/c I just don't see it beingl ikely that people who are travelling from far away are going to bring them in their luggage...again, that describes me and I'm projecting on the world at large :)

fizicsGirl:  HAHA see, I'm the girl who would bring her map because I'm just like that. I keep everything on my fridge for stuff like this and it alqays makes the trip somehow. I get your point though and it's a very good one--will be noted to include in the OOT bags I really hope to have!!

oracle:  I'm not worried about bulk and overwhelming them with information, I'm worried that I'll put all that time into laying out the material on my progam, printing them, paying for the extra inserts and then people just tossing them or something. I have lots of time, but this is just a thought :) THank you!

We have a wedding website and will be including a directions and accomodations insert with the invitation. The website has been helpful but there are a lot of people that do not use the internet still. I have a lot of family members that don't. I couldn't really tell you which would be more helpful in my case bc they both have been. I think it all depends on how tachnically savvy your guests are. LOL About half of mine are not.
