Being away from family and deployments add challenges for troops planning their wedding. Internet wedding planning resources may help.
EDWARDS, Calif., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine planning your wedding while your fiance is half-way around the world for the entire year leading up to your ceremony. Your budget is small and communication is limited to the occasional email. Additionally, both your family and your fiance's family are from different parts of the country.
This problem is faced everyday by young military couples stationed around the world. How do you coordinate plans with your fiance? How do you spread the word about wedding details to guests located around the country? Many couples are turning to the internet for help.
The current generation of marrying couples is more tech savvy than ever. A recent study shows 77% of couples are now using the internet to help plan their wedding and the annual online wedding market has surpassed $7.9B. Websites like theKnot.com and MarthaStewart.com provide all the information a couple needs about etiquette, wedding cakes, wedding dresses, etc. There are also websites where brides and grooms can buy wedding favors, attendant gifts, and wedding invitations all from the comfort of their home. The next logical step is to use the internet to communicate information to guests such as event information, directions, accommodation information, gift registry links, and even let guests RSVP online.
One company that provides this online capability is trying to help military couples cope with their unique wedding planning challenges.
OurWeddingPlus.com, an online retailer of wedding websites and wedding invitations, is providing military couples free access to their premium wedding website service through February 2008.
OurWeddingPlus.com gives couples the ability to easily create their own website for their wedding. The couple's website can include a wealth of information for guests, accessible anytime via the internet.

"Our military personnel have made great sacrifices for our country and spend significant amounts of time away from their loved ones," said Rhonda Pullis, Vice President of OurWeddingPlus. "We hope the use of a wedding website will help them with the planning process and communication." According to Rhonda, "a wedding website is a great tool for military personnel and their fiances to communicate with their wedding guests who are typically spread all around the country. We hope our services will help our deployed troops stay engaged in the planning process."
