2010 Weddings Will Be Both High-Tech And Homespun
Items like handmade reception favors and wedding websites are at the top of brides’ wish lists as they plan their 2010 weddings, according to a new survey by My Wedding Workbook, the next-generation online wedding software with more than 12,000 active users.
73.6% of all brides surveyed will be using handmade or homemade items such as favors, invitations and decorations for their weddings this coming year, and 68.7% will also have a wedding website to tell their story as a couple.
In the past few years, more and more brides have come to rely on the Internet to generate ideas for their wedding as well as manage the hundreds of details associated with their wedding events. Three quarters of survey respondents regularly consult wedding websites, while 69.5% use electronic checklists, spreadsheets and wedding software and 54.9% use blogs and online forums to stay up on wedding trends, ask questions and share insights.
The popularity of save-the-date cards also points to the growing size of weddings as well as the busy lives of Americans. “Families are much more spread out across the country than they once were, so weddings are now big gatherings that require lots of advance notice and preparation,” said Kear.
