What is a Wedding Map?
A Wedding Mapper wedding map is an interactive and personalized guide to your wedding that shows your guests and vendors where and when everything is taking place for your big day and weekend.
What can be included on my wedding map?
Add markers for your ceremony and reception venues, rehearsal dinner, guest hotel accommodations, bridesmaid and groomsmen outings and much more.
Play the role of local tour guide and show all of your guests why the area is important to you by adding your favorite restaurants, the spot where you got engaged, local attractions and all of the other places that make your wedding destination special!
When should I start my wedding map?
Ideally you should start creating your wedding map in the beginning of the planning process when you are looking for venues. You can map out all of the options to see how everything looks, get driving directions to each venue, and take photos of the venue during site visits.
You can include photos of all venues on your map to help you decide your ultimate locations. Once you have your ceremony and reception site picked, you can start adding in hotel accommodations, favorite restaurants, local attractions and all of the other places that make your wedding map unique to you!
How can I share my wedding map?
It's easy. Here are a few ways:
- Email your wedding map link to your guests
- Include your wedding map in you invitations
- Embed your map into your wedding website
- Link to your wedding map from your wedding website
What can my guests do with my wedding map?
Guests can use your map to easily figure out where they need to be an how to get there. They can print driving directions to any venue from anywhere with ease.
Your wedding map is also a great resource to help your guests plan their itinerary. They can easily make restaurant reservations (based on your suggestions) and explore your favorite parts of town while there is some down time. This saves you the effort of coming up with "time fillers" for individual groups of people.
Whether your guests live around the corner or across the country, your wedding map shows why you chose to get married in this special place!
What happens after my wedding?
Share your wedding information with other couples
- 7 weeks after your wedding we will display your wedding information in our "Local Wedding Areas" section so it can be used as a resource for other brides in the planning process. We will email you about this before anything is displayed to the public. You can easily edit this information to hide any information that you do not want the general public to see (we automatically remove anything labeled as a "Residence" or "Home"). You also have the option to make your information anonymous or remove it completely from the site.
Provide reviews and ratings
- We'd love your feedback on your overall wedding experience as well as your experience with local venues and vendors. After your wedding you can rate and review the venues and vendors that you used. This feedback about local venues and vendors is very helpful for future brides going through the planning process.
Add photos
- Wedding photos can be added after the wedding so that your wedding information gives a complete picture of your big day. Share your wedding photos as well as special photos of your venue, flowers, dresses, caterer, cake, etc that would be inspirational for other brides in the planning process.
