"Meet Our Wedding Party" page on website

I agree with Whitney B.

I just wrote their names and who they are to us. Simple wording like my name. Maid of honor her name bride sister

We made ours funny and sentimental. I didn't think anyone would read it, but I've had a lot of kind comments from people who did. And it made all my bridesmaids cry...even the groomsmen seemed touched by the kind words. They sacrifice so much to give us a great wedding and these words are such a small token of our enormous gratitude! www.theknot/us/eaton

I put how/where we met, how long we've known each other, and a little bit about the memories we have together. At the end I put something about how grateful I am to have that person in my life. It was 3-4 sentences tops.

@laurak- I'm with you! I love reading people's wedding websites, it makes me sad when I get a save the date and there's no link to a website. I've looked at all my friends websites multiple times. I love seeing the wedding party and looking at where the couple is registered. I haven't asked my BP yet but when I do I will definitely put cute pictures and descriptions on our website. I've already made a couple of the girls I'm planning on asking take pics with me for the website if I knew we didn't have a recent photo together

I wouldn't bother honestly. They basically all sound the same and I don't think as many people even go to the website as you think or hope.

I also am in the faction that likes reading people's wedding websites. We had an intro page for our wedding party because our families and friend groups are from different continents and we thought some people might enjoy having a little background on who everyone in the wedding is, so they weren't just a bunch of strange faces walking down the aisle! We kept it short, had a pic of each, their names, how we know each of them, and a nice fact or two about each of them. I have no idea how many people actually checked out the page but I enjoyed writing it. I certainly don't think it is necessary but if you have the time to write it I think they are nice.

People will read it... just not everyone you invite. Usually the females around your age are the only ones that are going to care. If you need ideas you can always look at random wedding pages on Wedding Wire or the Knot (st lot of people don't keep passwords on theirs). Whatever you write, probably a good idea to get the okay from the person you are writing about. I would keep it around 3 sentences.. don't want to bore people.

Thank you all so much for your input. I'm probably going to to go ahead and do it, even if nobody else reads I know that our wedding party will appreciate it and it's really not going to take much of my time! I appreciate all the input!

I think it's nice! How you met and maybe a fact or two they won't mind being shared

I think it's makes them feel appreciated and part of the event!

This is an updated version of "meet the wedding party" info of the late 80s/early 90s. Instead of being on a wedding web page, this vital intel was placed inside the wedding program where no guest could avoid it. After the 4th description of Buffy Bridesmaid and Bonnie Bride played hopscotch and Barbie dolls together all their lives and are BFFs, it gets tedious. The groom's is equally boring. The Groom and Best man were Frat bros and got tanked together. Skip it. Just introduce the nice folks of your BP at the reception.

I did this and actually got comments on how people loved the little stories about my relationship with each of them. Most were something stupid like "she was my roommate in college" and then some weird fact about the both of us.

I just put their first name and how I knew them. Nothing too personal or detailed since most will skip it

We plan on asking or Wedding party whether or not they want a profile. If so, we are going to have 2-3 sentences to express how they know us and how long. Personally, I always learning about the couples VIPs when viewing wedding pages. Even if people don't, I think it would be a neat feature for FH and I.

I'm with you, Laura! I love reading all the details my friends and family put on their wedding websites!

I guess I'm in the minority that I like looking at wedding websites...

Personally, I think that it's a fabulous idea. I'm probably going to do something similar. It doesn't have to be super long, but a little spiel would be cute. And even if no one reads them but me and my bridal party, I still think it will be a fun addition. If you like it, go for it. It's your wedding, you get to be a little extra if you want.

Hahaha literally same exact thing for me. I put work into all 7 of my BP, then when I asked him if he could do the same for his, it started as a big no...and then he asked if he can write anything he wanted....so I mistakingly said "of course!"....I quickly regretted that after I saw the first one and decided no bios haha
