Tech friendly weddings are the new norm in today's wedding world. Here are our top 5 tips for bringing your wedding into the 21st century!
#1 The Hashtag
Your wedding guests can be everywhere at once by using a hashtag to group your wedding photos on Instagram. This will save everyone time and frustration emailing photos after the wedding. Make your hashtag known by placing it on the ceremony program, adding it to the escort cards, include a note on the table number, and print up business cards with the hashtag and have them handed out at the bar when guests arrive.

#2 Wedding Websites
For green weddings, you must have a wedding website. This will eliminate excess paper, printing, and mailing. Plus, its is a great way to collect RSVP, email addresses, as well as provide a breakdown of all the important details you want your guests to be aware of. You can list everything including accommodations, registry location(s), your personal love story, pictures, your bridal party, etc. An added bonus is that there are plenty of free websites for you to use, like MyWedding.com, featured above. Now that is a budget friendly option!

#4 Charging Stations
Nothing is more frustrating to your guests than a dead phone; it is their camera, video camera, and lifeline to baby sitters, friends, and other guests at the wedding. Have fun with the charging station table so its also a fun place to socialize (and don't forget to put a sign up with your wedding hashtag).
#5 Downloadable Wedding Favors
Lets face it, nobody actually wants the little candle holder etched with your wedding date. Offer a fun downloadable favor such as an iTunes gift. You can program the favor, possibly your wedding song, to be emailed to your guests the day of your wedding day. Place a thoughtfully worded note on your escort cards to, directing your guests to check their email for your e-favor. Your guests will appreciate not having to balance favors on top of coats, purses, and phones when the reception is over. AND, if you used a wedding website for RSVP you already have everyone's email address. Here is a great article to talk you through iTunes wedding favors.
