Here Blogs the Bride…

Today's Bride has so many more options than her Mother and her Grandmother did when they walked down the aisle. Today's bride has the power of the internet at her disposal. Not necessarily as a shopping source because all brides need to try before they buy, and that's not exactly what the internet provides. Today's bride can use the internet to plan, establish a bridal registry, book a honeymoon, and make other travel arrangements. Brides can also communicate and plan more effectively with friends and family across the nation or the world.

We've all seen the reality television shows about bridezillas who get so stressed out about their special day; they make everyone else's life miserable. I'm recommending a unique and ultimately positive way for brides to express themselves and even establish their own registry by developing a "blog".

A web log (or "blog") is similar to an online journal. It is largely text-based, so it's easy to update and maintain-even if you have no experience running a web site. Any type of information can be presented on a blog, from stories about a family vacation to in-depth commentary on world politics. In addition, most blogs allow visitors to post responses to blog articles or entries and leave feedback for the person running the site, known as a "blogger". Overall, a blog is a fast, easy and fun way to establish an online presence.

What's a blog going to do for today's bride to be? For one, it could help them alleviate stress by developing an online journal of the events leading up to their wedding day.

A bride blog can also provide friends and family a progress report, a glimpse into the stressed out world of planning a wedding in the words of the bride herself.

The blogging bride can also provide friends, family and co-workers with her own bridal registry. She should continue to register with area merchants and bridal shops, as well as those online retailers that promote bridal registry. Now that she's done all that she can to list them, or link them in her own personalized blog and/or website. Her own bride central…!

Today's internet savvy bride can develop her own blog/website without having a background in web design. Can you imagine announcing to your friends, family and co-workers that there's one location to find out everything they need to know about your special day, i.e., JennasWedding.com, BrendasGettingMarried.com, StevenandLucy.com, or NicholesWeddingBlog.com.

Our blogging bride can also share photos, sound bytes and more, while de-stressing in her online journal.
