TORONTO – Planning a wedding? A new web app lets the brideand groom-to-be create a social website that connects guests witheach other before the big day. Called Weduary, the web app provides a simple way of creating amodern-looking wedding website, and allows the couple to inviteguests using Facebook. The site tells guests which of their Facebook friends will also beattending and points out people at the event who may have commoninterests and mutual friends. If a guest is attending alone, the Flirt section of the site showsother singles who will be there. "We're giving people a cheat sheet on who to meet atthese big wedding events," said Brit Morin, CEO of Brit &Co., the digital lifestyle brand behind Weduary. In addition to connecting guests, the site provides details aboutthe date and time of the wedding, hotel information, and a link tothe couple's registry. Each guest also gets their own profile. "It says which hotel they're staying at, when they arearriving to the event, their favorite story of the bride and groomand what their cell phone is," she explained. Information on the site can be useful to help guests to co-ordinatetravel plans, pitch in on registry gifts, or split accommodations. Morin said that she came up with the idea while planning her ownwedding last year. "Not only were a lot of the templates, themes and web designsa little bit dated, but we also didn't find anything that wassocial in nature," she said, adding that couples areincreasing opting for non-traditional wedding registries. "We've seen a lot of websites catering towardsinventive registries like donation registries, or registries tofund the purchase of the first house, or their honeymoon,"she explained. Morin believes the wedding industry is ripe for innovation. Her company is also working on an iPhone app that will harnessreal-time communication between other guests at weddings. Other popular wedding websites include TheKnot.com, andWeddingWire, which provide free wedding website building tools, butwithout the social component. An app called SocialTables connects with Facebook to let guests seeother guests attending the event and allows hosts to create seatingarrangements, but it is not exclusively targeted to weddings. About 70 percent of brides create a personal wedding website,according to a survey conducted last year by websites TheKnot.comand WeddingChannel.com.
