Creating an Interactive Website for Your Simcha

You have probably been seeing couples make their own wedding websites for years. As we know, a wedding website will typically list all the specifics of the affair, directions for out of town guests, gift registry information, to name just a few features. Why not create a Bar or Bat Mitzvah website? After all, your guests will need all the same information.

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah website is easy to put together and post to the web. It is easy and simple to find an affordable web template. If you want an even easier alternative to a website, you can even choose to make a Bar/Bat Mitzvah Blog for free. Just check out www.wordpress.com and www.blogger.com. These sites will allow you to sign up for free and post your Blog in a matter of moments. If you aren’t already familiar with Blogging, it is a very simple and easy skill to pick up. You can also ask your kids for help, as they very likely may know more about Blogging that you think!

Once you have your Bar or Bat Mitzvah website up and running, take some time and list all the details for travel and transportation that your guests will find helpful. You can include address, directions and photos from the hotel. For out of town guests, choices for eating and entertainment nearby the hotel will also be appreciated.

The Bar or Bat Mitzvah website is also a very tactful place to post gift registry information. You don’t want to post a hint about gifts in the Bar or Bat Mitzvah invitation, but the website will allow your guests to locate this information for themselves.

Blogs and websites are a great place to post photos. You can post images of you and your family before and after the Bar or Bat Mitzvah. After the event, you will undoubtedly have a ton more photos to post. You can also inform your guests on the website about the events at your Bar or Bat Mitzvah so they can start getting excited early on. Use your imagination and think about what will be exciting to your guests-definitely feel free to post information and links to your plans for catering and meal choices, Bar or Bat Mitzvah DJ, and photos of the venue.

Another great reason to have a website for your Bar or Bat Mitzvah is that you can email your guests, and direct them over to the site for immediate information. Also when you make an update to the site, you can instantly email all your friends and relatives and tell them to check it out.
