From live-streamed ceremonies to custom hashtags, tech now plays a big role in weddings. Here’s how to make it enhance—not distract from—the day.
1) Livestreaming
- Virtual guests: Platforms like Zoom or YouTube allow faraway family to tune in.
- Equipment: Pro videographers or tripod setups—test Wi-Fi ahead.
- Privacy: Use password protection for links.
2) Apps & Communication
- Wedding websites: Share schedules, maps, and FAQs.
- Guest apps: Digital RSVPs, group chats, and push notifications.
- QR codes: Easy access to menus, programs, or seating.
3) Social Media
- Hashtags: Unify guest posts.
- Photo-sharing apps: Collect candid shots in one place.
- Unplugged moments: Balance tech with intentional no-phone zones.
4) Guest Accessibility
- Closed captions: Help older or hard-of-hearing guests follow livestreams.
- Recorded video: Share later with those who miss the moment.
