Two Websites for Two Events?

Hello! I'm having a small wedding in Boulder, CO in summer 2022, and then a larger reception for family in NJ in the fall. I want to have 1 wedding website to make it easier for me to manage, but I'm worried people for the NJ event, who are not invited to CO, will get confused with the information and think they're invited to CO as well. I definitely want to have a website with info for those coming to CO because most will be out of town and will want info on accommodations. Those going to NJ are almost all local so I don't technically need a website for that event. Should I have my website just for the CO event? I will also add that most people coming to the NJ event are older and will use an RSVP card instead of the website to RSVP anyway so I don't need it for that... I would only want the site to inform them of my registry. Please help! Just one website for CO? Or one for each event (assuming I'd use two different platforms for that)?

Since not everyone is invited to both, I would either just have a website for the CO event or 1 for each. You're probably fine with just the one for the CO event.

Thank you Hannah! I was thinking of just having one as well, since my mom doesn't think most NJ invitees would use it. What would be the best way to inform the NJ attendees of my registry though? I've read it's tacky to put registry info on the invite

Registry info is given word of mouth when asked or listed on website. You are correct it does not go on invites.

As Michelle said, I would just leave it as word of mouth. However, I'm from NJ and the vast majority of people tend to give cash as a wedding gift. I've rarely seen gifts at weddings, and at my wedding only 1 person gave a physical gift.

That's great to know! Yes, at family's weddings I've attended in NJ everyone brought a check. I'm not having a shower either so I hope people don't mail me household items I don't need much of (my registry will have like 2 things on it and will essentially say "we'd prefer cash to buy a new home"). Thanks ladies!

Since it sounds like you don't need a website for the fall event in NJ, but it could be helpful to have one, what if you just didn't share your website with the NJ only group until after the summer event in CO had already happened, or you changed the information on the website between events, making it CO specific prior to the CO event, and then NJ specific once the CO event has passed. I'm not sure if there is enough time between those events for that to work (I would think you'd need at least 2-3 months minimum between the event dates), but just a thought.

Hi Kari! That's a great thought too... I will have several months in between them so maybe I can hold off on making the NJ site (and maybe even sending the invites out if the timing is right) until after the CO event.
thanks all!

I'm having 2 different wedding ceremonies first ceremony and reception is pretty intimate with the second ceremony and much bigger reception 2 days later. I added both Events on my website but was wondering if I could hide the first event from certain guest since not everyone is invited. Or should I just take it off? Or create another website?
