I linked the hotel block information and our registry so that someone could make a hotel reservation from the app if they really wanted to. <br /><br />I really liked the privacy settings the best. <br /><br />Instead of posting a "How We Met" story, we each posted 5 obscure facts about each other. <br /><br />I posted old goofy pics of us with each member of our wedding party too.Moenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-1465289359912417922013-01-17T08:45:04.100-08:002013-01-17T08:45:04.100-08:00agreed! it was easy and looked good, but i wasn...agreed! it was easy and looked good, but i wasn't pleased with the RSVP functionality. would have been nice to have a way to integrate it into everything else we were doing. i used it almost a year ago though, so it may have improved?
