One of the best\u00a0things about technology is how it makes everyday life easier. And when it comes to weddings, things are no different.<\/p>\n

Want to make a gift registry<\/a> your friends and relatives can easily access? You can do that online! Want to keep track of your guest list<\/a>? There\u2019s an app for that. But that\u2019s only the tip of the iceberg. Here\u2019s\u00a0some fresh ideas for using tech to your advantage in\u00a0planning your big day.<\/p>\n

Change the status<\/h2>\n

With so much of our lives captured online, it\u2019s no surprise some couples are actually incorporating Facebook status updates into their ceremonies, making use of those three magic little words: \u2018Is married to\u2019. It\u2019s a little cheesy, but it\u2019s a lovely way to share the day with people not there to witness your vows.<\/p>\n

Make a hash of it<\/h2>\n

If you haven\u2019t embraced the idea of a wedding hashtag yet, now is the time. You know <\/em>your guests will be uploading pics, and maybe even footage, so it makes sense to give them a hashtag to use so that everyone \u2013 including you – has an easy way to see the wonderful moments captured on the day.<\/p>\n
