You decided on your wedding guest list in "The Basics". Now it's time to spread the word!

Deciding how you're going to inform everyone on your guest list about your wedding - in a simple, efficient AND affordable way is not just about invites or save-the-dates. Learn how to chose between wedding invitations and programs ideas so that you'll save money and keep things simple.

But first, make sure you've completed everything in the The Basics; this is the foundation of wedding planning and all of those decisions will dictate the style and budget you have for spreading the word about your wedding. If you're already done with The Basics, here's what you need to think about to Spread the Word.

• Invitation design and selection
• Invitation wording
• Wedding websites
• Wedding programs
• Wedding registry

Here's how The K.i.s.s Wedding Guide helps you make those decisions in way that will help you save money and stress without even feeling like you're compromising on the things that matter to you.

Invitation design and selection

Choosing your invitations is one of the funnest parts of wedding planning. It' also a really smart way to get ideas for a theme.

This is something I suggest you do in the K.i.s.s Wedding Guide. It works because if you look at invites BEFORE you buy you'll get a sense of what themes might end up leading to high cost invites. If you find something you like for less, then sometimes it makes sense to base your theme on that.

Some people think that the invites are as important as the meal, and will go all out with engraved invites or spend whatever they have to get what they want. Others don't really care. They want somethin nice, but they're not going to be spending a big part of their budget on this. That's what the S.S.S. Method is all about, and K.i.s.s Guide gives you some great ideas to help you decide how to splurge, save or scrimp on your invites (and everything else related to your wedding).

Invitation Wording

Deciding what your invite says can be as easy as going with whatever it is that's recommended when buying your invitations.

Other times, it can be more complicated. For instance, what if you're not actually getting "married" and are opting for a committment ceremony. Or, maybe you both have 2 (or more) sets of parents, or what if you're having a beach wedding...do you want the invites to sound beach'y? And finally, who's doing the invite? You, the brides' parents, the grooms' parents, or everyone - and how you do you make that clear on the invites?

The K.i.s.s Wedding Guide gives several examples which are a great starting off point. Alternately, you can go to a place like Invitation Consultants where you can get a TON of ideas to help you out.

Wedding Website

A wedding website is not just a cheesy outlet to promote your love. There are a lot of practical reasons to get a wedding website including saving money on invites - YEP... getting a wedding website will actually help you save money on invites because all that money you might spend on directions or travel info can now be put on your website instead. You can just send that info by snail mail to family members and friends who might not be computer savvy.

Let me help you decide where you should create your wedding website with my reviews of the top providers online.

Wedding Programs

Wedding programs are one of those things that drive people crazy or is something that some people don't even think twice about. I for instance, didn't bother with the programs. But, I have talked to many people who spent countless hours trying to put their programs together and wouldn't have considered doing it any other way.

Wedding Registry

One of the things people find confusing is how to spread the word to your wedding guest list about the wedding registry. The simple answer is this - go the traditional route on this one. Let your maids and family tell people.

Have you ever thought about some alternatives to common wedding registries? The honeymoon gift registry is one of the more obvious alternatives, but there are many others. I talk about each one of them in the K.i.s.s Wedding Guide.
