How would one set this up technically? Just one .mobi domain name and use subdomains for every couple? If using wordpress that would be a lot of extra wordpress installs right? Or is there any simple and customizable script for this? |

You'll set up a .mobi or .com and have subdomains, each subs will have WP installed with the plugin you have choosen to render the mobile site. In my opinion, it's better to have a non-WP plug mobile site if you have many clients to host. Coded mobile sites allows you to duplicate mobile themes with small customization and upload to the subdirectory, ready in minutes. That's what I plan to do. By the way, it's also possible to duplicate an entire WP site with backup plugins and re-install on all subdomains in minutes, but still have to do some work. | |

I don't know if anyone mentioned it but another idea is to partner with the suppliers of these small giveaways you get if the wedding is over. For example they will print a QR code on the card or small box of candy. They will get customers and you can maybe get a percentage of the order. Just some quick thinking. Some of you probably have some more ideas |

Quentin & Will, Thanks for vote of approval. From memory the rings image is 320x320. I've only done the home page mock up and trial in Mobilizer. What I haven't done is testing in actual phones. I'm interested in Will's concern about image resizing in different machines. Will, why would a menu background image be anymore problematic than a header logo? Or, is the logo a potential problem as well? Is there a (relatively) safe minimum size? btw do we try to avoid .png? |

That's exactly what I was thinking, Mark. I belong to a BMI networking group - most of the other chapters have photographers in them too - and most of them wouldn't have a clue how to implement this, but could upsell on it and not even necessarily need to disclose that they are subcontracting that out to me. Double thumbs up! Great idea Quentin! |

Very nice! Can you make the background pic "auto-stretch"? 100% - auto?? This way it will work on all phones. Same goes for logo - on WP Mobile Pro the logo is fixed and looks great on an iphone, but terrible on everything else with smaller screens unfortunately as it couses frames to fire. Why should we avoid .png? It renders tranparent and is of smaller size of a jpeg (mostly). | |

I love the idea and the mock up is beautiful. I like the idea of it replacing the traditional invitation as long as the customer knows that everyone they are inviting has a mobile phone. Even if Grandma doesn't have one it might be cheaper to just mail one to her. I could see this being marketed to wedding venue's, wedding planners, wedding photographers as an add-on to their service, You could easily target engaged couples directly through Facebook Ads. I just looked and there are 2,256,840 people who are engaged. Just setup a quick website with examples and place your ad on Facebook. As far as pricing goes, I might be inclined to start the price at around $299 - $399. Of course, I've seen people selling businesses these mobile websites for $500+. I'd factor in that It saves the Bride and Groom a lot of time and possibly money. I can remember trying to cut costs on printing invitations for my wedding and doing it myself and I guarantee I spent at least a week locating the invitations I wanted to use, then setting up the template on my computer, the printer jammed and ruined some invitations that I had spent at least $100 on. Purchased 100 Stamps. Purchased address labels, Printed up address labels. Ran out of ink, purchased more. Ugh! This is a much better idea. Just send out a group message containing your mobile wedding invitation and your done. You have all your friends and families phone numbers already in your phone. Wish mobile had been more popular in 2005. Its amazing how much it has advanced in such a short period of time. |

Sunburn are you asking the Wedding couple what vendors they are using then calling that vendor and asking if they would like to be a sponsor for a mobile wedding invitation? Or are you going directly to the vendor first and negotiating that for each mobile wedding invitation you create they'll be added as a sponsor? I might be making this harder than it is.

If people want to go back to the site, all they have to do is revisit the text and click on the link. Since it is a wedding invitation , I doubt anybody will be deleting the text. | |

Just checking to see if there is a mobile template for sale for weddings? If I wanted to hire a freelancer to design a template that I could just modify myself where would anyone recommend finding a good freelancer that could do this?

I do weddings for a living and this looks like a ok idea but i just can not see this as something any good wedding or bride will use. I work with brides everyday and they all spend a lot of money of rsvp cards or other items they send out. Doing it with a cell phone is just not something i think many will want to do it is to informal and low end. Most brides want to look at their wedding as a big event not a low end item that is sent out with a cell phone. I even asked a bride today about this and it was a flat out no way. When they are spending 10 to 40k l on the wedding the rsvp is not going to be on a cell phone. Most of them all use Facebook to talk with their friends and give more wedding info. |

1. When you are early to market there is lots of resistance. It's really easy to be talked out of a great idea, only to watch in amazement as everyone suddenly comes to believe that it's the bees knees... AFTER you've thrown in the towel. 2. $10-$40K. This is the the fat center of the wedding bell curve. It is not where you will find most early adopters. They are on the fringes. They are either broke, bohemian & creative (the all-mobile wedding: pivoting off of Facebook with mobile video, audio, and stills); or they are well-to-do and love their expensive toys - which allow them the freedom to do something new, unique, & interesting (the video broadcast wedding - available on smart devices... of course). 3. Facebook - half of all users log onto Facebook on their mobile device... this number is growing - not shrinking. Mobile optimized, unique, and well-designed web sites will increasingly flourish in every social arena going forward. And lastly, the iphone is a relatively new device (5-year anniversary just ahead)... as are it's 3g & 4g competitors. Ten years from now college graduates will have grown up with a smart phone being as ubiquitous to their childhood as cell phones were to their parents, and cordless phones were to their grandparents. Things are changing very rapidly. We can only speculate how this will all shake out - but personal mobile devices of some kind will clearly be at the center of everything that we do going forward for at least another 5 to 10 years. After that it may be implants... who knows. Weddings are fun, emotional, and social... a perfect fit for the immediacy of the mobile market. You can sit back and watch (always fun), or you can be part of the action as this all unfolds and stake your claim as best you can. As an aside, one of my fondest memories as a kid was watching my grandparents use their old hand-cranked wall phone - it was sooo outdated compared to my parents rotary phone! A second aside: we have a costume shop and we did a special promotion with a local movie theater for the premier of Alice in Wonderland. Big production, big expense. We are talking a dozen killer costumes and staff to wear them. Going in we envisioned people wanting their pictures taken with the characters, so we brought several photographers with video and still cameras. As soon as the doors were opened, people immediately gathered around our characters... and started snapping pictures with their cell phones! I totally cracked up, so much for supplying photographers. Our mindset was stuck in the past and had just been upgraded suddenly by reality itself. So... my advice is to get out there and see what's real in your world... your market. | |

Here is another niche for pretty much the same thing. I live in Texas and we have a very large Hispanic population. One of the biggest days for a young girl is her 15th birthday celebration or quincinera. This very much the same set up as a wedding. They get sponsors to help with costs, rent churches and have dances. Big party. There are shops in my town that all they do is sell or rent quincinera dresses. I am headed out to one of them this afternoon to see what they think. Working on a referral program for the shop. |

I am going to be giving them a $50 finders fee if their customer buys my product. I am going to charge $300 for an invitation, so I will clear $250. This is for a 3 page max site. Only a one month site, unless they want to go for $50 more. I have three strong leads right now. They are just working on getting the sponsor money. Rodney | |

I use to work in the wedding industry for a big site that use to get 10,000 a day in traffic. This is a brilliant idea and i think it will work well. Its all about marketing this and possibly getting in partnership with some large companies, however they might rip off the idea and do it themselves. I think there might be a better strategy.

How about you look in the wedding announcements of the newspaper, look up and address for the mother and father of the bride, craft them a nice letter with a QR code or 'text to' that links them to your sample page. Give them your email and phone number so they can ask questions and tell them the many cool things a mobile wedding website can do for them. (Directions, picture slideshow, our story, registered at, and so on) Mail 100 letters at about 75cents per piece, first class stamp included. Get 10 responses, 4 to 5 sales, and make $1000 to $1500 in profit. I'm gonna try this. Hopefully I can find plenty of online announcements within a 300 mile radius. |

I already do something similair like this for companies in the B2B. Bigger money I send out personal invitations to their prospect with a QR code on it and only a QR code. This triggers the prospects since we all will stay curious as humans The QR code lands on a mobile landingpage with a detailed offer/message. This way the sender stands out from the crowd. The wedding invitation could be just like that. 60-80 cents for a card to send out and you can bulk upload the adresses to most postcard providers and still put a normal www as well... mobile also does show up on a desktop and even granny goes on the internet. BTW this is one of the personal invitations I send out to a client and its VERY personal to haha Sorry, but it's in dutch. But you can still scan the QR right.Do so and you'll understand why this became a client for BIG bucks! But you do need to understand dutch Maybe Google translate will do a proper job! BTW, I used the logo from the receiver and NOT from the sender. That really triggers Their are to many options in marketing today. If you really want you can invent a NEW and EXITING new business per day Hope you all like the knowledge. I believe in sharing and the receiving will follow or not. And you can see the QR code right? And its in a picture? Where can you upload pictures? Everywhere! Hope that teaches you all something to. "Most people stop thinking about solutions ones they found one that works. But never forget, today is tomorrows past" |
