WEBWIRE

BETHESDA, MD – May 1, 2009 – WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, today announced the launch of WeddingWire for Facebook, an application that lets engaged couples create a personal wedding blog within Facebook. WeddingWire for Facebook is available immediately in the Application directory at www.facebook.com.

From the engagement to the honeymoon, the application allows couples to easily share their wedding with all their friends, family and loved ones on the nation’s leading social networking site. WeddingWire for Facebook features twelve different blog categories that guide the couple through their entire wedding story. Brides and grooms-to-be can share their engagement story, introduce their wedding party, decide on the perfect wedding location, and choose where to honeymoon. Each blog post can be customized to include various styles, formats, and images.

“WeddingWire has made it simple to keep everyone up to date on wedding details within Facebook,” said Timothy Chi, Chief Executive Officer at WeddingWire. “We set out not to recreate the entire WeddingWire experience within Facebook, but rather provide engaged couples with a unique tool that leverages the power of the Facebook community.” WeddingWire for Facebook complements the full suite of tools that are available at www.WeddingWire.com, which include free wedding websites, checklists, seating charts and more.

Personal wedding blogs have grown in popularity in recent years, as brides and grooms-to-be share their joys and frustrations of the wedding planning process online. However, it can sometimes be challenging for these personal blogs to gain an initial audience. WeddingWire for Facebook provides an instant following for bloggers by taking advantage of the Facebook community, and allows their friends and family to post comments to help make all the difficult decisions.

WeddingWire for Facebook also provides access to over 100,000 local wedding vendors within the application. Engaged couples can easily search for wedding professionals, from florists to photographers, to help them plan their dream wedding. WeddingWire for Facebook provides access to vendors across the entire US, and includes detailed reviews of their services from past clients.

To download WeddingWire for Facebook, search for ‘WeddingWire’ at www.facebook.com/applications.
