We are sending a press release out tomorrow suggesting that everyone considers having a Chief Twitter in their wedding party - What do you think? We'd love hear your views.
One of the many challenges when getting hitched is who to invite and who not. After you've invited all your family, and all your partner's family, it starts getting a bit tricky. Do you invite your old school mates who you haven't seen for ages but are your friends on Facebook? What about work colleagues, if you invite one then don't you have to invite the whole gang? Now there is a free and easy way to ensure that all the people you care about and who care for you can share your big day with you.
This age-old problem has found a modern answer with the appointment of a new key role in the wedding party. Alongside your Best Man and Bridesmaids make sure you ask someone to be your Chief Twitter. Their role is to keep everyone who can't be at your wedding up to date with what's happening via short Twitter messages (they are all less than 140 characters long). These messages will paint a picture of the wedding day for everyone following you. The main elements of the new Chief Twitter role are:
- Register an address for your wedding on Twitter, for example tomhelen220809
- Email your virtual guests with the address so they can follow along on the day
- Frequently update your wedding Twitter during the big day so everyone knows when you've arrived at the church and when you've said I do.
- Read out any messages of good luck that have been sent back at the wedding breakfast by the Chief Twitter.
Picking the right person to be your Chief Twitter is essential. Pick someone comfortable with technology and who always has something to say. Great Aunt Maude may not be the right person for this role!
