Wedding maps are such a gift to out of town guests. I went to a wedding one time that was across the country, booked my hotel, and after the reception had a $50 cab ride back to my hotel due to not knowing how far I actually was from the wedding locations. This was very frustrating for me, and navigating a new city can make anyone a bit nervous. So more and more brides are including wedding maps with their invitations, and/or wedding websites. So far the only way to create one is either to go to a site like google maps for a map that is too technical looking, draw a crude one yourself, or hire a designer/illustrator to create a beautiful custom one for you. Well I found a great site www.weddingmapper.com that lets you create maps for all your wedding locations online. You simply type in your area (Vancouver BC) then provide the names of each of your wedding locations. For example on my map below I chose Stanley Park Chapel and Terminal City Club for the ceremony and reception. The website automatically found both sites, and placed cute icons (there are several to choose from) to show guests where they are located. I even added a hotel location and the Airport. After you take a few minutes to create your map, you can then email it, print it, or place it on your website. Click on the link below to view the one we made.
