Redhuck Technology News: HOW TO: Plan a DIY Wedding Using Social Media

I’m getting married next July, and being a Mashable editor, I’ve naturally attempted to use social media wherever possible when planning my wedding. Some things for the wedding have required me to go the traditional route ? picking out a venue meant actually going to see a few, and to my knowledge, there isn’t yet a way to actually taste food over the Internet. There are plenty of local
wedding vendor directories and
review sites that were helpful in locating vendors to try out, but actually checking them out in person is a must.

However, much of the wedding actually can be planned via social media and the web, especially if you take a more DIY approach and assemble bits and pieces of the event on your own. I’m taking that approach to the planning of my own wedding and have been relying on social media and web-based tools to help. In this post, I’m open sourcing my wedding planning work-flow and sharing all the tricks I’ve learned so far. Feel free to share other ideas in the comments.
