We’ve worked it out with Distinctive Directions to extend their 10% offer indefinitely. As suspected, Distinctive Directions was able to shave a little time off of their process when people provided a Wedding Mapper map.
They’ve agreed to transfer this savings back to you, reducing their already low prices even further.
So now, when you provide Distinctive Directions with your completed Wedding Mapper map they will give you a 10% discount and will take your map:

For a while now we’ve been keeping an eye out for a great design partner to help people with printing their maps. Although we are constantly striving to improve the printing capabilities of Wedding Mapper, sometimes you need an actual person to make it look right. This is especially true if you will be including your wedding map in your invitations.
Well we think we’ve found the perfect design partner in Distinctive Directions, owned and operated by Amanda Alvarado. I discovered Distinctive Directions while reading the message boards on the Knot. A lot of people who were recommending Wedding Mapper were also recommending Distinctive Directions. After speaking with Amanda at length about her work I realized that Distinctive Directions was the best company out there to create custom designs for Wedding Mapper maps. She is well known for her quality work, with excellent customer service, at great prices.

We’re putting the final touches on our press release and wanted to share some of the quotes we’ve gathered from emails, message boards, and blog comments. So far the response has been fantastic. These are all qoutes from real people. In fact these are only a fraction of all of the blog posts, comments, emails, etc. that we’ve found out there about Wedding Mapper!
Yeah!!! I love this mapper!! So easy to use and great to add to your wedding website! What a great find!
Wedding mapper has really helped me visualize where potential ceremony, reception, hotel and rehearsal dinner locations are in relation to each other. I have enjoyed brainstorming places my guests would enjoy visiting while in the city and plotting them on a map. Wedding Mapper has helped make that easy.
You just saved me so much stress from figuring out how in the world i was going to make a map. Thanks so much!!!!
OMG THIS IS AMAZING. So perfect. Thanks so much for posting this.
This is JUST was I was needing! Thanks sooo much!
OMG!!! I am in adoration of this! I love it. I have already started creating ours. Thank you sooo much!
My fiancee Carolina and I have had an excellent experience with the Wedding Mapper and think it is a great showcase of the power of Web 2.0 and Mashups. I congratulate you for putting together a killer app that can only improve with time. We can’t wait to send our friends the link as soon as all of the event dates and locations are set. It was easy to configure our wedding map and even easier to use. We recommend the Wedding Mapper to anyone getting married in the year 2007 and beyond!
But, it’s the coolest thing and I couldn’t help but share!
this is such a great site- I wish they had this a few months back before I got married! Thanks for sharing!
Wedding mapper was very useful for organizing my wedding, since many of the guests are coming from other countries, and I could manage perfectly hotel accommodations and transports. The web page is very simple to use and effective for putting all desired information in a very clear way. Very recommended.
Love it, love it, love it. I just made one and linked it to my wedding website.
I’m soooo excited thanks for sharing a professional program that is FREE YAYAYAYAYAYAY!
I’m in the early stages of using wedding mapper but already it has been such a handy resource for us and our wedding guests. I am glad that we can easily place it on our website and allow our guests to gather directions from wherever their starting point is. Handing out general directions just doesn’t cut it much of the time. So thank you for this great resource!
What a great find – thanks for sharing! Saving to favs…
OH MY GOSH!! I love this. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m off to play
My son is geting married in April and we have quite a few guests coming from USA, Canada and other parts of the UK. I found Wedding Mapper and thought it was a brilliant way to send people information in advance of their visit. It’s especially good for some guests who will be flying in just a day before and won’t have time to familiarise themselves with the area. We’ve had lots of emails back telling us how good it is and everyone especially likes the satelite views!
another awesome tool!!
omg this is great
The map maker is really cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, that is such a cool site!
I was just picking my brain about how i was going to print out maps.
This was very helpful!
THANKS A BUNCH!!!!
I can even put a link to the map on our wedding web site.
OMG…it’s awesome. Thanks so much!
This is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing!
Wedding Mapper is SWEET! Thanks Jared, sincerely… I have a few guests that are ‘home bodies’ and fear traveling from their country or city to Toronto for the wedding – so this is great as it streamlines all the necessary details visually.
Loving this. Thank you Mrs. Bee!
I started ours too – this is awesome!
Hey this map thin is pretty sweet! Thanks!
Wish I had known about this two years ago!! We used mapquest – it’s nothing like this website though!
Thank you for the links, I love the mapmaker!
OMG!!!!!! This map is great!!
That’s really cool! I love all the fun stuff you guys find!
that’s awesome! thanks for sharing!
This site rocks! Thanks Mrs. Bee…I will definitely be using this site!
that’s awesome! I love it! Thanks
This is a great find, thanks.
This is so handy! Thanks for sharing it with us!!
I have a website on Weddingmapper and LOVE it.
It is really cute and helpful. We have a lot of international guests, so it is a great way for them to be able to visualize the city.
It’s easy and only takes a couple of minutes to set up.
Wish I had know about this a few months ago.
I was lookin for a way out of drawing a map to the ceremony/reception!
omg! this is awesome!
It’s awesome! Thank you! I used it and love it!
Wedding Mapper provided a personal and interactive way of being able to connect with my guests. Maps offered through invitation companies are expensive and I get nervous at just the thought of trying to produce one myself on a computer – the wedding mapper is an effective alternative. The cute icons and interactive options help all guests feel a part of the big day before it even arrives.
OK, that is the coolest site! Awesome find!
I just want to thank you for creating such a wonderful tool. I came across this website by word of mouth, and I will definitely pass this along to my engaged friends. This product makes my life easier because it offers details, directions and a map all in one! This is a product that I would happily pay for.
Thank you!!! That is FABULOUS!!!
Thanks to everyone for all the great feedback! We’ll be putting these quotes and more on the new “What People Are Saying” page. If anyone has any other feedback please email us at feedback@weddingmapper.com. In the meantime we’ll continue to improve Wedding Mapper, making it one of the best resources for engaged couples on the Internet!
Continuing our series of Wedding Mapper “Top 10″s we’ve put together
Top 10 New York City Wedding Locations
This one is based off of this article from about.com, Top 10 NYC Wedding Locations – The Best Places to Get Married in New York.
You can see the other “Top 10″ maps on the Wedding Mapper Top 10 Lists Page.
Ok, here is the second map in our series of “Top 10″ wedding maps. You may have seen our first, “Top 10 Romantic Wedding Locations“. Now we’ve got one that is a little out of date, but interesting nonetheless.
So check out our latest map, “Tom (Cruise) & Katie’s Top 10 Pre-Wedding Moments!“.
If anyone has any ideas for other Top 10 lists that might help us get the word out about Wedding Mapper please let us know!
If you have a wedding website and you are a paying customer you now have access to two new options on the code snippet. One allows you to display the title of your map, the other allows you to display the location list.
These two enhancements came at the specific request of a customer, so hopefully others will find them useful.
We’ve just released a performance upgrade that should cause most maps to load quite a bit faster. The speed improvement will be more noticeable on maps that use a lot of images, but I would imagine almost all maps will see a significant improvement regardless.
To see for yourself check out the example map, Margaret and Peter’s Wedding Map
We’ve just changed the custom url logic around to allow people to create custom urls that do not expire. Now, if you include a number in your url the custom url will not expire.
(eg. http://www.weddingmapper.com/margartetandpeter2007)
Custom urls that do not have a number in them will still expire one month after the wedding so that future couples can get their first choice.
