Clever Users Find Other Uses! As yet to be confirmed rumors have been circulating, indicating that some people are using The Society Column to promote events other than weddings. Anniversaries, Birthdays, Graduations & Holes-In-One are just a few of the many examples that have been cited.

You're getting engaged, you're getting married! Congratulations.

So how do you best publicise the event? The Society Column can help.

Whether you use The Society Column to pop the question, to inform your friends when the answer is 'YES!', to invite them to the engagement party or to the wedding itself, we are here to add that special touch that will help make the day.

What we do is unique. We provide an internet doorway to your event, through a name known and respected throughout the world - The Society Column. If you, like so many others, are planning to publish your wedding on the internet, The Society Column offers a variety of ways to inform your family and friends of the events surrounding your upcoming nuptuals.

Whether you live in America, the United Kingdom or Europe, The Society Column has the service for you.

So how does it work?

The Society Column rents to you, the internet names TheSocietyColumn.us, and/or TheSocietyColumn.co.uk and/or TheSocietyColumn.eu, for your exclusive use to publicise your wedding. You choose which portal you prefer (or two, or all three), for whatever period of time you require (just the wedding, the engagement and wedding, the reception, the honeymoon...) and what level of service you require. There are four service levels to suit every taste and budget.

Level One provides a transparent link to your website. So while you may have your own personal website, ready for your wedding, called www.dianaandjackfinallygetaroundtotieingtheknot.info, that's a bit of a mouthful (or fingerful) to remember and it isn't the prettiest phrase to add to your invitations.

With level one service from The Society Column, we link from your chosen Society Column name, directly to your website. So your guests would enter, for example, TheSocietyColumn.us and be taken immediately to your own website, www.dianaandjackfinallygetaroundtotieingtheknot.info. There is no hesitation or re-direct message, just straight through to you. The cost of this option is included in the name rental fees.

Level Two is used when you have no website of your own. The Society Column provides a front page similiar to this one that contains your headline, your photos (up to 3) and your text. The cost of this option is $125, plus name rental as described below. Three changes of headline and photos are included to allow for your display of various events, ie the engagement announcement, the engagement party, the wedding, the honeymoon...the choice is yours. The colors of the pages and text for level two (and higher) service are customizable to match the color scheme of your wedding. You have the choice of displaying the current date in the masthead or having a countdown clock that shows how many days are remaining until the event.

Level Three, like level one, also provides a connection to your website, but this time first displaying The Society Column front page, as referred to above in level two. This can be set to automatically refer to your own website after a period of time, or require the reader to click to move on. The cost of this option is $195, plus name rental as described below.

Level Four displays your website within The Society Column page, retaining the banner and headline while the reader browses your site. The cost of this option is $265, plus name rental as described below.
