What You'll Learn
WeddingWire's free website tool
The first step is to choose a design that matches your wedding's theme and style. WeddingWire offers a variety of free templates to choose from, whether you're going for a modern, classic, romantic, vintage, or fun and funky vibe. You can even use your engagement photo or a favourite snapshot as your website backdrop! Customise the colours, fonts, and layout to make it unique to you and your partner.
Once you've selected a design, start adding your event details. All you need to get started is your wedding date and location. You can then add more information as you go, such as the time, travel and hotel details, rental car information, directions, and any other important updates.
One of the best features of the WeddingWire website tool is its ability to handle RSVPs. Guests can RSVP directly on your website, eliminating the need for mailed responses or manual recording. The tool also seamlessly manages your guest list and keeps track of RSVPs for all your wedding events.
In addition to the practical details, you can also include a blog, registry information, photos, accommodation ideas, directions, and more. The website can serve as a fun way to share your love story, occupations, hobbies, and even a photo album.
Finally, WeddingWire allows you to personalise your website URL, making it easy for guests to find and access. You can add your names to the website address or purchase a custom domain name. You also have the option to password-protect your website, ensuring that only invited guests can access the information.
With WeddingWire's free website tool, you can create a comprehensive, user-friendly, and stylish wedding website that keeps your guests informed and excited about your special day.
