One of the most important wedding planning details involves creating and posting your own personal wedding website. A personal wedding website is the perfect way to share everything about you and your Big Day!
There are many things to consider when choosing how to build and host your site. You can sign up for one of the many FREE wedding
website offers, pay a small fee, or go with something totally custom made. Just remember the old adage that says "you get what you pay for". So, if you pay nothing, it's probably because you're not really getting that much. Your decision should be based upon how many and which features you want.
I have researched three choices that I can recommend.
A Premium Site with most of the features you'll want is available for about $10.00 per month at ewedding.com. That will end up costing about $150 total.

If you want a totally personalized site where you get exactly what you want, I found just the right source. A "Customized Site". It's something like using an interior designer to decorate. You'll be working directly with the web developer. He gives you exactly what you want. Cost is normally $495.00. If you mention Rachel Reeves you get a $100.00 discount. Look at these sample sites. Contact the web developer directly for more information or to send a request form. |
. Tech Support and site maintenance.
. Music when site is opened.
. Music page of all the couples songs.
. Video; the couple can make or provide a video for all of their guest to see.
. Voice narration by the bride or groom, makes the site very personal.
. Wedding location live feed Weather Forecast.
. Custom web address: example. www.steveandlinda.com (if available)
. Free Hosting
So you see, it depends upon the amount of features you want.
Have fun!
