3 easy ways to create your wedding website

If wedding bells are about to ring for you and your partner, you’ll need a wedding website to list important information for your guests and commemorate the occasion online. Here are a few ideas on how to get your wedding website up and running.

First things first: You need a domain

A domain is the URL that will take your wedding guests to the site you set up. You can go with something traditional like joneswedding2018.com, or take advantage of the world of new TLDs for a standout domain. Use a .WEDDING domain to register yourlastname.wedding, a .ROCKS domain for yourwedding.rocks, or anything in between.

Once you have an idea of which domain you want, search for it to make sure it’s available. And if someone has already registered it, no worries! Browse the search results for possible alternatives that may work.

Now, set up your website

There are a few different website options you can choose depending on how much information you want to include on your website and how much time you’d like to invest in creating your site. Here’s the breakdown:
