A wedding website is a quick and easy way to showcase your love story to families and friends. It has much richer content than the traditional mail wedding invitation. You can not only put the important date and wedding location but also tell your story, share your beautiful photos, remind your guests and even receive wedding gifts. A wedding website can bring a new experience to both the couples and wedding guests. The 5 following platforms make it easy for you to create your own wedding site.

Joy

Joy is a Seattle-based platform, which was originally created for the founder’s sisters. It is free to use with hundreds of templates to choose from. Couples love this platform due to its ease of use and functionality. It covers all your basic needs to create a good wedding e-invitation. You will have options to customize existing templates, protect your privacy with a password, collect RSVP and link to wedding gifts sites. The only drawback is that the site is not very mobile-friendly and their mobile app can benefit from some developments.

Paperless Post

Have you ever walked through a store full of creative designs named PaperSource or seen that golden hummingbird logo on your card? If you are a fan of their elegant and modern designs, you can also find them online! Beside their crowdsourced templates, Paperless Post also provides designs from famous brand names such as KateSpade New York, Oscar de la Renta… for you to choose. There is an option to upload your own design and start from scratch too. The platform allows you to track email opening, RSVP and collect guests’ wishes right on the invitation wall. Pricing starts from a free template for first 50 invites to premium paid one based on your selection. One drawback when you consider this site for free is they don’t remove the header bar. As a result, your guest might see all their card options and accidentally navigate to their homepage.

Wix

More than a wedding focus platform, Wix is a widely-known tool for website creation. If you want to create your unique wedding website, this can be your tool. The platform has lots of flexibility for you to adjust the site as you wish. It is also free to use. The downside would be the learning curve to customize all aspects of your website. New users might find it overwhelming at first. Besides, the more you want to change, the longer you will have to spend on creating your website.

Appy Couple 

The platform is smartly built to guide you through the process from Save the date to wedding invitation and the reminders to guests. It is interactive with two layouts and hundreds of themes for you to choose from. The selling point for this platform is its convenience to use on the day of mobile devices thanks to a well-developed mobile app. Unfortunately, Appy Couple is not free. The site will charge a tiered fee ($49 or $149) based on your needs.

Minted

If you prefer an online to offline experience, this platform can be your option. Minted focuses on the quality of your wedding invitation design and stationery (thank-you card, invitations, etc..), which matches your wedding website design. They crowdsource their wedding invitation templates from independent artists to give users a good selection. The platform uses a freemium model so that you can use limited features without costs and opt to pay more for a premium one. It limits your ability to change the templates and access to some necessary features such as guest list management.
