What Is The Best Site To Create My Wedding Website?

Wedding Woo sample website

Having a website for your wedding is a great way to keep guests informed and in the loop about all of your wedding’s details, including itineraries and schedules, venues and locations and more. In this day and age, many couples are opting to have a website, social media accounts and even a hashtag for the big day. It’s a simple way for the bride-and-groom-to-be to stay in contact with their guests in the otherwise hectic process of wedding planning. These are five of the best wedding website options online for the modern couple.

Joy

Joy is the most modern, elegant and full-featured wedding tech we found.   Its wedding website is not only beautiful it also supports adding so many pages like schedule, story, wedding party, flights, hotels, AirBnbs FAQs, engagement photos or whatever else might come to your mind.   It also gives you a fine grain control on the privacy of each page so for example, you can keep your schedule protected under password but keep your photos visible to everyone.

It has many beautiful designs from traditional to modern, from rustic to beach destination etc.  And they are constantly adding more.  You can customize colors, fonts, designs and make it very personal.

Joy supports online Save the Dates and gorgeous online wedding invitations completely free.  So you do not have to pay standalone invite solutions like Paperless post.   If you like the good old fashioned way then you can also order matching printed stationery.

The RSVP system in Joy is sophisticated enough to add any number of questions (including multiple choice) and also determine whether you want to ask questions one per household (e.g. whether they need hotel room) or to every guest (e.g. dietary restrictions).  Most of these features you would pay for at other RSVP systems.

Guest management in Joy, in general, is quite advanced.  You do not need to use excel sheets anymore and their guest list not only manages your guests but also their +1s.

Joy also comes with a wedding app where your guests can upload photos, can get to know each other, can get one-click driving directions, use Lyft & Uber integration and even get your last minute announcements out to your guests.

Joy has many other additional features like the Live slideshow at reception, Unplugged ceremony, Strict name matching for RSVP and so much more.

Features: Wedding Website, App, Themes, Online RSVP, Wedding Invitations, Save the Dates, Photo Gallery, Live Slideshow, Registry, Story, Schedule, FAQs, Wedding Party, Notifications, Matching Prints, Guest Management, Travel Arrangements, Custom Privacy Options
