Personal Wedding Website - Page 13

jodylynn007 · 04-13-2008, 01:08 PM

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to decide on a site to register with to create my online wedding website. Do any of you know of a site that allows for photo sharing amongst your guests right on the wedding website? Please let me know if you do, or if not, how you incorporated this into your own wedding. I want to maximize on all my friends and relatives photos of the wedding so I need to plan ahead! :)

We used Personal Wedding Websites and Planning Tools | Free Trial Wedding Website, and with a 50% discount code from the knot, it was only $30 for twelve months. The beach design is super cute, and even has a flash intro. Everyone loves it!

this may be a bit repetitive but here is my two cents about a few different websites I tried:

Weddingannouncer.com
PROS: very functional
CONS: No beachy / destination wedding background

Strayweddings.com
PROS: I LOVED the background
CONS: cannot make up your own page (need to use their templates) & 12 photo maximum
*I emailed them with a few suggestions, because I was planning on going with this before finding momentville, and they made a few of my suggested changes within a week, I was impressed.

Myweddings.com
PROS: customizable pages
CONS: Beachy themes not quite as pretty as others

Islandbrides.com
CONS: No RSVP option

eweddings.com
CONS: Lots of basic options missing with the free version

And finally, the one I chose... (after setting up a website with each of the others!!!)

momentville.com
PROS: beautiful background, very functional, create your own pages
CONS: momentville sounds so cheasy! (I put that comment in my guestbook though so people can laugh about it)

I made my own web page... it took me about 2 days, but I am satisfied with the results.

I signed up for wedquarters and would recommend it. Very easy to use.

momentville is awesome! This definitly would have been the one I used if I knew about it last July. I used wedding announcer because it was free & easy to customize. I agree, the main drawback to wedding announcer is the lack of good backgrounds.

Thanks for the info. I don't have a site yet.

we decided to go with momentville as well as it had a much nicer selection for destination weddings and Scott, the owner?, has been very helpful, replied to all emails right away and has implemented many if not all of the suggestions we have made.

Thank you for all the information regarding the different websites. I have yet to start mine and am looking for a good "free" site. I'm cheap! I've researched a few and momentville is nice and most likely the one I'll go with. I don't want a thousand phone calls from guests and think that the website will be the easiest way to communicate with them.

I searched high and low for a wedding site that I liked but was never really happy with any of them so I created a blog instead. It looks exactly the way I want and it's free. I find Blogger to be the most sure friendly. Let me know if you need help. I had no idea what I was doing when I started but now I'm up and running and did most of the work myself in Photoshop.
