    Is there a way to take the website that I created using wedding mapper and give the URL a simpler name - the one that is created has letters numbers and backslashes.  I want to include the website on my invitations.

    Hi there.... you can purchase a domain name : eg: www.simpleurl.com and simply redirect it to your already existing - more complicated URL

    Check out tinyurl: http://tinyurl.com/

    You plug in your website you want to link to, and it will give you a short url that redirects to it automatically. The url always begins with http://tinyurl.com/ and then you can personalize the ending. A lot of names are taken so you may have to play around with it until you find a unique identifier. Or it can generate one randomly. For example, I made http://tinyurl.com/changeURLwb to link to this weddingbee board post.

    The site is also free to use. Good luck :)

    Yes, you can do it by either of the methods above as mentioned.

     If you are familiar with lol catz you can use www.icanhaz.com and create something like this:

    http://icanhaz.com/weddingbee

    which works in the same way as tidyurl.com

    Or you could also buy a domain via godaddy.com or 123-reg.co.uk and simply redirect the simple domain (such as www.myweddingdomain.com) to your wedding mapper name.

    Within the control panel you will be able to redirect your new url to the old one.

    :)
