I'm using Wed Share (www.wedshare.com) and I love it, they have new options added daily, it's easy to navigate, their cutomer service is top notch (i needed som help getting my guest list into their program and they did it for me in less then a day!)
It was about $70 but I assure you totally worth it!!!
I used http://www.theweddingtracker.com/ but I checked out several different sites to find the set-up I liked best (I was home sick and really bored!). I liked that you could put your wedding party into two columns instead of 1 long one.
I think if you go to theknot they have links to associated sites as well.
I'm using WedShare, too... although I haven't noticed any new options added since I signed up a month ago. It's really easy to use, you get your own domain name, and there's lot of nifty planning tools, too (budget calculator, guest list organzier, seating chart manager, online RSVP, correspondence tracker, etc.).
It is a bit costly, but it ended up being worth if for us.
if you have a mac, i used iWeb to design our website and it took all of 30 minutes. it's literally click and drag for the whole thing. it took more work to scan in all of our pictures than it did to make the site. dreamweaver and other web design programs work in pretty much the same way, but i think iWeb is the easiest.
i also used godaddy.com to buy the domain name and host the site. it cost $42 for the name and hosting for a year. it comes with an online tool that lets you upload your website from your computer to the web that's actually pretty intuitive.
feel free to PM me if you want more info about how i did it!
I used the website available through mywedding.com. It is free and very simple to use. :)
weddingtracker.com! it has so many helpful (and fun) features. if you want, email me, i'll send you our website and password so you can check it out.
i also use mywedding.com.. it has everything you would need to create a website and with many different theme backgrounds for use. =)
I'm another one on WedShare. The templates are really easy to use and, while I've done a good bit of xhtml work, I'd rather have a template for my wedding website and one less thing to worry about.
What sold me was the fact that I could upload as many pics and videos as I wanted, and I could purchase the website after the wedding on cd to keep in like the photo album for the wedding.
Wedding Tracker all the way! It has all the nice, easy to use features that you need and only costs $30 if you use the Knot discount. Check out my website! www.jonandnicole.com
We made a googlepages site because it is free, and you did not have to live with one of the templates that have those cheesy words and flowers in the background. If I was going to have something like that, I wanted it to match our colors, invites, etc and nothing did. Googlepages is easy to use, and we just made it really simple with lots of pictures, etc. I would recommend it.

WeddingWindow.com has been amazing. Excellent features, very easy to use, straight forward, and also voted the best wedding website provider by the Wall Street Journal. Yay!

Oh wow, nicgac, one of your groomsmen has a monkey!!! You should think about having him be the ring bearer. (Haven't you always wanted a monkey?)
check out www.bridalfever.com its 100% free with awesome templates and SO easy to use. Its features are: photo albumn, guest book, a quiz for your guests, unlimited pages, rsvp, and you can customize ANYTHING on the site. did i mention that it is FREE!? I made our website in less than a couple hours and its a-mazing.
we also used iWeb and love it! it's so easy to manipulate and customize. everything is just drag and drop into a template. i highly recommend it if you have a mac. the software is comparatively less expensive than a lot of the other wedding specific sites out there.
http://weddingannouncer.com/ Super easy & super customizable... I love it!
www.weddingwire.com is COMPLETELY free (but no ads on your page) and has tons of great resources. It is web 2.0 friendly with google map interfaces, links to Kayak for travel reservations, weather plug-ins for your location, plus it has a whole dashboard for brides to use, including:
- guest list database with address, invitation, RSVP, gift, seating and thank you status
- "binder" of pictures, documents, online articles and other things you want to digitally cut & paste for ideas
- graphical seating map where you can draw table & chairs around a room with sizes that you specify and then label & place your guests accordingly
- you can export all of this to printed tables or excel for easy use with other applications or just for simpler reading
- it also has a slideshow tool, guest RSVP tool, all the staples that you would expect
Keep in mind that it is completely free because the vendors are advertising to brides, but not on your site. So if you don't want to be hasseled by vendors advertising things to you just check off "already selected vendor" during the registration process when it asks you to fill out your wedding planning process. It's a great tool so far and I can't say enough about it. It needs to start getting traction for more brides to use to stay alive so pass the word on!! :)
I suggest your try www.sharedweddings.com
We've been using it for a while now and 1) its FREE and 2) its so easy to use - I have never made a website before and I found it really easy to use. They have a good set of website themes to choose from and you also got a few very useful wedding planning tools included. Has anyone else tried this one?
I agree with JCM9608. Wedding Window has been great! If you're curious and want to see our page message me and I'll send you the link.

Weddingtracker.com -- you get a 1/2 of discount through the Knot so it is only $30 for the year. Not only is it a website, but it also organizes and tracks your info for you. Checkout our site at www.christinaanddaryl.com

www.wedquarters.com for us too! I really love it - they have some great non-cheesy layouts...
My 1st experience at creating a website, and it was so easy! I am using www.ourweddingday.com , it is FREE! And, I love it!
Another vote for iWeb if you are a Mac user. Extremely easy to build (they have a variety of templates built in, including a wedding specific template, also have blog pages, etc). I'm hosting it through iMac, and I purchased a vanity domain from Go Daddy.
The main reason though: I like the fact that our "wedding" website can evolve to a family website fairly easily. What I didn't like about all the wedding website vendors is that I was locked into the "wedding" format, and it was only good for a year. The way I've done it, we've got the domain, it won't change, so our family and friends don't need to be updated a year from now that our home on the web has moved.
I guess the only drawback is that there is no RSVP feature built in. But there are separate programs that you can buy and embed into your website with iWeb. This wasn't a big deal for us because we are having a very small (<20 guests) wedding.
PM me if you'd like a link to see the results.

Okay, I find myself feeling about to give in. While I am not as computer savvy as some of you bees, I have put together websites for school assignments using templates of several types. However when I google "wedding website" a lot of options come up!
If you are using one of the websites out there as your wedding website design help (eweddings.com, etc) could you let me know which one, and what your experience has been with your site? I am looking for something relatively easy to use, but with some fun features. Thanks!!
