    Hey bees, I'm new to this but I was curious about how to build our wedding site with. I've seen the template with The Knot but didn't really like it....What site did you build your page with and did it cost???? Thanks Ladies :-)

    I used a free RSVP page from weddingwire. But if you want to pay you can try wedmedo.com they are quite nice

    We used MyWedding.com because it let us put a song on as background music AND the templates were really unique and fun. Plus it was free and allowed for total customization of all pages : )

    I just bought a domain name from Wordpress for $15 per year. The domain is just MyFirstandHisFirst.com, so it's easy to remember and I can password protect it and use it later to document our kids for relatives :). If you're okay with domainname@wordpress.com, it's free.

    I like the amount of freedom you have with Wordpress. I wasn't a huge fan of the knot's templates either.

    I did mine with brides.com, that way we could send out the site and have our names before the other site's name. I also liked the layout and the other tools included on that particular site. :)

    I purchased a domain and paid to make my site at weddingwindow.com.  I resorted to paying because I wanted something fully customizable and this was the only site that allowed me to have a white background and not some "themed" wedding website.

    I second @jam's recommendation of MyWedding.com

    I love our site, and there are lots of customization options, and the platform accommodates basic HTML editing.  Plus you can turn off pages you're not using, which you can't do on The Knot.  Love that!

    i used blogspot because its free and I thought maybe I could eventually use it as a blog for friends and family to keep updated once we have a family.

    I already had a domain and webspace for my personal website. I hand coded mine and put it up on my current webspace. But then again both me and FI are software developers.

    After looking at a lot of the free options, I went with OneWed.com because they had a template I really liked (matched my colors and theme) and it was easy to use. I did pay a few dollars (maybe $20?) for a custom URL, but that was optional. Here's a link if you want to check it out. (It will be coming down eventually - I think it stays up for a year?)

    I went with wedsimple.com and paid $60 for a year. I really liked their templates and the customization is really easy to use. It also has a free trial offer to see if you like it...

    I went with www.wedsite.com, they are also on Facebook and have links to sample wedsites for you to check out. I am in love with how it turned out. I paid $69 to have it for two years but it was sooo worth it. I get so many compliments from all of my friends and family. You can also pay $19 to purchase your domain name. You can upload unlimited pics, add music and lots of other options to personalize your wedsite including the RSVP. I recommend you check it out!

    I'm using weddingwire.com, I love the rsvp tool. I also registered a domain name through godaddy.com which forwards to the weddingwire page, so i have sonj818andfi.com, which is really nice. AND it was all of $15 to register the domain for 2 years.

    We used Wordpress. I just signed up for the free one, so our website is www.domainname.wordpress.com 

    I actually really like it- I picked a layout that I liked that allowed me to customize the background and header. 

    Wordpress also allows you to create different pages- this lets people view information on a different page, instead of like blog posts. 

    I love it- easy to use, easy to customize, functional, and the web address is short enough for people to remember!

    we are using weddingjojo.com.  using their free page now.  may upgrade to the $15 a month plan, may not.  only difference between the two (that we would take advantage of) would be to have links to our registry.  is it really worth $15 a month for that benefit?

    Blogger and then a domain name from GoDaddy.  It was eleven bucks total.

    I learned quickly that not a lot of people checked the site out, so I'm glad I didn't spend a ton of money on it.

    We used Wix.com. We didn't like any of the wedding-specific ones we found, so this was perfect! It lets you have a playlist, create as many pages and subpages as we want, is Flash animated, we could add as many pictures as we want, and it's totally customizable. We received so many compliments on it we bought the domain name and are keeping the page for another year to update everyone with wedding pictures and beyond! (You can PM me if you want the page we created to see an example of what a wedding one looks like from them).

    Nearlyweds.com (through Wedding Paper Divas).  It was free, easy, and had everything we needed.  You can buy a personalized domain name through them too if you want.

    i'm building my own. i have been messing with HTML and graphics since i was 13, and flash websites were never favorites of mine. i find them very annoying. i actually created a mock one with some older pro pictures we have even though we aren't engaged yet, and i own the domain (which he told me to get). i'm going to launch the one i created first and then re-design it once we get new engagement pictures.

    We bought a domain name thru godaddy.com and the site is www.MyFirstAndHisFirst.com. It was all of twelve bucks a month, plus we have personalized email too. MyFirst@MyFirstAndHisFirst.com and HisFirst@MyFirstAndHisFirst.com. We love it b/c it's going to be fully customized (yeah... haven't gotten around to actually building the site yet LOL) and we can use it to kind of journalize things in our lives and once we have kids. Oh, and it'll be password protected so only family and close friends will have access!
