It might be a little early to start building a wedding website, but I don’t care! :D

There are a lot of free and paid websites you can choose, depending on your needs. The Knot, Brides.com, The Wedding Channel and I’m sure many many more sites offer wedding websites for you. Many are also free. The biggest thing for me was that I didn’t want a floofy pink page covered with hearts and roses and doves. Yuck.

After some debate, I signed up for a free trial of a NearlyWeds.com wedding website. If it’s good enough for Ariel at Offbeat Bride to endorse, it’s good enough for me to play with for 2 weeks, right? I found it to be almost dummy proof (THANK GOD) so far! It’s easy to add and remove sections, upload photos and tweak the text. I think I like it so much because it’s got a similar feel to editing and working on a blog.

I ended up picking the Butterfly Love template, as seen here:

Dreamy sigh. Purple and butterflies. How soon is too soon to do a wedding website? Did anyone else get really excited and start theirs early?

  1. I’m going to ask such a stupid question you are probably going to come to New York just to kick me, but. . .
    Do you need both the blog and the Wedding Website? You are going to have so much going on, are you going to have time to keep all these sites up? I just don’t want to see you overstressed. You’re very pretty.

    Hahaha no I’m not going to kick you. Here’s the logic:

    The blog is for me, my friends and the rest of the internet. It’s a dumping ground for all of my ideas and stuff, and possibly part of an application to blog at wedding bee, if I really want to go crazy. I don’t always use good language and I’m sure some older family members would think it’s weird.

    The wedding website is family friendly, and will be filled with the information people need – times and locations, etc. I don’t want that out for the world at large to gawk at, because it’s going to actually have our names and stuff. I’m also taking the ‘set it and forget it’ approach. It works kinda like this blog, but I’m sure as heck not going to update it over and over again.

    Does that make sense?
