The story page is very flexible. If you want, you can simply use it as your home page by adding a photo of you and your spouse-to-be and a few paragraphs. But you can do so much more than that!

Photo

You can use any of the photos you upload on the Albums page to be your Story page photo.

Bride and groom intro

We give you the option to organize your page content into two columns, one for you, one for your spouse-to-be, where you can both post a short introduction, or share your thoughts about your relationship and the upcoming wedding. All the other stories will appear under these columns.

Stories

Share your favorite stories with your guests. If you don't give your stories a title and date, they will show up as simple paragraphs on the page. But you also have the option to organize your stories by date and share your favorite memories in a timeline.

Check out the guest view of this page on our demo site.

Albums

Sharing photos and videos on your wedding website

Upload any photo or YouTube video to the Albums page. Choose a photo for your profile image on the story page. You can edit the captions, delete your photos and videos or change your profile picture anytime.

Invite your guests to share their favorite photos and videos of you. Although they can upload photos and videos, they will only be able to update and delete the ones they added, while you will be in full control over all the photos and videos on your site.

Updates

Posting changes

The date or location of an event just changed? Something important happened that you want to share with everybody? You can post it on this page and we will send an email to your entire guest list to make sure everybody is notified.

Sharing what's on your mind

You and your spouse-to-be can use this page as your wedding blog. Whenever one of you posts an update we will show your name under the message, and all your guests will get your post in an email. By default everyone on your guest list will be subscribed to your updates.

RSVP

Wedbuddy free wedding websites - couple's invitation page

e-invitations

The invitation page of your wedding website has two modes: Save the date and Wedding invitation. Only you, the organizer, will be able to change between the two modes; your guests will see the one you select. When your wedding is still far enough away that you want people to know about it but you're not yet ready for anyone to RSVP, you can use the Save the date mode. The Wedding invitation mode is for when the day is close enough that you want to start figuring out how many people are coming, who wants what for the meal, any special details you'd like to share with people, and if you want to give directions to your wedding.

When you send out invitation e-mails to people on your guest list from the Invite Guests page, we will direct them to this page.

RSVP

When your page is in Wedding invitation mode, you can decide if you want people to RSVP on your wedding website, and if so, how many additional guests they can bring. You can also decide on the security settings for the RSVP.

We make sure that only people you added to your guest list on the Invite Guests page can RSVP to your wedding, otherwise your guest list can get really messy, especially if your wedding website is public.

Security settings

When you build up your guest list on the Invite Guests page, everybody that you add to your list will be able to access your wedding website and RSVP online to your wedding invitation. We recommend that you ask your guests to log in to RSVP even if your site is public, because that helps prevent people from responding for other guests. To set the "Require guests to sign in for RSVP setting" go to the Invitation page, switch to Wedding invitation mode, then click Edit and if you scroll down you will be able check the checkbox for this recommended setting.

Invite Guests

Managing your guest list

Build up your guest list by adding guests manually to your list or by importing contacts from your Gmail or Yahoo! mail accounts. Everybody you add will be able to view your wedding website, even if it is private, and RSVP to your wedding. You can update and delete guest information anytime. After you invite people, you can view and change all the details they give when they RSVP (RSVP status, meal preference, additional guests, comments, etc.) in the guest list grid.

Managing requests

If your wedding website is private, guests will have to log in to view it. If you accidentally didn't add a friend to your guest list but sent them the link to the site and they try to log in, we will direct them to the Request invitation page, where they can request access to the site. You will receive an email about the request, and you can approve (or deny) it on the Guest Management page.

Sending invitations

You can send out wedding invitations from this page, or you can just invite people to view your wedding website. If your site is public, anybody who knows the url will be able to visit it. If it is private, only people you added to your guest list can view it. You can change this setting on this page or on the Settings page.

When you are sending out invitation emails, you can choose people from your guest list, or you can add them manually to the recipient list, and we will add them to your guest list after sending out the emails.

This page is not visible on our demo site, because there you can only see the guest view of a sample wedding website, and this page is only visible for organizers. But you can try it if you sign up (it's free).

Registry

On the Our Registries page you can create links to all your wedding registries.

Adding a wedding registry from our list

To make it easier for you, we collected the 70 most popular wedding registries with logos and urls, so all you have to do is select one from the list. If your registry has a personalized url, you can replace the default url and you are done.

Adding a custom wedding registry

If your registry is not on our list, you can always send us an email, and we promise we will add it soon. But this shouldn't stop you from adding it to your site. Instead of selecting from our list, just type in the name, upload a logo if you want to, add the url, and you are done.

Guestbook

Start early

The guestbook is a really important feature at a wedding. It is more than just a list of who attended, it gives your guests an opportunity to share their feelings about your big day.

So why not start early? Your guests can start posting on your website from the minute you invite them, which makes your virtual guestbook much more interesting and colorful than a paper one your guests can only sign on your wedding day.

Edit your guestbook

A virtual guestbook has a huge advantage over a paper one: it is editable. If you want to delete a message, it only takes a click. As the organizer, you have full control over all the messages, but guests can also delete their own posts.

Social Wedding Checklist

Wedbuddy free wedding websites - couple's task page

Organize your tasks

On the Wedding Checklist page you can create your own, custom wedding checklist that will help you keep on top of all tasks for your wedding. To make your life easier, we compiled a list of the most common wedding planning tasks which you can add to your wedding checklist. You can also create your own, custom wedding tasks and add them to your wedding checklist.

To help you get everything done on time, you can set up an email reminder for the day before a task is due. When you complete a task you can just check it off, which will move it to your 'done' list.

Share and assign tasks

Why do everything all by yourself? The real power of this feature is that you can delegate tasks to other people who can help you plan and prepare for your wedding. Share your task list with friends and family and either assign things to them or let them volunteer.

This page is not visible on our demo site. You can try it if you sign up (it's free).

Wedding Party

The Wedding Party page is where you can share information about the special guests attending your wedding, such as the Maid of Honor, Best Man and your family members, so guests will easily recognize them on your wedding day.

Upload a photo and enter their name, title, and bio. Get inspired and have fun with this page. You can add playful or funny photos. You can also make collages or arrange themed photo shoots.

This page gives you an opportunity to highlight the important people who will be attending your special day. This page will only be shown to guests if you have added Wedding Party guests.

Privacy

By default, your wedding website is open. This means that anyone will be able to visit it without signing in after you share your site's url with them. You can change the privacy of your site to private which means that only guests who are on your guest list will be able to see your website after signing in. You can change the privacy of your website at any time.

Themes

Customize your wedding website with a few clicks

Check out our Themes page, it is really easy to use! You can choose images, backgrounds and fonts with a few clicks, and see a preview of your new settings in the preview box before you save.

More themes to come

We keep adding new themes, so even if you already chose something, check back every once in a while, maybe you'll find something you like even more!

Although this page is not visible for guests, we made it accessible to you on our demo site. Feel free to click around, change the theme and font, and check out the whole site with the new settings.
