Step 3. Create Your New Homepage.

Create a personal website to share with your friends and family. You'll be able to share the story of your romance as well as details and plans your guests will need to know about your upcoming wedding.


  1. Share your story. Share the story of how you met and what you want your wedding to be by choosing and creating areas of content for the first page of your personal website.
    Modify the first page of your site


  2. Add & delete sections. Your next step is to set up sections for your visitors to view. When you follow the link below, you'll have a choice of several pages of content that you'll modify as you use your planning tools. For example, your planning tools allow you to set up a Calendar of Events. You could use this feature only for your own benefit, or you could choose to allow your friends and family to see some or all of your Events when they view your personal website. You can also create pages for a Photo Gallery, Gift Registry and others by creating them in your Planning Tools and then adding them to your website on the Add/Delete Sections page.

  3. Password-protect your new website. After creating your new website, you may want it visible to only your own friends and family. If so, you'll need to password-protect it. Follow the link below, and choose a password to give to your friends and family, allowing them to view your new site.

Step 4. Use Your Planning Tools.

The pages linked from the top of your sidebar are organizational tools designed to help you create your perfect wedding. For example, the Vendor List will help you to choose vendors from our vast database for anything from your flowers to your music to the perfect pair of shoes. Or, add a Registry on the Gift Registry page and allow guests to see it by adding that page to your website. Your planning tools and website work hand-in-hand to help you organize and inform your guests, so feel free to explore and experiment with adding pages to your website. You can always see what they look like by clicking the "View Your Website" link at the top of every page.
