If you'll be getting married soon, then you may want to create your own personal wedding website to keep everyone in the loop (and to keep yourself more organized, as well).
Free wedding websites are a great way to keep everyone up-to-date with all the latest changes and the nitty gritty details.
The best part: all of the legwork associated with creating a website from scratch is done for you by the website host. You simply choose from their free wedding website templates in order to create a unique look and design to make the pages exactly as you want them!
As a busy bride who is trying to plan the perfect wedding, you are going to have more than enough to keep you busy without having to be constantly answer phone calls and e-mails with questions about your wedding. That's why a free wedding website makes so much sense!
Here are some other reasons you might want to personal wedding website of your very own.
You can:
Post important dates like dress fittings (for your bridesmaids), wedding rehearsal, bridal shower, and all the other events associated with your wedding (including the ceremony itself) -- along with maps & directions for how to get to the events.
Keep track of the dates you sent out invitations, who they were sent to, and even set it up so people can RSVP online (instead of via telephone, mail, or e-mail).
Set up an interactive online guestbook where people can leave their well wishes for you and your new husband.
Provide links to all of the locations where you have gift registries set up -- which makes finding wedding gifts a really simple process for your friends and family members.

Share a list of everyone who will be in your wedding party. You can even include photos of everyone.
Create a page to share the story about how you both met, along with any other stories about the two of you that you would like to share with friends and family.
Share photos and fun stuff so those who cannot attend your wedding can see all the best highlights from your wedding (and the days and months leading up to the ceremony) via photographs and the stories that you post online.
In the end, there are lots of different things that you can post on your personalized free wedding website, including:
Photo albums- Videos and audio files
- Mailing list
- Polls and quizzes
- Files to be downloaded
- Personal blog
- Who's who in the wedding party

- Maps & directions
- Your personalized vows
- RSVP forms
