Free and Fabulous Wedding Websites

There are many options to choose from when searching for the best personal (free) wedding website provider to display your love and keep you organized. Now the question is which site is best to use? Have no fear we did all the research for you. Take a look at these 5 sites and decide what might work best for you! I personally gave a ranking of my favorite sites in order from recommended to MOST Recommended taking design, function, and other site advantages into consideration.

#5 Zankyou came in as a good contender because it is short and sweet.
This site is simply just a website with basic designs and minimal tabs as you see on the left of the image above. It covers the basics without bogging you or your guests down with more than you need to look at. Having a gift list and RSVP with maybe a few engagement pictures makes it easy to use while still being personal. What you won't find is access to vendors and idea boards. Zankyou only provides you with a free site which might simply be all you need. 

#4 Might come as a shock because Project Wedding is what I consider a wedding idea mecca. Which posses the problem of focus. Because project wedding has such a broad website there personal website tool is just a tool among the rest therefore there are a few over looked aspects. 
You have great access to ideas, blogs, real weddings and vendors although the personal create-a-site is extensive with options it is lacking an RSVP option. Having a website with an RSVP tool is one of the main reasons a wedding website is used. I highly recommend Project Wedding as a information source for your wedding research but not for your wedding website.  

#3 Wedding Window is not as well know as other sites yet they have become a very sleek contender. Their designs,idea boards, DIY projects, and a small shop that you can purchase accessories from make their site appealing in a uncluttered way. 
Their site has everything you would want presented in a clean fresh way. Their planning tools also are a bonus to keep you organized with your budget, and more during the planning process. Check out Wedding Window for some great giveaways as well. 

#2 The Knot ties everything together (I had to say it, it's true). From the wedding to having a home and starting a family The Knot is there for you though it all. 
The Down side about The Knot is that is can get quite busy as shown above. There are menus upon options upon different popups and ads all at once which can make it slightly difficult to get focused in, but once you know what you are looking for and how to look for it you will find endless options. 

#1 Hands Down Best Wedding Website 
goes too....(drum roll)...Wedding Wire!
Wedding Wire has continued to impress me for all of it's attention to detail. If you want a wedding website this is the place to go. Their designs first of all are well, designer created by Vera Wang and other top designers and graphic gurus and their focus is on you and assisting your needs.


Wedding Wire knows what you need in a personal wedding website as well as a wedding resource. They have guest seating and room schemes in their tools along with budget keepers and invitation trackers. As for the personal website it is even possible for your guests to request songs they would like to hear at the reception so you know the beats will be crowd pleasing. 
The site is formulated around you so that you as you can see the first tab is called My Wedding to make sure you come first, not vendors and advertisements. 

There's the scoop.
I hope this overview helped you choose your wedding website provider.
