What is the purpose of a wedding website?
A wedding website is a website devoted to your wedding, where guests can learn all they need to know ahead of time. They often feature a part for your storey, a wedding day itinerary, information about your gift list, information about your location, routes, and lodgings, and an RSVP function. While most of our favourite wedding website builders offer all of the typical capabilities, they differ in terms of style, affordability, usability, and design and function options.

This is the one to use if: You are a devoted Google user who is willing to spend some time figuring out how it all works.
