Weddingbee Blog

Initially i designed our wedding website using iWeb. However, as we have gotten deeper into planning it we decided we needed something that was more us. So, last night my FI started to design our new wedding website in Flash. He does illustration, graphic and web design for a living, which works out well for our website! When it is finished it will have our wedding motifs incorporated into it and some animation too!

I didn’t have either of my wedding websites set up here on Weddingbee, but I’ll put my Knot planning bio on there now. Anyway, I have the aforementioned Knot planning bio, which is for anyone and everyone to see, *except* for my guests, if that makes any sense. I don’t want our guests–most of them, although not my mom, sister, and very best friends–to see my gown, my colors, the flowers, etc. I want it all to be a surprise. My fiance and I also have a wedding website he set up for our guests. Although he’s a freelance web developer, he did it in Wordpress so I could easily add blog-style entries (although I’ve been pretty lazy about it.) It has directions, our registries, other things on there. We put the mention on the save the dates, but that’s going to be it, it’s tacky, I think, to mention it on your invites. (And since I got the final OK on what I wanted for my invites from White Aisle, I’m going to order them this week. Yay!) My fiance also set up a blog for me called The Wedding Curmudgeon, but I haven’t had any time to work on it. I think it’s never going to get off the ground.

Btw, mine were printed on a seperate information card which was layered underneath the reception and rsvp card.

We made out website on weddingwindow.com, but my name is linked to my knottie bio…it is now at least.

i used weddingannouncer.com as well. it’s free and very easy to use. =)

My name had been linked to my personal/work website (I’m a jazz singer) - http://www.lindseymuir.com - but I just changed it to my knot bio.

We made a wedding website which I’ve had a great time creating. We used a yahoo’s site builder (http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com) and I loved it. They have a number of templates and we just bought our domain name and didn’t have to have something like theknot.com/outnames. We plan on keeping the URL and using it in the future to share vacations, baby pictures, and whatever else is going on with us. We included the website on our STD’s which we mailed on Jan 3rd for our Sept. 8th wedding.

There are a few slide shows (engagement photos and photos of our family and friends), event info with maps/directions, our gift registry, a “what else?” section with ideas of things to do in the area with links to their website and photos of us at a few of the suggested locations, how we got engaged and more info and photos of the wedding party.

flip flop girl…i love your site! i think the “he said, she said” feature is the best…i may have to “borrow” the idea in the future.

and i love jack johnson. i’ve always said i wish he were my alarm clock. just have him sit in my room and wake me up singing banana pancakes. oh if only…

I decided to code our wedding website by hand. However, it keeps getting put off and isn’t completed yet.

Bridal Fever is misrepresenting photographers by posting stock photos on profile pages not created by the photographer. Along with misrepresenting their work sometimes the contact information is not accurate.

They are forcing photographers to sign up for the site to override the stock image or edit their incorrect information and offer no ability for the photographer to remove their profile.

The administrators are also leaving negative ratings against photographers who complain about the policy. They are selectively editing any positive comments which support that photographer.

This company abuses public information under the guise of a non-profit and should not be trusted with your information.
