Ok, so originally I was just going to use the disney wedding website that is on facebook since the address was only going on the save-the-dates. But now the lady who is creating our invitations suggests that we put it on the reception card too. So I think I want to create one on a different site.

I've seen people use different ones but I need advice: I want it to be free, easy to use (I have tech skills), hopefully have different colors I can use, and be able to put up different pages (like one page for us, one page for the bridal party, one page for accomadations, etc), and one that I can do quickly since I need to give the website address to the lady tomorrow.

Any advice would be greatly appreicated!
 
Are you looking for a template to just fill in info? If so, alot of brides use wedding wire or the knot.
We used www.wix.com. It's really wonderful! You can do whatever you want to it, add as many pages, choose and design any kind of background you'd like, add whatever pics you want, add music, etc. The only problem is it took us about a week to do ours. You could probably do it tonight, but you could always go back and edit it whenever you want :)
 
We are using weddingwire and love it!! It was so easy to set up, all you do is fill in the info and add whatever pages you want. They have a ton of different designs to choose from, all of which are very nice. And you can add music. I got mine done in 1 day, but I think for everyone else it really depends on how much stuff you put in it. You could just start off with the basics and keep adding stuff.
 
we used mywedding.com. They have a bunch of different backgrounds, and you can add a lot of pages. I found it much easier to use than the knot's and more customizable. It was also free, so can't beat that. And the url is also not too crazy, again we didn't want to spend money on it and have a custom url.

Most of the big wedding websites like The Knot and Wedding Wire allow you to set up a personal website if you get an account (free) with them. They're extremely easy to use, you basically just fill in information in their template. However, they didn't allow the amount of customization I was looking for, so I just used Blogger and set it up to look like a website instead of a blog. It only took me an afternoon to get it how I wanted it- not long at all.

If you want something super easy and don't mind using their templates, I would say go with www.theknot.com

If you want something a little more personal, then you might want to create one through Blogger. If you do decide to go this route and want advice or need any help, feel free to PM me!
 
Wow! You guys are great! Thanks for the tips!
