Many couples settle on their personal wedding website. Don’t make that same mistake, they’re not all the same… Scroll down to see our updated list!
Let’s outline just a few of the ways that your eWedding website will be better than any other:
1 Our advanced ‘Total RSVP’ system
One of the most important parts of a wedding (after the dress, of course) is managing your guests. This is much more than a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, it can mean:
- Attendance
- Meal choices
- Allergies
- Plus ones
- Directions
- Song requests
- Special requests
- Childcare requirements
And so much more… Try collecting all that on a single RSVP card, or with another online service. Good luck!
We revolutionized the online RSVP process for weddings and created the most advanced RSVP system. Actually, we created two. One is quick and easy, the other requires some setup, but gives you 100% control and does all the heavy lifting and organizing for you.
Open RSVP
Quick and easy to create. Guests see all your RSVPs and can RSVP for any event for themselves and any guests.
Closed RSVP
You have 100% control over who can see what and who they can RSVP for.
- 1. You add your guest list
- 2. Add any plus ones or connect guests to any other guest
- 3. You set which RSVPs each guest can see and submit
- 4. Guests will search by their name on your site and only see what you set
- 5. Guests cannot RSVP for any extra people
If you want the no setup fuss and trust no one will RSVP for extra people, go with the Open RSVP. If you can’t fathom the thought of uninviting people, you may want to opt for the Closed RSVP.
Both these RSVP options give you a color coded RSVP manager to make managing your RSVP’s a breeze. You can also download your RSVPs in a CSV spreadsheet at any time.
2 Unlimited sections
Don’t be forced into a wedding website template where you can only fill in the blanks and can’t truly make it your own.
We break down the content of your site into sections. One section is a slideshow, another is a contact form, or wedding party, photos albums, you get the idea… Now that you have all these sections, you can now:
- Reorder your sections with drag and drop. Want your countdown at the top of your site instead of a slideshow? No problem, just drag and drop it.
- Add new sections. Want to create multiple slideshows, multiple blog sections, more than one of any section? No problem, just keep adding.
- Get creative. Want your family and friends song requests to be displayed on your site? Just make a new ‘Wall’ section, rename it ‘Song requests’ and now their responses of song requests appear live on your site.
3 Notifications
You need to know what’s happening with your wedding planning at all times, this is a given. But, you also need to know what’s happening with your guests at all times as well. They have questions, problems, requests and more.
Your wedding website is your online hub for your wedding. Perfect for your organizing, but also for your guests to send you everything you need from them. When guests are interacting with you on your wedding website, you need to know. And not know later, you need to know now. It could be something as simple as submitting a song choice or answering a poll, but it could also be a concern over travel options, or which hotel you have rooms booked at. My point is, you need to know.
That’s why we created a totally new notification system. A system that you can get real-time text notifications to your mobile phone and also get emailed to multiple email addresses.
You can set your notifications to different people, emails and mobile numbers for each form. Why? It’s simple! Different people may be helping manage different parts of your wedding planning. If your mom is managing a bridal shower, you can have those RSVP’s go right to your mom’s email so she knows who is and isn’t coming. Or if you have a planner managing RSVP’s, you can copy her on who is coming to the ceremony and reception. Maybe your fiancé is in charge of music and song requests go to his email.
It all makes sense now doesn’t it? 🙂 Like our Total RSVP, we pioneered this new feature as well and left all other website builders in the dust. When this is all we do, we do it better. 🙂

Editing your wedding webpage on eWedding.com couldn’t be simpler. Click on a photo to add a photo, click on the text to edit the text. This seems simple, and it should be. We made editing so simple there’s no guess work involved. See your site as you work to make sure it’s just right.

5 Background music and image
Want to add ‘your song’ to your website for your visitors to enjoy while getting up to date on your wedding plans? No problem, upload you own mp3, or two, or three! Don’t have an mp3? No problem, you can choose from our built in music collection to make your webpage even more customized. No service compares with the ease of use or ability add multiple mp3’s of your own.
Having a destination wedding? Maybe you want to add a custom beach background image. Or, maybe some nice old wood for a shabby chic rustic wedding theme? That’s under ‘Patterns’, pick from the variety of popular wood patterns. We offer a large variety of beautiful background images, patterns and colors you can use in a click. If you have something specific in mind you can upload your own image or pattern at any time.
Customizing your site to perfection is easy at eWedding, don’t settle for a cookie cutter site without your own background music and image options.
6 Elegant themes
Don’t settle on the design of your wedding website. So many services use cookie cutter templates and just keep changing a graphic at the top and call it a day. Your wedding website is a direct reflection of your wedding celebration itself. Make sure you find a design that fits your style and gives you the opportunity to customize it with background music, patterns, font colors and more. Only eWedding gives you the flexibility to do ALL those things. We’ve heard from so many couples that left other services just for one of our themes and the flexibility they have. I know, we don’t have a ton, but this is because we spend so much time on each one, and I know it shows. We have more great themes in the works and I’m excited to get those released!
Don’t forget, you can change your theme at any time. In fact, you can edit the content on your site 24/7/365. Add new forms, photo albums, blog posts, anything at any time!
Well, thanks for sticking around this long to read through this list! Did I mention you can test our website builder without even creating an account? Just click any of the ‘Start website’ links to try it now, I’m sure you and our builder will be a perfect match. 🙂

Our guests love the site
We have been very happy with the service and accessibility of eWedding. We are what you might call a nontraditional couple and we are having a nontraditional wedding – to say the least. After the engagement, we weren’t even sure we would have a wedding website. In fact, we had visited other sites and cringed at some of the layouts and content and usability of the sites.
The first thing that sold me on eWedding was the ability to create a personalized URL. Once we explored the site, we were so happy with the custom layouts, fonts and color options and especially the “contact us” features that we actually made the wedding website a crucial part of the whole day. We are only requiring people to RSVP on eWedding – which has been great because we receive emails and text messages each time a guest does. Our custom URL, DYLVIN, has been hash tagged and made it’s way into all wedding communication – save the dates, invitations, party favors, napkins, etc…
Our guests love the site because it is easy to check on their computers and on their smart phones. It’s really allowed us to add the personal touches that make the site and our big day unique.
The support from eWedding has also been great. I had to replace my credit card and forgot to update my information on eWedding. I received an email when my payment didn’t post and the support team walked me though the steps needed to update my information and keep my custom URL, which was so important. I’ve been very pleased with every aspect of eWedding and I’m happy to recommend it to any couple looking for the perfect place to express yourself, organize important information and really wow your guests before the big day.
