Your WedShare wedding website comes with your very own dot com! i.e. www.christieandsteve.com, selected by you and reserved by us. You don't have to worry about purchasing the domain, setting up its nameservers, pointing it to your website, or renewing it if needed. We handle all the details for you! Your only task is sharing your new website address with all your family and friends.

Don't settle for other services that stick you with a long, inconvenient add-on to their own address (like yournames.someotherwebsite.com), or make you pay extra fees to reserve and renew your domain name. With WedShare, your website address is already your own, which is easy to remember and great for adding to your invitations and stationery.

Not only do we provide your domain name, but two personal email addresses there as well. And because your email addresses can each have an unlimited number of aliases, you can effectively have as many email addresses at your website as you like.

Imagine providing friends, family, and vendors with a personalized email address like christie@christieandsteve.com! You even get an email account manager to add and remove email accounts for your new domain.

Your email addresses are POP and IMAP compatible, so you can use any email tool, such as Microsoft Outlook®, to access your mailboxes.

With WedShare.com, you're not stuck with just a single "Blog Page". You can add blogs to any custom page of your website, and there's no limit to the number of blogs you create!

Each blog includes archiving to simplify content organization. Blog posts can be archived by category as well as date. Each post can be tagged with as many category keywords as you like.

Choose to allow guest comments, RSS feeds for your visitors to subscribe to, and manage it all with ease from your WedShare Dashboard. Create as many blogs as you like!

Blogs can quickly load up with content and grow out of hand... but that's a good thing. All that great content, a snapshot of your thoughts and experiences, is a living, running journal and a treasure trove of details.

Your blogs include a search bar for fast, prioritized Boolean searches. It lets you and your guests find the content you're looking for, above and beyond archives and categories (described above).

That's not all: during your blogging, your website is indexing lists of all your words and phrases behind the scenes, making subsequent searches lightning fast, no matter how enormous and unwieldy you think your amount of content becomes.

Your website contains a lot of important information for family and friends: post the latest changes in your News & Updates Page so everyone's up-to-date.

For more convenience, you can choose to automatically copy any of your entries here as a Welcome Page Alert (see below), helpful for when you want to make absolutely sure everyone is up to speed on important new information.

Want to make it even easier for your guests? Let them subscribe to a mailing list and get all the updates you post automatically by email. Guests can subscribe/unsubscribe right on the page in a non-distracting collapsible form. Keeping everyone informed has never been so easy!

Do you have critical updates or important info that needs to be noticed? Add a Welcome Page Alert! Your message will be shown in a matching dialogue box whenever a visitor arrives at your Welcome page. You can even set the Alert to expire within a specific number of days, so you don't have to come back and make yet another update when the Alert becomes stale. Visitors have the option to turn the Alert off after they've seen it at least once, so you can be assured that everyone's seeing your message without it being annoying.

Plus, unlike other services' alerts which depend on popups that are blocked by almost all browsers today, ours are contained within the page and are completely INVISIBLE to pop-up blockers. You can be sure that your guests will get the memo! Check the demo's Welcome page to see a working Welcome Page Alert in action.

Your names, website title, and wedding date are all styled according to your chosen theme, elegantly integrated into your website's graphical design. Yet you can change this information at any time and as often as you like; no need to contact your web designer or recreate any images.

Planning a wedding takes a great deal of organization and information management, tasks that a computer is especially good at. Let WedShare assist you with potentially time-consuming processes like organizing guests, managing headcounts, and tracking RSVP information, gifts, and thank-you cards.

With our easy to use, intuitive planning tools you can manage your wedding details from the convenience of your WedShare Dashboard... at any time and from any computer on the Net.

Let your guests gather all their necessary contact information for you!

With Guest-Managed profiles, your guests can create their own contact profiles that seamlessly tie into your RSVP page and Guest Manager database. They can even upload their own photos if you want to allow it. Important dates like birthdays and anniversaries can be captured as well, so you'll get reminders when you need them.

If you publish your guestlists, everyone can click on each others' profiles for even more interactivity. Set up as many custom profile fields as you like so everyone can get to know one another right on your website. You control what information should be captured and which (if any) can be public.

With our full-featured Event Manager, you can create as many events as you like (i.e. Reception, Rehearsal Dinner, Bridal Luncheon, and so forth). Each event can have a separate guest list and seating assignments, so only those guests who are invited can view and respond to the event details.

Collect RSVP responses online and manage them with our intuitive response browser, so you can add in responses you receive in the mail manually. Need reports? No problem: quickly and easily export or import responses for any of your events to and from Excel.

Online RSVP → Online RSVP responses are added automatically to each event accordingly, but you can also collect RSVP responses received by mail and add them manually to our intuitive response browser. Manage all your RSVP responses for each event in one spot!

Sending an RSVP to a wedding will undoubtedly long adhere to the traditional mailed RSVP card, but that doesn't mean you can't have your guests also submit their response online while they're enjoying your wedding website. Guests are usually happy to interact with your website in this way, whether or not they send in the traditional paper response as well. If you prefer online only, state it in your wedding invitation and include the URL to your RSVP page.

A great advantage with the online RSVP is that it automatically updates your Guest Manager with the response and confirmed headcount additions - including the number of adults and children attending - so you don't have to do it manually. If you've reserved an accompanying spot for the guest, the name of the person accompanying them is recorded for you as well. You can always check your RSVP results at any time, by viewing the RSVP report or just browsing your Guest Manager.

Your online RSVP will allow a guest to register a number attending only up to the amount of seats you have reserved for the guest in your Guest Manager. If you prefer no children at your reception, the online RSVP is an easy, etiquette-safe way of informing guests of that, too.

Meal selections can be created and added to your online RSVP so that guests can select a dinner online, furthering the amount of data that your website is collecting - and organizing - for you.

Lastly, create as many events as you like and view or export the online response results for all of them. Not since the phrase "Répondez s'il vous plaît" have RSVPs been this cool.

(RSVP information is automatically updated if guests RSVP online, so you can always see who has responded and who hasn't.)

With a single click, add Yahoo! or MapQuest maps to your event pages, as well as a link to produce driving directions from your visitors' locations.

Placing gift registry information in your wedding invitation is generally considered a bad practice, but including your wedding website's address is always acceptable. And, you can set up your online gift registry so that all your visitors can easily find it and conveniently use it right from your website! No more worrying about how you're going to get the info to your guests. You can add logos of the stores you're registered with and links to your registry with those stores; we have the most common stores preloaded for you to select from.

You can even create an unlimited number of custom fields for each guest and import those too. As guests RSVP to your event(s), you can collect the response information online via Online RSVPs, enter response information manually, and/or import the responses. We offer the most complete flexibility in moving, managing, and updating your information!

Export your guest information from your online Guest Manager database right to your own computer, as well as any custom fields you may have created for your guest profiles. As guests RSVP to your event(s), you can export the response information to your computer as well as print out summaries and reports.

Need to gather and share music suggestions for your reception or other event? This is the way to do it!

Get everyone's feedback, suggestions, and even audio/video samples up on your website to be shared and commented on. Let guests rate the music they like best, and tally the scores. Make it as interactive as possible, so everyone can contribute and have fun doing so. In the end, you've got some invaluable information regarding your family's and friends' likes, dislikes, and preferences. Your band or DJ will gratefully accept the information while tailoring your play list, and your wedding music will have a fine-tuned head-start.

The Music Requests List was designed with all this in mind. You and your guests can add and sort suggestions, post audio, video, and album art, and share comments. There are a lot of cool new features, too, like drag/drop uploads, instant music video suggestions, and more.

Check out the details at Pixel & Ink, and see a sample list at the demo site.

WedShare is committed to the security and privacy of your personal information. You have full control of the security configuration of your wedding website, whether you would like your website open to the public or protected by a 32-bit encrypted password. You can select, change, and remove your website password at any time.

As an alternative to a password, you can request that your visitors supply an identifying piece of information - such as an email address or name - when logging into your website. Then, your visitor log (see the Visitor Log info box) will show your visitors' identification along with their IP address.

As an alternative to a website password, you can activate visitor registration, a complete account management system that will require each of your website's visitors to register on their first visit. Your website will generate a password for each visitor and send it to the email address they provide, ensuring that only visitors with valid email addresses are allowed. Their email address is then logged for you so you can see who is visiting and when. You can even block troublemakers and lock out unwanted solicitors, and if your visitors forget their password or want to change it, your website handles that, too... automatically!

View Sample Screenshot

Keep track of who your visitors are and how many people hit your site every day by activating one of a variety of logging methods. Depending on what your preferences are, you might log IP addresses, request identification from each user, or activate the visitor registration system. Your Dashboard will allow you to examine your website traffic on any date or dates you wish.

Spellcheck Your Website Text!

One click brings up a convenient spellchecker to help correct your website content as you enter it in. You'll even get suggestions on how to fix typos, misspellings, and other creative word inventions...all on-the-fly.

All of our text entries allow you to switch back and forth between layout and HTML design views so that you can edit your content right on the HTML level. Our text designer tool even has an interface to create and edit HTML tables.

If you have HTML experience or would like to add in third-party scripts, it's as easy as toggling the text designer's HTML view.

Sometimes you may want to create pages of your website that are not listed on the main menu. For example, you may want to create a page linked off the main menu which in turn has its own menu linking to several sub-pages.

With WedShare, you can create an unlimited number of custom pages, and specify whether or not they should be listed in your website's menu. You can then link to these pages however you like: create submenus on certain pages, or have some pages unlinked entirely so that only those people you give the address to even know how to get to it. You might even link to such hidden pages from another website.

Each page or feature of your site can be independantly turned on or off, allowing you to build your website at your own pace, and to disable features that you do not want or need. You may even want to temporarily deactivate a page for a certain period of time; your information, photos, and layout preferences for that page are all saved until you activate the page again at a later date.

Nothing about your WedShare wedding website is static, and your menu and page entries are no different. Not only can you rename all your menu labels and webpage headers, but you can arrange and re-arrange your menu and page entries as often as you wish; it's easier than shuffling a deck of cards. Order your web pages, entries and features according to your own priorities and liking.

Request feedback or preferences from guests such as a "Reception Music Request Form" or a "Bar Menu Form" for example!

Make your website even more interactive by creating your own custom quizzes! Add as many as you like; change, activate, and deactivate them at anytime! Your quizzes can be placed in existing pages on your website, in a single custom page layout or in multiple pages at once.

Like polls, you can choose to set up quiz answers in free-form or multiple choice, and even set up images for each answer. You can dermine one or more correct answers for each quiz question, and opt to keep results hidden or presented as a summary to participants.

Add a favorite shot of yourself to all the pages of your website as well as your animated Flash introduction. Crop to a clean square and set the header photo placement all with a single click. Like everything else, your header photo can be changed as often as you like.

Further customize select designs by swapping all header background imagery and embellishments, or uploading your own!

Have items on your list that aren't in your wedding registry? Put them there yourself with your gift registry page's wish list feature. Post the photo, description, and even price/store location of items you have an eye on. And they don't have to be physical items either; why not create your own honeymoon registry, where items are activities like "Champagne Brunch", "Horseback Riding" or "Hotel Accommodations for Week 1"?
