Making your own wedding website can be an important and fun part of your wedding. We get lots of great feedback from couples who are just so happy that they decided to use MomentVille to create their wedding website.  For those who have yet to make their own wedding website, there are a number of reasons that you should consider making one.

A wedding website can be very helpful for sharing information about your special occasion. Putting all the details of your wedding on your website can avoid the need for a bunch of emails and phone calls.  A wedding website lets you put all the information in one place, where your guests can quickly and easily find it.  To make this communication with your guests even easier, MomentVille has a few great features to help. First, guests can subscribe either by email or RSS so they get notified any time you update your wedding website.  Second, you can share your Momentville updates on Facebook.  Third, our new wedding RSVP system allows you to send emails to guests and the invite system includes vCal calender events.

Another great reason to create a wedding website is so that you can capture the memories from your wedding online! Imagine, on your first, 5th, or 50th wedding anniversary looking back at all the guestbook, photos, videos, and other wedding info in one place!  What a great way to relive the joy of planning and celebrating your marriage.  Wedding websites on MomentVille help you out by allowing you AND your guests to upload photos. In addition, wedding websites on MomentVille (unlike our competitors) never expire.  Your memories don’t expire, why should your website?

Wedding websites can also help you plan for your wedding.  You can use an online RSVP to keep track of guests. (This can also save money). Online guest books are also a great way to get comments or request from your guests.  Why not use a guestbook to let your guests pick the music they want to hear?  You can also find wedding vendors in your area, or find wedding essentials via our online wedding shop.

There is no shortage of great reasons to make a wedding website, but planning, sharing, and remembering are 3 key ones that ultimately guide us as we continue to improve MomentVille.  We sincerely hope our service helps you to achieve those things.

We are VERY excited with our newest feature: the ability to create your own custom theme for your wedding website.  We’ve had so many requests for particular themes that we weren’t able to keep up.  To fix that, we’ve created a theme builder which will allow you to build exactly the theme you want for your wedding website.  You can use your own images or choose from our library of images. You can also select the fonts and colors so that you can create exactly the look and feel you want.

Most of our current themes can be built with theme builder, so that gives you some idea about what is possible.  That is only the beginning though.

So how do you start?

Check out our how-to article to see how to build your own custom theme.

How do I use it?

Anyone can build a custom theme as described in the link above.  Applying it to your website will require that you have a premium website.  This lets you test it out so that you can build the theme you want, and see exactly how it will look before making the decision to upgrade.

We have some custom options for free sites too!

You can already change the font style and color of ‘Text’ and ‘Photo and Text’ elements on your wedding website.  Along side the new custom theme feature we’re making it easier for you to set the font and color for your whole website in one place.  At the top of the Theme Tab you will now see a link that says ‘Edit Font For… ‘ which will let you set the font, color, and bold/italic for all the elements (including the element titles) on your website!  You can still overwrite the colors of individual Text elements as well.  You can learn more about it here.

Since this feature is new, we definitely want to hear your feedback on it!
