Even though our wedding is small (it will probably end up being less than 100 guests), I knew that Mr. Blue Moon and I would need to coordinate a wedding website because roughly half of our invited guests are from out of town. I have extended family in Georgia, and since Mr. Blue Moon and I both went out of state for school, we have college friends all over the country. Having been to dozens of weddings since the rise of the wedding website, I have seen a lot of sites, some good and some bad. Thankfully, since our engagement will be two-plus years long before it’s all said and done, I had a lot of time to draft and revise our website before it went live with the sending of our save the dates.
I think a wedding website needs to do three things to actually be functional instead of another useless thing on your to-do list. 1. Give guests a taste of how your wedding will look and feel overall.

2. Provide information for guests, particularly those that are coming from out of town.

3. Tell your story as a couple for anyone who cares.

The Nitty-Gritty
We went with Weddingwire.com to build our wedding website. It had the most options for what we needed, and I love that you can organize your site either as a scrolling list or into subsections with a sidebar. At first, we had all of our pages as a scrolling list, but as we got deeper into planning and added more information to the website, we switched to the sidebar layout.
As you can see, our website is divided into 10 page...
