When it comes to wedding planning, anything that is can be described by the adjectives easy and free is something you need to hop on immediately. Like, now. Especially when it was already something you were planning to do anyway… like a wedding website—the best way to communicate all your Big Day details to your wedding guests. So, easy and free you say? That’s the name of the game with Zola and their 100+ (free!) wedding website designs to choose from.
Before I really dive into why Zola needs to be on your radar, it deserves saying that I used them for my very own wedding registry back in 2015. My husband and I chose to do a combination of gift items and a honeymoon fund. It was perfect! Many of our guests purchased items or contributed to our honeymoon fund before our wedding day, allowing us to put that money toward our trip expenses before we even said I do. It made the gifting process super smooth for our guests and was a breeze for us. I only wish they had launched their gorgeous wedding websites back then!
There are plenty of wedding website options out there, but what I love most about Zola is that their designs are inspired by real love stories. So whether your style is more modern, vintage, or rustic, there’s a design that you’ll fall in love with! And if you change your mind, you can switch your wedding website design after you’ve added information to your site—rather than being forced to start from scratch again. Remember I said, easy? The most popular design is Eastwick (one of my personal favorites), which is great for spring and summer soirées! I’m also really loving the Riverside design. Which one is your favorite? You can see all of their free designs here!
When it comes to the little details, Zola has thought of everything. To take the headache out of the RSVP process, guests can reply to multiple wedding events (welcome drinks, wedding ceremony, morning-after brunch) directly on your website. With that feature, expect a lot less of having to chase guests down for their response.
Then comes the fun part… from the story of how you two met to uploading your favorite photos and your key wedding details (FAQ page), Zola‘s platform makes it easy to customize your personal wedding website to really make it yours.
Now, back to that Zola Registry I was telling you about real quick. The best part? Your registry syncs up with your wedding website, making the process super simple for family and friends who can shop for gifts directly on your site. And, I personally loved the tracking feature as well to double check that we had sent out all of our thank you notes!
Because you’re probably on the go, doing dress fittings, cake tastings (maybe not those two in the same day!), and all wedding-y things, you can manage your wedding website easily right from your iPhone or Android with the Zola Weddings app. Their customer service is always available to help couples (and their guests) get the information they need when creating their site, which is so amazing.
Finally, when you’re ready to share your wedding website with your family and friends, you can also take comfort knowing Zola wedding websites are password protected. You can also choose if it’s public (i.e. searchable on Google) or not. While trying to protect privacy, it’s so nice to have that option.
All in all, choosing Zola for your wedding website (and registry) is kind of a no-brainer in my book. I’m totally jealous of those of you who get to use this incredible feature—it looks like so much fun!
