I chose mywedding.com and bought my own domain name on godaddy.com (for one year w/extra privacy setting - $12? look up discount coupons for godaddy beforehand - i think that's what i did and got a discounted price) - i googled how to set up custom domain name and there's some good instructions some bride posted that tells you how to point your mywedding site to your custom domain name. it was pretty easy! I researched a lot of wedding websites but most of them did not have the unique, offbeat, design-y, contemporary looks i like. i was blown away by wedding window's paid designs and originally was going to go with them and pay $79 for one of their packages when my fiance got a wedding invitation and i saw they used mywedding. i looked them up online and they have awesome, modern and very interesting templates of all kinds for free!! so i'm glad i saved my money! the only thing i don't love are the limitations on layout of pictures and text - i want to have more control - but I was able to look up a little HTML code and put that in the text to control font colors/size, add pop-out links, embed videos, etc. also i wish the pictures you can upload to a page were bigger. it also gives you budget and other planning tools but i'm using google templates for that kind of stuff anyway. bit overall, i highly recommend them!! my site: www.monicaandsasha.com

Yay! Glad to see another 2014 bride here - I am also thinking Feb. I've already been lurking on the boards for quite a bit and it's given me a good idea what to expect with planning and great ideas to figure out what kind of celebration I really want. Congrats to you!
