How do I change my website URL?
Update your wedding website address by changing the subdomain or connecting a custom domain.
Short answer: Go to Settings to change your wedsites.com subdomain or add a custom domain.
Changing your subdomain
Your default URL looks like: yournames.wedsites.com
To change it:
Go to Settings
Find the Subdomain field
Enter your new preferred subdomain
Click Save
Subdomain availability
Subdomains must be unique across all WedSites users
If your preferred subdomain is taken, try variations like "john-and-jane" or "thesmiths2024"
Only letters, numbers, and hyphens are allowed
Using a custom domain
For a fully custom URL like ourwedding.com:
Purchase a domain from a registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.)
Go to Settings
Enter your domain in the Custom domain (optional) field
Click Save to see the required DNS records
Configure the DNS records at your domain registrar
Wait for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours)
What happens to old URLs?
Your old subdomain may become available for others after you change it
If you previously shared links with the old URL, they won't redirect automatically
Consider keeping your original subdomain if you've already sent invitations
Tips
Choose a URL that's easy for guests to type and remember
Avoid special characters that might cause confusion
Test your new URL before sharing it widely
If using a custom domain, keep your wedsites.com subdomain as a backup
