Can I use WedSites for a non-wedding event?
Use WedSites for engagement parties, anniversaries, vow renewals, and other celebrations.
Short answer: Yes, although WedSites is designed for weddings, you can adapt it for other events like engagement parties, anniversaries, Sweet 16s, and vow renewals by customizing the wording throughout.
What works for any event
These features are not wedding-specific and work for any type of event:
Guest management: Add guests, organize households, track RSVPs
RSVP form: Collect attendance responses from your guest list
Ecards: Send digital save the dates or invitations
Website builder: Create a website with event details, schedule, and travel info
Seating charts: Plan table arrangements
Check-in: Check guests in at the door
QR codes: Share links and forms via QR codes
Customizing the wording
WedSites uses wedding-related default text (like "Our Wedding" and "Bride & Groom"), but you can change most of it:
Page titles and content: Edit any text on your website pages
RSVP wording: Go to RSVP > Form > Edit wording to change form labels and messages
Event names: Rename events from "Ceremony" and "Reception" to whatever fits your celebration
Ecard text: Write your own ecard content
Limitations
Some things to keep in mind:
Default templates and themes use wedding-oriented imagery and language
Some system text (like navigation defaults) may reference weddings
The platform URL will still be on wedsites.com (unless you use a custom domain)
Planner tools (budget, vendors, timeline) are oriented toward wedding planning
Best approach
Sign up and choose a clean, minimal theme
Edit all page content to match your event
Customize RSVP wording to remove wedding references
Use a custom domain if you want to hide the wedsites.com branding
Rename events to match your celebration
Tips
A custom domain makes the site feel less wedding-specific
Focus on minimal themes that don't have wedding-specific decorations
Edit the RSVP wording so guests see language appropriate to your event
You have full control over all the text content on your site
