Creating a website for your wedding is an easy way to keep your guests informed about all the details of your event without having multiple email threads, text messages, or phone calls. It’s also a fantastic way to get your guests excited about your event and help them prepare for your big day!
When you sign up for WedSites, you'll automatically get your own customizable subdomain. If you've also purchased your own custom domain name, you can connect it to your WedSites wedding website by adding the following DNS records from your registrar's control panel:
Record type: A
Name: @
Target: 37.16.10.26
Record type: CNAME
Name: www
Target: domains.wedsites.com
By connecting your custom domain, you’ll be able to share your custom URL (ex: yournames.com) with your guests and on your invitation. When anyone enters your URL into their browser, they’ll be able to view your wedding website to find all the information and RSVP online.
Where should I purchase my domain?
If you haven’t already purchased a custom domain, we recommend that you purchase it from a reputable domain registrar like namecheap.com, GoDaddy, or Bluehost, which all offer free domain forwarding.
How do I add DNS records to my domain?
Each domain registrar has a slightly different interface for managing DNS records. If you have already purchased a custom domain, please search the registrar’s support docs for “DNS” or "Host record" instructions.
To save you the trouble, here are the instructions provided by some of the most popular domain registrars used by our couples!
