Wedding websites these days are as plentiful as skyscrapers in NYC.  The quality however varies from host site to host site.  So which one is best for you and your fiance?  Wedsite.com is one of my favorite wedding hosting sites for several reasons.  They have a book layout which makes for great story-telling. Customizable backgrounds are plentiful and vary by color and design.  You can also upload as many images, videos or music files as you like!  Online RSVP tracking and your own domain name is also available.  One year of hosting starts at $49.00 – not too shabby compared to other hosts.  Plus, you can customize far more that the run-of-the-mill free sites.  Only draw back is that some of the templates are Flash based.  😦 Sorry iPad and iPhone.
