3. Minted
Originally, Minted.com was created for designing and ordering invitations. But they great wedding websites to go with their services. One thing I love about their platform is that it’s basic and user friendly, and allows you to play around with a DEMO of each website template before choosing. It also lets you see how each template will look on a computer and tablet/phone. You can view the design templates side-by-side with it’s coordinating invitation design, which is a great feature for someone who loves to see everything together visually. Take a look at the wedding website example and preview below. We love how visually easy it is to use Minted.

One thing I love about their platform is that it’s simple and user friendly, and allows you to test out a DEMO of each website template before choosing. Then, once you choose your website template, it also includes invitation and stationary template designs to match. Since I was a graphic designer in my past life (and still use those skills), I love the idea of all the design elements of your wedding to match beautifully, from the website, to the save-the-date and invitations, and even the thank you cards you send your guests after.
