Select Apps for Your Wedding Website
Wix has a number of apps that will make your site more useful and interesting. My top 10 picks are:
- Form Builder for capturing RSVPs
- Rating Widget if you’d like your guests to rate certain things like menu or venue choices
- MyRegistry.com to integrate your universal wedding registry right into your website
- TubePress for Video Galleries for displaying videos (if you have them)
- Blogger/Tumblr to integrate your blog
- FAQ
- The Google Event Calendar To keep gusts abreast of your planning or offer a wedding weekend calendar
- Restaurant Menu to display your wedding menu
- Contact Form
- A Variety of Social Media integration, including Instagram, Flickr, Facebook and Twitter
Keep in mind that this is just selection of apps. Be sure to check all of the apps out. You may find an unconventional use for any number of Wix Apps.

Remember, Wix and is is totally integrated with other platforms. You don’t have to leave your wedding website platform to sign up for various accounts and integrate them manually. Everything happens right where you’re working.
Wix is super easy to use, and I encourage you to explore the interface and get creative. Because you don;t have to know code to build a completely custom wedding website, your design choices are limitless.
