Bilingual Wedding website

Hi Laura! Most of my family is coming from out of the country and they all speak Spanish, my fiancé's family is also Hispanic. So we decided to put both English and Spanish on our website.

I like the idea of being able to choose the language you want, but I wouldn't pay $100 bucks for that, a wedding is already pretty expensive.. That's up to you guys! We made our website through here (WeddingWire) which I really liked, it was very easy to customize and make it just how we like it. You can change colors, fonts, you can add pictures etc. What we did was simply write all the info in English first and then right under translate it all to Spanish. And we did that for all the different pages of the website (Registry, pictures, RSVP, information....) here's a screenshot of our RSVP page so you can have as an Example.

Ugh, I understand! I'm trying to figure this out too. I want the website to be all in Spanish with only a tab for English with the info lumped in there, lol. I'm still exploring the websites but yeah, I don't like that I can't change the heading of the pages from English to Spanish. It is truly frustrating! When I googled for answers, I saw posts from 2011 of people dealing with this same issue! 🙄

If you're talking about the website through WeddingWire, you can actually change the headings of the pages and make them in Spanish. We just decided to leave them in English! You can also add another page if you want! All you would have to do is "Edit" then go to "Pages" then change the headings in Spanish and add a new one and maybe name the heading "Info in English". I hope that helped, but you keep looking for whatever seems easier for you

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I will need to keep playing around with WeddingWire then. I gave up after I couldn't position the pictures the way I wanted to so I didn't even try to add any info. Then TheKnot wouldn't allow me to change the headings (at least thru the app). Off I go!!

I know! I was surprised I couldn't find more info online. Seems like something a lot brides would want and the options are so limited. We're looking into doing it ourselves through Squarespace. MY FH knows a bit about coding and stuff so we might be able to figure it out. I'll update the thread if we can find a way!

View Quoted Comment Yes, please post when you can! It sucks that I basically have to rewrite everything in Spanish. I've been finding that to be the same with invitations. You can write them yourself in Spanish but there aren't many example of invitation templates already in Spanish except on Etsy. Luckily I have a cousin that is getting married in July (mine is in October) so I might ask him to send me pictures of everything so I can copy it 😂

After trying a couple different websites and hitting challenges with customizability (like someone noted, The Knot doesn't allow you to change everything), we finally decided to create two different websites.
