Wedding Website Domain Name?

I think you're underestimating the people a lot... people can type whatever you put down as your website.

And if they can't, they won't go anywhere and will try it again. Pick whatever you like the best.

Linds, that's not actually true. If they type Mr.andMrs.Smith.com...they will end up at smith.com. If they type (firstname)(firstname).com, without the hyphen, they will end up at firstnamefirstname.com. So they could actually end up at someone elses website...or worse an ad or porn page. I want something people will get right the first time!

That's actually not true - i just did it - and typing in mr.andmrs.smith.com takes you no where - smith.com takes you to a website.

I still think you're under estimating your guests - and possibly overestimating at the same time thinking they're going to get it right the first time no matter what you write.

People have typos all the time.

Linds, that's because of how smith.com has it setup. Try it with this: Mr.andMrs.MSN.com. You will see that is takes you to MSN.com. If smith.com set it up this way, they can redirect it to smith.com as well. Just because a site doesn't have it setup now, does not mean they won't in the future.

As I mentioned, I don't want to chance that. But how about giving me your opinion on one of the options I mentioned in my original post?

I already did - "Pick whatever you like the best."

Boy that's helpful. I'm obviously undecided if I am posting here asking for opinions.

I think @Linds is right, the majority of people can type a wedding website as they see it. If they make a mistake, they will know because the site isn't yours, so they will try again.

Could you do (first)and(first)(last name).com

I like the dash or mr and mrs best otherwise.

I combined our last names together to make RhoFattaWedding.com.

I bought the domain.

For instance if it is Smith, you can do SmithWedding.com, SmithWedding2018, or even SmithWedding4212018.com.

I wouldn't use Mr. and Mrs.

Thanks Kay! Thanks for another option...that could work, but I'm afraid it might be too long including both of our first names and his last name. I like (first name)-(first name) too, but I'm worried people might not know how to type the hyphen and may instead use a dash or underscore (which all look similar on the keyboard). I do like the MrandMrs(his last name).com...I think I'm leaning towards that. Happy to hear anyone elses opinion though?

Thanks Faith! I was thinking that too, but because I want to use the website after the wedding to showcase having kids or family vacations or whatnot, I was afraid that using 'wedding' in the name might limit it because it's so specific. Any particular reason you wouldn't use Mr and Mrs?

I wouldn't use Mr. and Mrs. So people don't accidentally put periods. Maybe you could use

TheSmiths.com

TheSmiths2018.com

TheSmithsEst2018.com

I really like the Est 2018 one .

I think most people who will actually be trying to access your website will be able to find it any of those ways. Personally, I wouldn't do a MrandMrsSmith type domain unless it's going to be password protected because then you're opening it up to a lot of total strangers stumbling upon your site with a lot of your personal info on it.

If you don't want to go with the options you already considered, you could consider something like LizAndHisNameEverAfter.com or JohnAndJaneAreTheDoes.com. Just something that people could remember, but strangers would be less likely to accidentally stumble upon.

Thanks Faith! The only problem is his last name already ends in 's'...so it wouldn't look right like that, plus I'm not sure if I want to use the year for the same reason as not wanting to mention 'wedding'...I want it to be a website that celebrates us a couple, not just on our wedding day, but long into the future as we celebrate new milestones.

Thanks Laura! Any particular reason you think Mr and Mrs would invite a lot of strangers to the site? The other options you mention sound nice, but I think they may be a little long at 20+ characters.

Unless your last name is very unusual, it's probably shared with a lot of other couples, and people are more likely to visit the site while either looking for someone else's site or checking it out to see if the domain is available because they want to use it. It's totally up to you, that's just my opinion on it.

Thanks Laura. Yeah, his last name is pretty common. I suppose it might be a good thing though if people stumble upon it, it will at least mean that my real guests should have an easy time finding it! Although I will probably consider password protecting it like you mentioned.

I think the site name will probably be long regardless tbh. Unless you just abbreviate something. But I do agree with making it password protected. I like the(lastname).com

Thanks Tina. I liked the(lastname).com as well...and it would be fine if his last name was like Johnson, so it could be thejohnsons.com...but his last name already ends with an 's', so it wouldn't look right.

And yeah, I don't want it too long either, which is why I like the MrandMrs(last name).com, since it's only about a dozen characters total with his last name, compared with 20+ characters for some of the other options.

We did (FHlastname)wedding.com

Everyone has been able to find it.

Thanks soontobe, but like I already mentioned before, I don't really want to use the word 'wedding' in it, because I want to use the website after the wedding to showcase having kids or family vacations or whatnot, I think that using 'wedding' in the name might limit it because it's so specific.

OP you say you don't want wedding in the website domain name but the name of your post is Wedding Website Domain Name.

I agree with pp that if people are going to visit your website they are more than likely capable of figuring it out typos and all.
