I would be nervous to email blast my invites for some of my older guests but if everyone on your guest list is tech savy then maybe that's not an issue for you. I do think you can get really inexpensive invites off Vistaprint.com. I'm not sure about the domain though, sorry!

I think to have a custom domain anywhere you would need to pay. I didnt becuase I was okay with having weddingwire.com in front, but I think girls said its about $20 for the year on the knot

You do need to pay for the domain but it is not expensive. I don't remember what my friend paid but it really isn't a lot and would be worth it if you really don't want the website name in front of it.

I used wix.com for ours. It was free to set up, and our website is ournames.wix.com. I don't know if this is something you'd like. They have a lot of templates you can use to make your website, but it's definitely more labor intensive that most other wedding websites, because everything is done custom your way. You can add all sorts of little widgets (maps, countdowns, interactive galleries, etc) to the page, and you can design your own mobile page as well. Anyway, you'll have to decide what you think is best. They will host your own personalized domain for a price, but I didn't feel like the price was reasonable for the trade off.

Otherwise, the last time I purchased my own domain, I used Google Domains. It was super cheap, I got it for $12 a year. Google also has their own website editor, but I don't know if they had wedding templates. You might need to be a little more creative if you go this route.

I'm gonna try that way I think that will be easier the 1and1.com that I was looking into
