#13Thanks for sharing. I just got married and did my own site - I forgot how time consuming even a regular HTML / CSS static site could be when you have a million other things going on - I would have loved to have used this.

#14I still find the idea of a digital wedding invitation pretty strange, because here in Hungary the bride and the fiancé invite everybody in person together. Maybe distant relatives are invited by mail or something. Is digital invitation a common thing nowadays? Or was it more common even years ago in other countries?
Nine years ago I made a wedding site with Wordpress but sent invitees either the URL or a traditional paper invitation for those that appreciate that touch. When everyone is around the country or even several other countries it would be impractical to visit everyone in person. We didn’t have much money and financed the wedding entirely ourselves so this was necessary as well.

Yes, sites are the best way to get information for weddings IMO.
What we did was: send out an invitation and it had the date + website (no other info) so people HAD to go on the website to get that information.
I love the idea of the couple inviting everyone in person, I would've loved to do that too. We invited close family and friends so would've been obvious.

#16Happy Anniversary! For those looking to use this, the following may help a little: find /path/to/folder -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/Ram/YourName/g' find /path/to/folder -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/Antara/OtherHalfsName/g' Edit: FianceeName -> OtherHalfsName (some people are easily offended) :P
Are women banned on HN now? I think I missed that ToS change.

Interesting! I assume most of the invitees live locally then?
My wife and I sent invitations to friends and family in 6 countries on 3 continents, so inviting everyone in person would have been impractical. We didn't expect eg. her extended family in Chile to actually show up, but we wanted to formally invite them anyway so they would know we were thinking of them.
We did actually have attendees from two continents and four countries though.

#18> This event is no way close to ethnic. The bride & groom would like to have some "shots before the knot". With booze flowing down the floor and the western attire on, everyone would be busy showing off their new moves on the stage which they have finely honed. Lastly, expect some beer pong matches & karaoke for sure.
The money quote. I would have loved to have gone to this wedding!

There's no gender specific wording anywhere on the open sourced website, or in the parent post, so the parent's regex works regardless of who's doing the regexing.

Actually women have been promoted to a supervisory role when it comes to wedding planning, so likely the groom would be tasked with the grunt work of dealing with the website.
