You’ve taken the time to create a wedding invitation that perfectly captures the mood of your magical day… so why would you want to have this ugly URL printed on your elegant linen paper invitation?

For only $7.67 (use coupon code NING1 when checking out at GoDaddy.com) you can create a custom wedding URL that’s short and memorable.

Here’s how to do it.

• Visit GoDaddy.com and buy your custom wedding URL domain name. I’ve used  for demonstration purposes.
• Once you’ve purchased the domain, click on the “Domain Manager” button in the left sidebar:
  

  Select Domain Manager

• Find the domain you’ve purchased and click on it:
  

  Select your custom wedding URL domain

• Select “Forward Domain”:
  

  Select "Forward Domain"

• Enter or paste the ugly url into the box and click “OK”

Voila! You now have a custom-made wedding URL. When guests receive your invitation they will see  instead of “http://weddings.theknot.com/pwp/pwp2/view/MemberPage.aspx?coupleId=6933933726654793&MsdVisit=1″

When your guests type this easy to remember, personalized wedding URL into their browser, they will be automatically redirected to your site on “theknot.com” or whatever online wedding information site you choose to use. And they will be suitably impressed that you’ve gone the extra mile to commemorate the special occasion with your very own mark on the Internet universe.
