Zola review

Zola is the strongest free option because the website is one part of a connected account. Zola says couples can choose from over 600 templates, add ceremony and reception details, travel and hotel blocks, a photo and video gallery and online RSVPs, then share one custom URL. The guest list syncs from the start, so RSVPs land in the same list you use for invitations, and the RSVP form can ask for meal preferences. A registry link sits on the site, and couples who already built a Zola registry can attach it with the Add Existing Registry option. Password protection is optional and can be switched off later in Privacy Settings. Zola states that websites are free to create and publish, with one exception: a custom domain, priced from $17.99, or you can point a domain you already own at the site. The trade-off is that the site sits inside Zola's store, so it fits couples who plan to use the Zola registry or stationery anyway.
