How to Create a Free Wedding Website in Kenya (Step-by-Step)

You’ve said yes, picked the date, and now the questions are flooding in. What time is the ceremony? Where is the venue? What’s the dress code? If only there were one place you could send everyone — a link that answered all their questions and let them RSVP without the endless phone calls.

---

There is. It’s called a wedding website, and in Kenya, you can create one for free in under 10 minutes.

Harusi Hub is a wedding planning platform built specifically for Kenyan and African couples. It gives you a beautiful, custom wedding website — complete with RSVP, digital invitations, a gift registry, and a budget tracker — at zero cost. No monthly fees, no credit card required, and no tech skills needed.

This guide walks you through every step: from your first click to sharing your link with the entire family WhatsApp group.

Why Every Kenyan Couple Needs a Wedding Website

Before we dive into the how, let’s quickly address the why.

Kenyan weddings are big, joyful, and often involve hundreds of guests spread across different counties, upcountry towns, and sometimes different countries. Coordinating all of that through WhatsApp threads, printed cards, and word-of-mouth creates gaps — and gaps create stress.

A wedding website fixes this. Your guests visit one link and get everything: the venue (with a map), the time, the dress code, who to call, how to RSVP, and what gifts you want. You update it once when anything changes, and everyone automatically has the right information.

And unlike printed invitation cards — which can cost KES 30,000 to KES 100,000 by the time you factor in design, printing, and distribution — a Harusi Hub wedding website is completely free.

How to Create Your Free Wedding Website on Harusi Hub (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Set Your Wedding Date

Head to harusihub.com/create to start the process. The first screen asks for your wedding date.

Use the date picker to choose your day. As soon as you select it, you’ll see a live countdown appear — the exact number of days until your wedding. This same countdown will show on your public website for guests to see.

The date must be at least 7 days from today, so plan accordingly if you’re in the final stretch.

For a full walkthrough of this step, see the Create Your Wedding guide.

Step 2: Enter Your Names

Next, type in both your names. The system shows a live preview on the right side of the screen that updates as you type — so you can see exactly how your names will appear on your wedding website before committing to anything.

Take your time here. The names you enter will appear prominently across your entire site.

Step 3: Choose Your Theme

This is the fun part. Harusi Hub gives you 146+ themes to choose from, with three recommended options shown at the top to help you start quickly.

Browse the full grid to find a theme that fits your aesthetic — whether you’re going for soft pastels, bold Ankara-inspired colors, modern minimalist, or classic elegance. Click any theme card to preview it.

Don’t stress about choosing the perfect one right now. You can change your theme at any time from your dashboard after creating your account. The edit your wedding website guide explains exactly how.

Step 4: Create Your Account and Claim Your URL

The last step of the wizard asks you to create an account with your email address and a password, then claim your custom wedding website URL.

Harusi Hub suggests a URL based on your names (e.g., harusihub.com/james-and-amina). The system checks availability in real time as you type. If your preferred URL is taken, it’ll suggest alternatives — just pick one that works.

Once you confirm, your wedding website goes live immediately.

Step 5: Complete Your Onboarding

After the creation wizard, Harusi Hub walks you through a short onboarding flow to set up the key parts of your site. Every step is optional — skip anything you’re not ready for and come back later.

The onboarding covers:

1. Upload a cover photo — an engagement photo or your favorite couple shot works perfectly
2. Set your budget — choose a category (Essential: KES 50K–500K, Moderate: KES 500K–1.5M, etc.) and dial in your exact figure
3. Configure your events — add your ceremony, reception, traditional wedding, or any other events with dates and venues
4. Set up your gift registry — browse gift categories and add items guests can contribute to
5. Create invite links — set up personalized invitation links for your parents, siblings, or friends
6. Preview your site — see exactly how your website looks to guests before sharing

See the full details in the complete your onboarding guide.

Step 6: Customize Your Pages

Once you land on your dashboard, head to Dashboard > Website to open the full website editor.

The editor splits your screen into two panels: a live preview of your site on the left, and your editing controls on the right. Your pages include:

• Home — your cover photo, couple names, and event details
• Our Story — share how you met or a message to your guests
• Photos — your engagement photos or couple gallery
• Wedding Party — introduce your bridesmaids, groomsmen, and other key people
• Q&A — answer your guests’ most common questions before they ask
• Registry — your gift wishlist, integrated with M-Pesa
• RSVP — where guests confirm their attendance

For each page, you can add, reorder, and edit content blocks. The preview updates instantly so you see changes in real time. Switch between desktop and mobile preview to make sure everything looks great — because most of your guests will view it on their phones.

Step 7: Share Your Link

With your website live and your pages customized, it’s time to share.

Your wedding website URL is the single link that replaces every other coordination channel. Share it:

• In your WhatsApp groups
• In your email invitations
• On your printed save-the-dates
• In your social media bio

For a more personal touch, create invite links from Dashboard > Settings > Invite Links. These let your parents send invitations that say “Mr. & Mrs. Kamau cordially invite you…” while your friends send a casual version — all pointing to the same wedding website.

What to Do After Your Site is Live

Creating the website is just the beginning. From your dashboard, you can:

• Track RSVPs in real time — see who’s confirmed and follow up with those who haven’t
• Manage your guest list — add guests, organize by group, track meal preferences
• Track your budget — log expenses, track payments to vendors, stay on budget
• Manage your registry — see contributions and thank guests
• Plan your wedding day timeline — map out every hour of the big day
