Wedding RSVP Website Development
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need a dedicated wedding event website. The site should include an RSVP system and integrate with a "With Joy" website, along with custom invite design.
Key Requirements:
- RSVP System
- With Joy integration
- Custom invite design
Ideal Skills:
- Web development expertise
- Experience with wedding websites
- Strong design skills for invitations
Emily MacLeod Pitcher & Dr. Samuel Alexey Sorokin
Objective
Design a timeless wedding invitation and matching wedding website that reflect the venue, the artwork, and an understated 1920s-inspired aesthetic. The look should feel old-world, elegant, and confident. Not trendy. Not theatrical. Not overly decorative.
The design should feel at home in a historic Berlin interior.
⸻
Scope
• Digital-first design
• Wedding website built on With Joy
• Invitation design to serve as the visual foundation for the website
• Optional adaptation for print if needed
It would be helpful if the designer can both design and implement the website directly on With Joy to ensure consistency.
⸻
Available Artwork
Emily has original white rose paintings that may be used as part of the design.
These should be treated as:
• A subtle, textural element
• Cropped, washed out, or ghosted
• Atmospheric rather than illustrative
Use only if it enhances restraint and elegance. Artwork is available, not mandatory.
⸻
Overall Look & Feel
• Old-world European elegance
• 1920s salon inspiration (not Gatsby, not costume)
• Calm, restrained, and confident
• Gallery-like rather than decorative
• Romantic, but not sentimental
Avoid anything playful, whimsical, or trend-driven.
⸻
Inspiration
• Venue interiors: candlelight, antique furniture, velvet textures, muted golds
• Artwork: sculptural, porcelain-like white roses, rich texture, softness
The design should feel cohesive with both the venue and the artwork.
⸻
Color Palette
Primary tones:
• Soft ivory / warm white
• Subtle plaster or blush undertones
• Emerald green (deep, muted, not jewel-bright)
Accent tones:
• Warm taupe
• Antique gold
• Charcoal (preferred over pure black)
Emerald should be used sparingly as a grounding accent, not as a dominant color.
Avoid:
• Stark whites
• Bright or saturated greens
• Pastels
⸻
Typography
• Primary: classic serif, elegant and legible
• Secondary: same family or a restrained serif for supporting text
No script fonts
No calligraphy
No decorative typefaces

⸻
Design Direction
• Portrait orientation
• Generous white space
• Either:
• A very subtle background texture inspired by the rose paintings, or
• A clean ivory background with refined typographic detailing
If floral elements are used, they should feel embossed, textural, or ghosted. Never illustrative.
⸻
Platform Considerations
• Final design must work cleanly within With Joy
• Typography, spacing, and background treatments should translate well to web
• Avoid design elements that rely on specialty printing or complex effects
⸻
What to Avoid
• Script fonts
• Obvious floral borders
• Trend-driven wedding aesthetics
• Gatsby or “roaring twenties” references
• Anything whimsical, cute, or overly romantic
⸻
Deliverables
• Final digital invitation design
• Fully built wedding website on With Joy (preferred)
• Web-optimized assets aligned with the invitation design
