Laura and Paul are getting married. It's happening on August 27nd 2016 in Cork. They are to create a wedding website, and they need to decide on a perfect .com address. Let's look at some of their options in terms of what they could call their wedding website. 

They could pick any one of these combinations:

lauraandpaul.com
paulandlaura.com
lauraandpaul2016.com
lauraandpaulcork2016.com
lauraandpaulswedding.com
lauraandpaulswedding2016.com
laurapaul2016.com
lauraandpaulwed.com

Now let's look at some of the pros and cons for these individually:

lauraandpaul.com

Pros

- It looks perfect for invites
- It is not too long for your guests to type in
- It is easy to remember

Cons

None!

Rating 5/5

paulandlaura.com

Pros

Same as lauraandpaul.com 

Cons

Paul is before Laura. Remember, ladies always should go first!

Rating 2/5

lauraandpaul2016.com

Pros

- The inclusion of the year makes it more personal (it's Laura's and Paul's year). 

Cons

- Slightly longer but perhaps okay

Rating 4/5

lauraandpaulcork2016.com

Pros

- Tells the guest all they need to know in once glance i.e. Laura and Paul's wedding is in Cork in 2016

Cons

Slightly long. Guests are more prone to typing this address incorrectly 

Rating 3/5




lauraandpaulswedding.com

This domain is a 'exactly what it says on the tin' choice. It is plain and clear.

Pros

- Simple and clear

Cons

The inclusion of the 's' after Paul may cause confusion for guests when they type in the address

Rating 3/5

laurapaul2016.com

- Pros

It is short

- Cons

The lack of the word 'and' makes it not flow properly

Rating 4/5

lauraandpaulwed.com

This works okay. Whilst it is a pity to reduce the word wedding to 'wed' it has a plus side as it ensures the URL is kept short.

Pros

- Clearly communicates 

Cons

- Wed is used instead of wedding. This has to be a negative

Rating 3/5

Good luck with whichever .com domain you decide on for your wedding website.
