Upload Unlimited Photos - Share your picture perfect moments...
Proudly display the special memories your photos have captured! Your website is the best place to share all your favorite photos of your event, your family photos, photos of your pets, your most memorable vacations, venues and so much more.
Most impressively, with LifeQuarters, you get to upload an unlimited number of photos!
Your website gives you two very distinct and flexible photo opportunities. You may choose to:
1) Create Photo Albums...
- Add as many photo albums as you like, to any page you want
- Add a custom title and caption to each album
- Upload an unlimited number of photos into each album
- Add a custom title and caption to every photo in an album (optional!)
- Enjoy this great way to organize photos into any categories you want
- Enjoy all of our easy photo customization options for every photo you place into an album
You can even place individual or multiple photo albums on separate pages of your website. So flexible!
2) Upload Individual Photos...
- Upload as many individual photos as you like, to any page you want
- This option lets photos integrate directly with other content and features on your website pages
- Add a custom title and caption to each photo (optional!)
- Enjoy this great way to feature and showcase your best photos
- Enjoy all of our easy photo customization options for every photo you upload
Upload an unlimited number of individual photos to any or all pages of your website. Our system allows for the largest photo size display possible (492x500 pixels) on your website, so if you want to showcase your favorite photos, you can showcase them in a BIG way!
Remember: With LifeQuarters, your photos are not confined to a limited, pre-determined space. Our system lets you share all your favorite memories with prominence!
Our photo specs are simple:
- Acceptable File Types: JPG, .GIF or .PNG
- Max Image Size Before Uploading: 4MB/Per Image
- Max Display Size: 492x500 pixels
(our system automatically shrinks the uploaded image to this size if necessary)
Free Subdomain - Your very own web address...
Included with a LifeQuarters account is a FREE Subdomain* of your choice:
- YourChoice.LifeQuarters.com
When your guests type in this web address, they will arrive directly at your website.
Remember: You can easily pass along your web address to all your family and friends, print it on your announcements, save-the-date cards and favors, include it with your invitations...whatever you like!
Optional Add-On: You may also upgrade to a Custom www.***.com Domain* for your website. Available extensions are: ".com", ".net", ".org" and ".info". Upgrade price: $14.95/year.
*desired web address subject to availability
Gift Registry Links - Don't keep your guests guessing...
This is a definite must for both you and your guests. They will know where to shop for what you need and you will receive exactly what you wished for!
You may easily link directly to your online gift registries using our built-in store selection form in your LifeQuarters Hub. Also, you can provide details of specific store locations with phone numbers, addresses and driving directions.
If you have a gift registry from a store with online shopping, you can also include helpful instructions about ordering online or shipping and delivery details. This feature is completely flexible to accommodate any information you need to share with your guests.
Many of our customers also choose to create donations links to non-profit charities in lieu of, or in addition to, a traditional gift registry. This feature works perfectly if this is what you would prefer to do, as well.
Link to or list an unlimited number of gift registries on your website!
Upload Audio/Music - Add an extra "wow" factor...
Add audio/music capabilities to your website!
It's easy to do too. Just upload your audio/music selection in the simple form in your LifeQuarters Hub and our system will automatically add your desired audio/music to your website.
You may add audio/music to any pages of your website that you like. It's so flexible!
Our audio/music specs are simple:
-
Acceptable File Types: MP3 (.mp3), WAV (.wav), MIDI (.mid), REAL (.rm, .ra)
-
Max Audio/Music Space: 1 MB across entire account
Please Note: It is critical to respect copyright issues when uploading music. You may only upload audio files which you own or have licensed the rights to use. LifeQuarters is a company who cares about artists and the rightful owners of copyrighted materials!
Password Protection - Between you and your guests...
If you want to enhance privacy and security on your website, then you'll love our password protection feature!
When your guests arrive at your website, they will be required to enter the password you have selected in order to proceed. Password protection ensures that you will not have unwanted visitors browsing through your website and viewing event details.
You can set up one general password to protect your entire website or choose multiple passwords to protect only select, individual pages! You also have the option to add a password hint which will prompt any guests who may not remember the correct password.
Hide a Page Option - Masterpiece in progress...
Build at your own pace! There's no pressure and no rush with our convenient "Hide a Page" capabilities. This feature lets you secretly tuck away any pages that are under development.
When you are ready to show a page off on your website, it's easy to update. You can switch a page's status from "Hide" to "Show" with the click of a button in your LifeQuarters Hub. And there it is...instantly live online!
It's so simple and keeps things neatly under wraps until you're ready for the Big Reveal.
Event Countdown - It's getting closer every day...
Involve your guests in the anticipation of your event with a custom countdown. It will be here before you know it, so you might as well have a fun way for you and your guests to see how many days are left until your event!
Our flexible countdown feature even lets you apply a short custom description to your countdown. Some popular ideas include:
(for the below example, let's say your family reunion is 100 days away)
- 100 days until our family reunion!!!!!
- 100 days until it's finally here
- 100 days until Our Celebration!
Our countdown feature is smart too. Once your date has passed, it will automatically switch to display on your website as, for example: "17 days since our event".
Maps and Directions - Arrive with time to spare...
Ensure your guests get there on time...by posting all maps and directions you want on your website! This is very popular with guests, as it alleviates any frustration they could experience with figuring out how to arrive at your venues.
You may link directly to a map online, upload one, or use our simple map tool in your LifeQuarters Hub to create a link right from your website. Or simply provide additional details such as phone numbers, addresses, parking instructions, timelines and directions.
It's flexible, so you can upload maps or create map links on separate pages of your website. Include an unlimited number of maps for your guests' convenience!
Travel and Lodging - Home away from home...
Post important travel information on your website such as hotel bookings, discount/group rates, car rentals, addresses, contact information and any other details that will make travelling easier for your guests. Perfect if you're planning a destination celebration or an event with a large number of out of town guests!
In your LifeQuarters Hub it's as simple as filling in the location your guests will be visiting. We've got easy car and hotel link forms where you just enter in the desired venue or company information. Our system then takes what you entered and automatically displays it on your website in a visually appealing link.
We also have automatic flight and local attraction links* you can activate in your LifeQuarters Hub. These links are tied into a specific third party website that, when clicked on from your website, automatically direct visitors to the appropriate flight booking screen or suggests local "hot spots" and areas of interest for your region.
This thoughtful gesture is sure to go a long way for your guests who have travelled a long way!
*some international locations unavailable
Live Weather Forecast - Keep your fingers crossed...
Display real-time, local weather conditions* on your website.
Just enter your zip code or a unique weather code in your LifeQuarters Hub and our system will automatically place a live weather button on your website. Guests just love this feature!
Rain or shine, your guests will be prepared when your event arrives!
*some international locations unavailable
Site Counter - Watch the number rise...
Display the number of visits your website has received with our site counter feature! Our system uses smart IP tracking to ensure that any return visitors are only counted once per day, so you get accurate traffic totals.
Another Bonus: In your LifeQuarters Hub you'll also have a real-time overview of all daily traffic to your website.
Custom Polls and Quizzes - See how well they know you...
Put your guests to the test and see how well your friends and family really know you! Add some extra fun to your website with an unlimited number of custom polls and quizzes. Quizzes can be a great ice-breaker!
Custom polls can also be a great way to help you make any decisions about the event that you're having a hard time deciding on. Or just poll your guests on fun questions about your event.
Our system can accommodate four custom answer/option fields for each quiz or poll you create. Results are displayed in real-time. You can even place multiple polls or quizzes on separate pages of your website. It's so flexible!
Background Music - Music to your ears...
This is the perfect way to enhance the overall tone and mood of your website and leave a lasting impression on your guests. Music will play continuously as your guests navigate all pages of your site. As most browsers use a pop-up blocker, we do not launch your audio in an annoying pop-up. Instead, our system displays this feature as a visually appealing small white bar which will appear at the very bottom of the screen - a nice and clean look that will compliment any design you choose!
We've given you complete control too! In your LifeQuarters Hub you get to choose if you want the music to play just once, or play on a continual loop, which means it will restart once the music piece has ended. You may also decide if you would like your background music to auto play, or if it must first be clicked on to play.
As well, your guests will have control to stop and play the music as they see fit. And if they choose to stop the music, it may be restarted when they want it to play again, as the background music feature will not disappear. So convenient!
Our audio/music specs are simple:
-
Acceptable File Types: MP3 (.mp3), WAV (.wav), MIDI (.mid), REAL (.rm, .ra)
-
Max Audio/Music Space: 1 MB across entire account
Please Note: It is critical to respect copyright issues when uploading music. You may only upload audio files which you own or have licensed the rights to use. LifeQuarters is a company who cares about artists and the rightful owners of copyrighted materials!
Guestbook - In your guests' own words...
This is a real favorite among guests since it gives them the opportunity to send you their message right on your website!
Your guestbook offers two unique settings:
- Instant Approval: Have all entries immediately appear on your website once they are submitted.
OR
- Review Approval: For greater protection, set your guestbook to save all posts for review. This means you must sign in to your LifeQuarters Hub to approve all entries before they will be displayed on your website.
Once you have received more than ten entries to your guestbook, our system will automatically add "Next" and "Previous"
buttons onto this feature to allow your guests to easily scroll through them, with each page containing ten entries. This
makes it much more manageable (and enjoyable!) for your guests to load and view. So convenient!
You can create multiple guestbooks on any page, and each guestbook can collect an unlimited number of entries. Even add a
custom title and caption to each guestbook!
Many of our customers choose to get a little creative with this feature and add an extra one on for purposes other than
collecting messages. Popular ideas include:
- Song requests
- Ongoing discussion forum
- Menu suggestions (fun if you're still deciding what/what not to serve)
- Ideas for games, etc.
- Request for stories and andecdotes
Unlimited Custom Pages - Your own ideas...
That's right...we said UNLIMITED pages!
This is the perfect opportunity to display any and all content you wish to share on your website. Many
popular page ideas include:
- Thank yous
- Dedications and tributes
- Favorite memories
- A pets page
- Favorite poems or verses
- A behind the scenes look at planning the event
- Extended family introductions
- Last minute announcements
- Host/Hostess introductions
- Local attractions/recommendations
- Schedule of events
- FAQs
- Favorite stories
- Personal bios
- Goals and achievements
- Future plans
- Personal contact info
- News and updates
Create an unlimited number of custom pages and title them whatever you like! If you want a page called "Why our Baby is the Best" or "Check out our Fabulous New House"...you can!
Remember: You're in control here. Our system does not limit you to pre-determined pages that do not suit your needs.
|
Integrated Header Image - Worth a thousand words...
Looking for a website design that really matches your event? Then you're going to love how all of our
website designs have a unique, permanent placement for a custom photo of your choice to be directly integrated into the
design you choose.
This means your favorite photo will always appear at the top of your website, which will serve as a beautiful visual
compliment to all pages on your website. As well, it will add that perfect finishing touch!
Our header image specs are simple:
- Acceptable File Types: JPG, .GIF or .PNG
- Max Image Size Before Uploading: 4Mb/Per Image
- Display Size: 150x150 pixels
(our system automatically shrinks and crops the uploaded image to this size if necessary)
With the click of a button in your LifeQuarters Hub you can even turn your header image from a color photo to black and
white!
HTML Rich Text - Highlight and format your words...
Easily customize the text on your website. Underline, bold, change font size, create page breaks, insert bullets and number lists, create links to other pages on your website or to external sites, change text color
and more.
We've made it so simple in your LifeQuarters Hub with our handy toolbar*! Absolutely no coding is involved. Simply highlight
the text, choose the desired style button from our HTML toolbar...and you're done.
It's easy to do and adds a little extra pizzazz!
*toolbar requires Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher on PC to appear
Custom Layout - Arrange exactly how you want...
Having control is good, especially when it comes to the layouts of every page on your website!
In your LifeQuarters Hub you may choose how your images, titles, content and features are arranged and ordered.
It's a lot of fun because you can create an infinite number of looks on your website pages. Our system does not
confine and force you to fit what you want into a limited, pre-determined shell. Instead, we've given you the power to build
exactly as you want.
Be inspired to make each page of your website unique!!
Custom Page Titles - In your own words...
Have it your way! We've given you complete control so you can apply custom page titles* to the pages of your
website.
Feel free to have fun and get creative with this. If you want a page called "An Ode to our Dog Max" or "Why my Baby is the Best", go for it!
*there is an exception with only one page title: the "Welcome" page. This page title is static and cannot be
renamed.
Dynamic Menu Sequence - Line 'em up...
Choose the order of your menu items! With our flexible system, you may easily change the sequence in which the pages on your
website's menu bar appear. The "Welcome" page will always be the landing page on your website, but other
than that, you're free to order all pages exactly how you like.
You'll see what you feel will be a good flow to your website pages as you create them, and this feature lets you
obtain the results you want.
As you continue to build your website, you may also insert or reorder new titles inbetween existing menu
options. So flexible!
Image Customization - Special looks for your special memories...
Easily add borders to your photos, as well as custom titles and captions. Or just resize, rotate or replace them as needed.
Even turn color images to black and white with the click of a button!
In your LifeQuarters Hub you'll have complete control over how your images will appear, and our easy forms make it so simple
to do!

Online RSVP Services - No return postage required...
When you send your guests to your website to RSVP online, you'll eliminate the need to purchase return
postage and RSVP cards!
You'll love the huge savings + your guests will love the convenience = everyone wins!
All you need to do is include your website's web address with your invitations, along with a "Please RSVP
Online By" date...and you're completely set. It just couldn't be easier.
LifeQuarters released a great article on this topic: "The Benefits of Online Wedding RSVPs" which has been published on numerous planning sites.
Oh, and did we forget to mention? When you choose LifeQuarters, you choose to put the best and most customizable online
RSVP services to work for your event! Now that's a smart choice.
Meal Tracking - Menus made easy...
Gather accurate totals of which guests have requested what meal, without the hassle!
When your guests RSVP online through your website, a simple drop-down menu on your RSVP form
enables each guest to easily indicate their meal preference. You even have the option to add an extended menu description
that will let you describe your delicious plans in detail.
The results will be available for immediate viewing in the "Inbox" in your LifeQuarters Hub, which is where all RSVPs are
safely stored with a meal selection tied conveniently into each guest's response. Here you may also print or download custom
lists of total guest counts with meal choices for your caterer.
It's simple to set up too! All you need to do in your LifeQuarters Hub is complete our premade dinner form that lets you
individually enter any meal titles and extended descriptions that you like. Our system then takes the information you
entered and instantly adds it to your RSVP form in an easy drop-down menu for your guests.
Please Note: If you are planning a buffet or having a reception that does not require meal tracking, we've got that covered
too. You are absolutely under no obligation to activate this part of your RSVP form, which means that no drop-down menu will
ever appear on your website.
Multiple Event Management - Let's keep things straight...
If your celebration involves multiple events that span beyond the actual day, we can help! Our online RSVP
services work perfectly with the multiple events surrounding your celebration. Popular events include:
- Rehearsal dinners
- After Parties
- Housewarming parties
- Gift openings
...and any other events you require. With us, it's easy to manage RSVPs for all of your multiple events with
just one account!
Password Protected Events - For invited guests only...
Tactfully approach any multiple events with a limited guest list or only certain invitees...by password protecting them. Or
use this feature just to boost security on your website! All events protected by a password cannot be accessed or
have RSVPs submitted to them until the correct password is supplied by your guests.
You have two unique password protection options:
-
Password protect your entire RSVP page on your website so that the whole page cannot be accessed without the
necessary password.
OR
- Password protect a specific event only on your RSVP page. This means any visitor to your website can
navigate to your RSVP page, but will not be able to proceed with their RSVP until they supply the correct password.
For an example of the second option, please visit our sample couple's RSVP page at:
http://StephLovesMatt.LifeQuarters.com/RSVP.wq and see how we have password protected just one of their three events.
Share Custom RSVP Info - Perfect for very tailored events...
Your RSVP form gives you the opportunity to build in additional details and information you would like to share at this
specific time on your website. Popular choices include:
- Share adult only notice
- Share allergy alerts
- Share dress code guidlines
- Share gift registry info
- Share starting times of events
- Share contact info of the person you've put in charge to answer any further questions
In your LifeQuarters Hub all you have to do is complete our easy form that lets you share custom information right on your
RSVP form! You even get to choose if you want this information to be shared before or after the RSVP process, which means
any details you enter will be displayed either at the beginning of the RSVP process, or at the end.
For an example, please visit our sample RSVP page at: http://StephLovesMatt.LifeQuarters.com/RSVP.wq.
Collect Custom RSVP Info - Personalize for your RSVP needs...
Your RSVP form also gives you the opportunity to collect up to five custom information pieces when your guests RSVP
online on your website. Most popular choices include:
- Collect child care bookings
- Collect hotel booking choices
- Collect expected arrival dates from out of town guests
It's simple to set up too! In your LifeQuarters Hub all you have to do is complete a form that lets you create a question
along with the number of answer options you require. Our system then takes the information you entered and automatically
adds it on to your RSVP form.
When your guests RSVP online through your website, this custom information is displayed as a simple drop-down menu
on your RSVP form that enables each guest to easily indicate their answer to your question. You even have the option to make
your custom collection fields either "required" or "not required".
Print Custom Lists - Get copies in the right hands...
Print customized RSVP lists specific to your needs! Simply select the items you wish to include (ex: first names,
last names, date received, meal choices, etc) and in the order you want and with the click of a button, your LifeQuarters Hub
will immediately generate a printable version of your RSVP list.
Deliver/mail to your party coordinator, caterer or planning committee to keep everyone up-to-date!
Print an unlimited number of lists, anytime you like. Any lists you choose to print will only include the information you
want! So flexible...and a paper copy will always come in handy!
Helpful Hint: Once your event date has passed and it's time for you to start writing thank you notes, you can easily print
a custom list that contains each guest's name and address. This will give you accurate and current contact information so
your "thank yous" can be addressed with no problem!
Download Custom Lists - Another handy format...
Download customized RSVP lists specific to your event needs! Simply select the items (ex: first names, last names, date
received, meal choices, etc) and the order you want and with the click of a button, your LifeQuarters Hub will immediately
generate a downloadable (Excel spreadsheet compatible format) version of your RSVP list.
Deliver/email it to your party coordinator, caterer or planning committee to keep everyone up-to-date!
Remember: You can download an unlimited number of lists, anytime you like. Any lists you choose to download will only
include the information you want!

We've got it taken care of!
Misspelling Catch-All - In case of a "typo"...
Our system has been carefully designed to help out in the case of a mis-typed Subdomain, so your guests will always be able to quickly find your website, even if their spelling isn't perfect!
If one of your guests wanted to visit your website (ex: YourChoice.LifeQuarters.com), but accidentally entered in the wrong prefix, our smart system is ready to assist! In this case, guests will automatically arrive at a page on the LifeQuarters website that contains a friendly "Oops" message which lets them know they have likely mis-typed your web address. This page will prompt them to search for you by name so our system can correctly direct them to your website. Problem solved!
Instant Activation - We take your time seriously...
We know you're very busy and understand how valuable your time is. That's why our fast and secure sign up process
takes less than two minutes to complete...and then you're on your way!
Your website will be immediately live, online and ready to work for you. No waiting!
Unlimited Updates - Change is good...
Want to add, edit or make a change to your website? No problem! Make as many changes as you like. In fact,
we highly recommend this!
After all, updating your website as your event approaches can be very useful for your guests and a lot of fun for
you. Return visitors are sure to appreciate a fresh look or any new information that you wish to share.
You can even completely revamp your website after your event to share photos and highlights, post "thank
yous" to all who helped out, talk about future plans - really anything and everything!
Real-Time Reports - Always stay informed...
Every time your guests visit your website, RSVP online, or leave a message in your
guestbook, the information is immediately available for you to view in your LifeQuarters Hub. It's so convenient!
Our system has been specifically designed with your busy schedule in mind. Most likely, you think you shouldn't have to wait
to view important information like your RSVPs...and we 100% agree with you!
Generous Time Frames - 6, 12, 18, 24 months or more...
There's no need to feel rushed! Your LifeQuarters account can be active for 6, 12, 18 and 24 months or longer...it's up to
you! Just select the account duration that will work the best for your needs, and you're set.
If you happen to change your mind at a later date and wish to keep your website online for a longer duration, you
can do that too! You're welcome to extend your account indefinitely for a very low cost of just $20 per additional
year.
No Guest Advertisements - And that's a promise...
We do not place any ads on your website, as it would not be fair to you or your guests to do so. When your
guests visit your website, they will focus only on you and the excitement of your event!
No ads, no annoying pop-ups, no clutter, no hassle!
24/7 Access and Availability - Anytime...everywhere...
For the convenience of you and your guests, our services are available not just around the clock, but around the
