Just as a bit of an introduction, this article refers to the wedding website I am making to manage the guests that are coming to my wedding. So far, the website has guests, it has locations (places where events for the wedding will occur) and it has pages to manage these entities. Also, by the power of Django, guests can already login and see a blank page. You may be wondering why anyone would want to login to view a blank page, and my answer is they wouldn't want to. So today I started researching how best to display the invitations. For the invitations I have a few requirements, they should have an image background, then there is a certain amount of static text in a certain font, and the name of the guest in a separate font. The names have to be added later and preferably by a script as I do not want to sit around for several hours and insert names into the invitations, file by file.

I am getting married. It does not come as a shock to anyone who knows me as it has been quite a while coming. However, not content to send out normal invitations I have decided to make a wedding website to host invitations, send out e-mail notifications and track RSVPs.

I would like to share the journey of its development, until it is ready.
