How I Built a Wedding Management Website Using React and Tailwind

In this post, I’ll walk you through how I built a Wedding Management Website using React JS and Tailwind CSS. This project was a personal initiative to practice my frontend skills and help users plan their wedding events in an organized way.

🌟 Features of the Website

• Add/manage wedding events (like reception, engagement)
• RSVP form for guests
• Schedule and countdown timer
• Gallery for memories
• Contact form

🛠️ Tools & Technologies Used

• React JS – frontend framework
• Tailwind CSS – styling
• Vite – for fast React setup
• EmailJS – to send emails from contact form
• GitHub – version control
• Netlify – free hosting

⚙️ Project Setup

Use these terminal commands to start a new React project with Vite and Tailwind:

npm create vite@latest wedding-website --template react
cd wedding-website
npm install
npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer
npx tailwindcss init -p

📁 Folder Structure

/src
  /components
    Navbar.jsx
    EventCard.jsx
  /pages
    Home.jsx
    Contact.jsx
  App.jsx

💡 Key Components Explained

EventCard.jsx

export default function EventCard({ title, date }) {
  return (
    <div className="bg-white p-4 shadow-md rounded-xl">
      <h2 className="text-xl font-bold">{title}</h2>
      <p>{date}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

This EventCard component takes in title and date props to display wedding events.

🎨 Styling with Tailwind CSS

<button className="bg-pink-500 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded-full">
  RSVP Now
</button>

Tailwind helps quickly apply styles directly in the class names. No need for custom CSS files unless needed.

🚀 Hosting on Netlify (Free)

Steps to host your React site on Netlify:

1. Push your code to GitHub
2. Go to Netlify.com
3. Connect your GitHub repo
4. Click “Deploy Site”

⚠️ Challenges Faced

• Learning component structure took time
• Handling form submissions without a backend
• Styling responsiveness for mobile

✅ Final Thoughts & Demo

This project helped me grow my React and Tailwind skills. I plan to add more features like login or admin panel.
