blog/cms advice

[roguemat]

So I need to build a very basic site. Its for my wedding, so its basically a few different pages with info, and then an RSVP page, and a gallery page. I usually hate bloggy type things, and usually build stuff from scratch, but I really really don't have the time. This also means that I don't know what I am meant to use.

So the requirements are:
-must run on a dedicated windows server with iis6
-must use no sql dB, but rather a sql lite or xml db, so that I don't have to set anything up
-must be a simple install. I don't want to mess with scripts
-needs an advanced form creator for the rsvp page. Preferably I would like the form to be emailed.
-easily themeable

Ok so what blog or cms engine supports my requirements?

I appreciate the help.

Joomla?

I would recommend WordPress, it is easy to install, and has a lot of free themes available if you do not want to spend some money. There is also a lot of plug-ins available.

+1 to wordpress for your needs. Easy as pie. Even for ne who doesnt do any scripting at all.

Why bother with running your own? http://squarespace.com

If you okay with HTML but short of time, how about just getting a HTML template and using that? Are your guests all advanced enough to use an online RSVP or are you just being too geeky on this one?

Wow, WP is dead simple Thanks for the suggestion guys!
By the way, I downloaded WebMatrix, and 2 clicks later it installed it all including MySql. Sweet.

@nic777, I'm fine with the coding side, but I hate HTML with a passion. And yeah, all the people know how to use the internet. My gran has her own laptop and Skype's my parents overseas
We are having a homemade steel remote tank bringing the rings up the isle to the BF3 music, amongst many many other things - so anything less geeky than a site just wouldnt do the rest of the wedding justice.
