What to put on a wedding website: every section, FAQ examples and wording

What a wedding website should include: the quick checklist

• Homepage: your names, the date and a photo.
• Schedule and venues, each with a map.
• RSVP with a deadline.
• Dress code, if there is one.
• Your story, in a few lines.
• Registry or cash fund details, if you want.
• Shuttle and welcome party, if you’re organizing them.
• Photos and a shared album for after the wedding.

Homepage: names, date and save to calendar

It is the first thing guests see when they open the link and what shows up when it is shared in a text, so the photo matters: good light, faces visible and framed for a phone. Underneath, your names the way your friends say them and the full date, with the button that saves it to their phone’s calendar.

Your story: how to write it without sounding like a speech

Three or four sentences are enough: how you met, a detail only you two tell that way and why you want to celebrate with the person reading. For example: “We met on a train that was two hours late. Eight years on, we’re still late to everything — just together.” It is the most shared part of the site.

Schedule, venues and dress code: what guests ask most

List each part of the day with its time and address: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after-party. Every venue links to its map, so nobody asks where it is again. If there’s a dress code, spell it out with examples (“black tie optional: suits or tuxedos, long or cocktail dresses”); if there isn’t, leave the field empty and it won’t show.

The RSVP section

Collect replies on the site itself, with a deadline and only the questions you’ll use: attending or not, who with, meal choice and shuttle. Here is what to put on your wedding RSVP, with wording examples.

Registry or cash fund

Put it at the end with a note in your own words: bank details, a link to your registry or both. One warm sentence takes the awkwardness away.

“Having you with us is the greatest gift. If you’d like to give something more, you’ll find our registry and fund details here.”

Wedding website FAQ: the questions guests ask, and where to answer them

• Are kids invited? Say it on the invitation and set how many plus-ones each guest can bring.
• Can I bring a date? The plus-one limit answers it when they RSVP.
• What should I wear? In the dress code field.
• Where do I park, how do I get there? In each venue’s address and, if there’s a shuttle, in its RSVP question.
• Is there a vegetarian option? In the meal choices guests pick when they RSVP.
• Where do I upload photos? In the shared album.

What not to put on a wedding website

Anyone with the link can open it, so leave off your home address, personal phone numbers and photos you don’t want circulating. You also don’t need to say everything: if a section doesn’t apply to your wedding, switch it off. A short site gets read in full.

Photos, a shared album and music

Add a few photos of the two of you and a link to a shared album so guests can upload theirs after the wedding. If you like the idea, link a collaborative Spotify playlist and let every guest add the song they want to dance to.
