What to include, when to launch it and ready-to-use wording for the welcome page, your story and the questions every guest asks.

A wedding website saves you from answering the same questions a hundred times. Where do I park? Can I bring a date? What should I wear? Put the answers in one place, add the link to your save the dates and invitations, and your guests will thank you. Below you'll find what to include, when to launch and wording you can copy for every page.

When to launch your wedding website

Have it ready when your save the dates go out: usually four to six months before a local wedding, and eight to twelve months before a destination wedding. You don't need every detail on day one. Start with the date, city and hotel information, then add the schedule, registry and FAQs as plans come together.

7 things every wedding website needs

Date, time & ceremony start. Make the ceremony start time easy to find, and mention if guests should arrive early.
Venue address & parking. Include a map link and where to park or get dropped off.
Hotel block & travel tips. The hotel name, group rate, booking deadline and the closest airport.
Dress code. Name it (black tie, cocktail, garden party) and add a line on what that means for your venue.
RSVP deadline. Repeat it on the home page, the RSVP page and the FAQ.
Registry links. One page with every registry.
Kids & plus-one policy. A clear, kind answer prevents awkward conversations later.

Nice extras: a weekend schedule, your wedding party, things to do in town and a few favorite photos.

"Our Story" examples

Keep it short: how you met, one or two favorite moments and the proposal.

7 We met at a friend's birthday party and talked until the lights came on. Two years, one rescue dog and countless road trips later, he proposed on the beach where we took our first vacation together.
8 Our story started with a swipe right and a very awkward first coffee. Five years later, we're still laughing about it, and now we're getting married.
9 We grew up three streets apart but didn't really meet until our ten-year high school reunion. Some things are worth the wait.

Wedding website FAQ answers

Swap in your own details, then copy the answers into your FAQ page.

10 What should I wear? Our dress code is cocktail attire: suits and ties, cocktail dresses or dressy separates. The ceremony is outdoors on grass, so leave the stilettos at home.
11 Can I bring a plus-one? We'd love to celebrate with everyone, but our venue has limited space, so we can only accommodate the guests named on your invitation. Thank you for understanding!
12 Are kids welcome? We love your little ones, but our wedding will be adults only. We hope you enjoy a night off with us!
13 When should I RSVP? Please RSVP by August 1, so we can give our caterer a final count. You can reply right here on our website.
14 Is there parking at the venue? Yes! Free parking is available in the lot next to the barn.
15 Where should I stay? We've reserved a block of rooms at the Riverside Inn. Mention our names when you book to get the group rate before September 1.
16 Are the ceremony and reception in the same place? Yes, both are at the venue, so there's no need to drive in between.
17 Is it an unplugged ceremony? We're asking guests to put away phones and cameras during the ceremony. Our photographer will capture everything, and we'll share the photos with you.
18 Where are you registered? Your presence is the best gift! If you'd like to give something, you'll find our registry links on the Registry page.
19 Will there be food for dietary restrictions? Yes! Let us know about any allergies or dietary needs on your RSVP, and we'll make sure you're taken care of.
20 Who should I contact with questions? Text or email our maid of honor, Jessica, and she'll get back to you as soon as she can.

Make your website easy to use

Keep the home page short: names, date, city, a photo and a big RSVP button.
Use the same wording everywhere. If the invitation says "cocktail attire," the website should too.
Update it as you go, and remove anything that changes, like an old hotel deadline.
Add a countdown. The free Wedding Countdown app for Android turns your date into a live countdown you can share as a web link, a fun extra for your website and your save the dates.

Need wording for the cards themselves? See our 40 save the date wording examples and 30 wedding invitation wording examples, and design a digital save the date in minutes with our free save the date maker.
