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.
