Ideas for Your Wedding Website

A wedding website can be a simple noticeboard with a date and an address, or it can be the tool that answers every question your guests have before they even ask. Here are concrete ideas, ordered from must-haves to charming extras.
The basics: what every guest looks for
- A front page with your names and the date. It’s the first thing anyone sees when they open the link; make it obvious whose wedding it is and when.
- A countdown. A small detail that builds excitement — and makes the date unmissable.
- The schedule for the day. Ceremony, drinks, dinner, party. With rough times: this is what guests use to arrange babysitters, hotels and trains.
- Maps. A direct Google Maps link for each venue. If the ceremony and the reception are in different places, explain the transfer.
- The RSVP form. The heart of the site: attendance, plus-ones, allergies and bus, with a visible deadline.
Very useful, depending on your wedding
- Transport and parking. Bus times and stops, or where to park. It’s the most repeated question in any wedding group chat.
- Recommended accommodation. Two or three nearby hotels with a price range. If you have a discount code with a hotel, this is where it goes.
- Dress code. Even if it’s just “formal — and please, no white”, it saves you dozens of “what should I wear?” messages.
- Gift registry or contributions. Better with a warm phrase (“your presence is the best gift, but if you’d like to…”) than a bare bank account number. You’ll find ready-to-use wording in our guide to online wedding gifts.
- An add-to-calendar button. An
.icsfile with the date, time and venue. Whoever taps it never forgets the wedding.

- Your story. Three or four paragraphs on how you met. Each family loves getting the gossip on the other.
- A photo gallery. Half a dozen photos of the two of you is plenty; it’s a wedding website, not a full album.
- FAQ. “Can I bring the kids?”, “What time does it end?”, “Will there be a vegetarian option?”. Every question answered here is one WhatsApp message you don’t receive.
- Song requests for the DJ. An optional RSVP question (“which song absolutely has to play?”) fills the dance floor and makes the form fun to complete.
Design advice and common sense
- Think mobile first. The link will be opened from WhatsApp 90% of the time; test it on a phone before sending it.
- Less is more. An elegant typeface, one or two colours and good photos beat any cluttered page.
- Privacy. Your site doesn’t need to show up on Google: guests arrive through your link. Make sure the page isn’t indexed.
- Keep it alive. The great advantage of going online is updating: if the bus time changes, you change it on the site and everyone sees the correct version.
