To create a wedding website, choose a builder, pick a template that fits your celebration, set your web address, add the core pages, set up your RSVP questions, test it on a phone and share the link with your save the dates. A builder such as Wonderland Studio lets you start with the basics and fill in the rest once bookings are confirmed.
Most wedding website builders are free to start, so the real differences are in what happens after a guest replies. Look at whether the RSVP form can ask custom questions, whether it handles more than one event, and whether the answers flow into a guest list you can use for seating and catering.
In Wonderland Studio, RSVP answers feed the guest list, and dietary replies carry through to the seating plan and the menu, so you don't retype them for the venue. If you want to compare it with Zola, The Knot, Joy and others side by side, see our guide to the best wedding website builders.

Start from the template closest to your wedding. Colours and fonts are easy to change later, but the page structure is not.
For multi-day and multicultural weddings, Wonderland Studio's six templates are organised by tradition, from South Asian and Arab to Chinese, Mediterranean, Afro-Caribbean and Western, and each comes with sections for its ceremonies, accommodation and guest questions already in place. The South Asian template, for example, comes with the mehndi, sangeet, baraat and pheras laid out. For a closer look at all six, plus 19 sites real couples built, see our wedding website examples.
Your builder will give you an address based on your names. Keep it short enough to print on a details card and type on a phone, and avoid anything easily misspelt.
If you'd rather not have full surnames in a public link, use first names or initials with the year. Our wedding website guide covers privacy and passwords in more detail.

Start with the pages guests check most, then add the rest as plans are confirmed:
Gifts, your story and the wedding party can come later. Our full list of what to include on your wedding website covers what goes on each page.

Decide what you need to know before the link goes out, because changing questions after guests reply leaves gaps. Ask for each guest's name, whether they're coming, their meal choice if you're offering one, and any dietary needs. Our wedding RSVP guide explains when to set the reply date and how to follow up.
For a destination wedding, also ask where guests are travelling from and when they arrive and leave. Wonderland Studio's guest list asks for each guest's city and country, which helps with transfers, room blocks and time zones. If parts of your guest list are invited to only some events, check that your builder can show each guest only their own.

Open the site on your phone, logged out, and go through it as a guest would. Submit a test RSVP, check that every link and map works, and make sure the date and times match your invitations.
Then ask one person who knows nothing about the plans to find the dress code and the RSVP deadline. If they can't find either in under a minute, move it higher on the page.
Put the address on your save the dates or a details card in the invitation, and send it to anyone you've already told by message. Our guide on when to launch your wedding website covers the timing.
After that, update it whenever something changes, from a new shuttle time to a weather plan, and tell guests when you do. Once the wedding is over, you can add a thank-you note and a link to your photos.
A wedding website does the most work when guests are travelling. If you're planning abroad, browse our wedding destinations for the places, venues and seasons your site will need to explain.
Wedded Concierge books the venue and suppliers and plans each event, so everything on your site is already confirmed.
