A wedding website holds everything your invitation cannot fit, so guests check it instead of texting you. At minimum it needs your names and date, the ceremony and reception addresses and times, an RSVP form with a deadline, the dress code, accommodation and travel details, and your gift preferences. Below is what to put on each page, what to add for a destination or multi-day wedding, when to launch it and what still belongs on paper.
The site does three jobs. It holds the information that would overload your invitation, it lets you update details when plans change, and it gives every guest one place to check before they message you.
Even a small, local celebration benefits from a single RSVP form and a page for last-minute changes. For destination weddings, multi-day celebrations or guest lists spread across countries, it becomes the main way guests plan their trip.
Your names, the date, a photo and a one-line location. Many guests visit once and screenshot the key details, so keep the essentials visible without scrolling.
Full addresses for both venues with map links, a guest arrival time and the actual ceremony start time. Note parking, accessibility and how far the reception is from the ceremony if they are in different places.
Make it easy to find, with a respond-by date, meal choices if you are offering them, a field for dietary requirements and clear wording on whether plus-ones or children are included. The wedding RSVP guide covers deadlines and chasing late replies.
A single word such as "cocktail" can confuse guests, so explain what it means for your venue and season. Add footwear notes for grass, sand or long walks.
Recommended places to stay, any room block with its booking code and deadline, and the nearest airport. Read how wedding room blocks work explains how to set one up.
Shuttle times and pick-up points if you are providing them, or taxi and rideshare notes otherwise. Include the timing of the last shuttle back.
List everything guests are invited to, from welcome drinks to a recovery brunch. Only show events to the people invited to them, such as a rehearsal dinner for close family and the bridal party.
Registry links, a honeymoon fund or a wishing well note, or a polite request for no gifts. This belongs on the website rather than the printed invitation.
Cover the kids policy, plus-ones, photography rules for an unplugged ceremony, the wet weather plan and any question you have already answered twice.
Optional, but guests enjoy it. Share how you met, introduce your attendants and add a few favourite photos.
Guests travelling overseas need more than an address. Add passport and visa reminders, currency and weather notes, airport transfers, a day-by-day itinerary and local recommendations for anyone staying longer.
If your celebration spans several ceremonies or traditions, such as a mehndi and sangeet before the wedding day or a tea ceremony and banquet, give each event its own section with its dress code and timing, so guests know what to wear and when to arrive. Our destination wedding welcome bag ideas cover what to hand guests once they arrive.
Set the site up before your save the dates go out, since they usually carry the link. Start with the date and location, add travel and accommodation as soon as they are confirmed, and switch on RSVPs when the invitations are sent.
Do a final pass a few weeks before the wedding to add transport details and answer any new questions guests have asked.
Never publish a home address on a public site. Password protection keeps the site to invited guests, but expect a few people to forget the code. A middle path is to keep the site public and avoid full surnames in the web address.
Your printed invitation should still carry the date, ceremony time, venue address and RSVP deadline, so guests who never open the site still arrive in the right place. A small details card in the envelope is the best place to print your website address. On the day, guests need a printed order of service or menu, not a screen.
