A wedding website is more than just a pretty page, it’s your central hub for all the essential details that don’t quite fit on your invitation. Not sure what to include? Don’t worry, we’ve broken down everything you need to add to your site and why each piece matters for keeping guests informed, excited, and stress-free.
Start With the Basics
Place the key information front and centre so guests can find it at a glance:
Your names (so guests know they’ve landed on the right site)
Wedding date
Start time
Venue(s) and address(es)
This foundational info should be right at the top of your homepage – it’s the first thing everyone will be looking for.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Guests will have questions, and lots of them. An FAQ section is the perfect way to answer common queries in one place, saving you time and back-and-forth texts.
Cover topics like:
Are children invited?
What’s the dress code?
Is transportation provided?

Virtual Wedding Details (If Applicable)
Hosting a livestream or virtual component? Make those details easily accessible. Include:
A direct link to the livestream
Any required passwords
Tech tips like “please stay muted during the ceremony”
This helps virtual guests feel just as included and prepared.
Gift Registry or Cash Fund
Skip putting gift details on your printed invitations – that’s what your website is for. Add:
A link to your wedding registry
Or a thoughtful note and link for a honeymoon or cash fund
This gives guests easy access without the awkwardness.
Travel & Directions
Help out-of-town guests feel at ease by providing:
Full address(es)
An interactive map
Directions from nearby airports or train stations
Car rental info, public transit links, or taxi tips
Parking instructions for drivers
The more detailed, the better!
Accommodation Suggestions
If guests are travelling to celebrate with you, list nearby places to stay:
Hotel names and addresses
Booking links
Any group discount codes
Bonus: Highlight your favourite local spots for a personal touch.
Your Story
Your wedding website is also a celebration of your journey as a couple. Share:
How you met
The proposal story
Favourite memories or inside jokes
A photo gallery
This section brings warmth and personality to your site and helps guests connect even more deeply with your day.

RSVP Instructions
Make RSVPing simple and straightforward. Provide:
A direct link to your RSVP form (Google Forms or built-in website feature)
An RSVP deadline
An email address for questions (consider creating a separate one just for wedding planning)
This ensures everyone knows how to respond and by when.
Dress Code Details
Avoid any guesswork about what to wear by clearly stating your dress code. Be specific (e.g., “Garden party chic” or “Black tie optional”) and feel free to offer inspiration or guidelines if you’re asking for themed attire.

Things to Do Nearby
If your wedding spans multiple days, or there’s a break between the ceremony and reception, offer suggestions for how guests can spend their downtime:
Restaurants and cafés
Museums, galleries, or local landmarks
Parks or hikes
Salons or spas
A mini travel guide shows thoughtfulness and helps guests feel more at home.
Social Media & Etiquette
Want guests to use a custom hashtag? Or maybe you’re planning an unplugged ceremony? This is the perfect place to lay out your expectations.
Explain what the hashtag is, how to use it, and gently ask guests to keep their phones tucked away during certain moments if that’s your preference.

Food Info & Dietary Needs
Let guests know what to expect when it comes to food. You don’t have to post the full menu, but do include:
Meal type (e.g., plated dinner, buffet, cocktail reception)
A place for guests to note dietary restrictions when RSVPing
Everyone will appreciate the heads-up!
Countdown to “I Do”
Adding a countdown timer is a fun way to build excitement. It’s a small touch that makes your website feel dynamic and celebratory.
Day-of Contact Info
You don’t want your phone blowing up while you’re getting ready. Instead, list a reliable contact person for the wedding day – someone who can answer questions or help with directions:
Wedding planner or coordinator
Trusted friend or family member (Best Man, Maid of Honour, etc.)
Make sure this person is in the loop and ready to assist if needed.
