Creating a wedding website is one of the best ways to keep your guests informed, excited, and organized leading up to your big day. Think of it as your digital wedding headquarters—a one-stop hub with everything your guests need to know. But what should you actually include? So, let's break down exactly what to put on your wedding website.
1. Your Love Story
Why it matters: Your guests might know you, but not your partner (or vice versa). Sharing your story creates a warm, personal touch.
What to write:
-
How you met
-
The proposal story
-
Fun facts or milestones
-
A few photos (engagement shoot, casual, or throwbacks)
Example section title:
“Our Story” or “How We Met”
2. The Wedding Day Details
Why it matters: Your guests need to know the when and where—clearly and accurately.
What to include:
-
Date and time of the ceremony & reception
-
Venue name(s) and address(es)
-
Dress code
-
Weather tips if outdoors
Example section title:
“The Big Day” or “Event Details”
3. Travel & Accommodation Info
Why it matters: Out-of-town guests will appreciate guidance on where to stay and how to get there.
What to add:
-
Nearby hotels (with booking links or discount codes)
-
Transportation options (airport, parking, shuttles)
-
Local attractions or dining spots
Example section title:

4. Wedding Party Bios
Why it matters: Introduce your VIPs—bridesmaids, groomsmen, or your flower pup!
What to include:
-
Name, photo, and short intro for each person
-
How you know them
-
A fun fact or memory
Example section title:

5. Registry Info
Why it matters: Guests will be looking for gift ideas (even if gifts aren’t expected).
What to include:
-
Direct links to your registry or registries
-
A short note (“Your presence is present enough...”)
-
Group gift or honeymoon fund details (if applicable)
Example section title:

6. Wedding Weekend Schedule
Why it matters: If you’re hosting a weekend of events, help guests keep track.

-
Welcome dinner
-
Morning-after brunch
-
Dress codes or themes for each event

7. FAQs Section
Why it matters: Save yourself a flood of messages by answering common questions ahead of time.
What to include:
-
“Can I bring a plus-one?”
-
“Are kids invited?”
-
“Where should we park?”
-
“Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?”
Example section title:
“Need to Know” or “FAQ”
8. Photo Gallery (Optional)
Why it matters: Let guests browse engagement photos or post-wedding memories later.
What to include:
-
Engagement session photos
-
Childhood or couple photos
-
Post-wedding gallery (update it after the big day!)
9. RSVP Feature
Why it matters: If your website has RSVP functionality, it makes tracking responses easy.
What to add:
-
RSVP deadline
-
Meal selection (if needed)
-
Space for comments or song requests
Tip: Use a platform like Zola, Joy, or The Knot that includes RSVP tools.
Use clear headings, a simple menu, and a mobile-friendly layout. And remember to update it regularly—especially if there are any changes to plans. Your wedding website isn’t just informative—it’s a way to share your excitement with everyone you love. By including the essentials (and a few personal touches), you’ll create a site that’s both helpful and heartfelt.
