What Should a Wedding Website Include? A Complete Checklist for Couples
Most couples do not realize something is missing from their wedding website until the questions start coming in.
Guests want to know when to arrive, where to stay, what to wear, whether they can bring a plus-one, and what happens after the ceremony.
A good wedding website puts those answers in one clear place. Here is the checklist we recommend.
What Should Be on the Homepage?
Your homepage should confirm that guests are in the right place and give them the essentials immediately: your names, wedding date, location, and a clear path to the rest of the site.
It should also begin setting the tone for the celebration through your imagery, colors, typography, and overall feel.
Do You Need an “Our Story” Section?
Not necessarily, but it can make the site feel more personal. A short version of your story gives guests more context about your relationship and creates a warmer introduction to the wedding beyond logistics.
What Ceremony Details Should You Include?
Include the venue name, exact address, ceremony time, recommended arrival time, parking information, and any accessibility details guests should know.
The more specific you are here, the fewer last-minute questions you will receive.
What Reception Information Should Guests Know?
Clarify where the reception is taking place, when cocktail hour begins, whether guests need transportation between locations, and anything important about the setting or schedule.
Do not assume everyone knows what happens after the ceremony.
What Should Be Included in the RSVP?
Your RSVP should clearly communicate the deadline, which events each guest is invited to, plus-one information, meal selections, and any other details you need to finalize your headcount.
Keep the guest experience simple, even if there is more happening behind the scenes.
What Accommodation Information Should You Share?
Include hotel blocks, booking links, reservation deadlines, and any alternative accommodations you recommend. If guests are traveling, it is also helpful to explain which areas are most convenient to stay in.
What Travel Information Should Go on a Wedding Website?
For destination and out-of-town weddings, include airport options, transportation recommendations, venue transfers, and anything guests need to know about getting around once they arrive.
How Specific Should the Dress Code Be?
Very.
If the dress code could be interpreted in different ways, add a short explanation or visual examples. Guests would rather have too much clarity than spend the week before your wedding wondering whether their outfit is appropriate.
Where Should You Put the Registry?
Keep it simple and link directly to your registry. There is usually no need to make this section more complicated than it needs to be.
What Should Be Included in the FAQ?
Use your FAQ to answer the questions guests are most likely to ask, including children, plus-ones, transportation, dress code, timing, accessibility, weather, and anything specific to your venue or destination.
If you are already receiving the same question repeatedly, add it here.
Should You Add a Photo Gallery?
This is optional, but engagement photos and candid images can make the site feel much more personal and help carry the visual story of your wedding throughout the experience.
