What to Include on Your Wedding Website
What to Include on Your Wedding Website (And What to Skip)
A beautiful wedding website = clear guests, fewer DMs, and way more joy.
Your wedding website is more than a digital save-the-date — it’s a one-stop experience for your guests. Done right, it keeps everyone informed, makes RSVP stress-free, and reflects your story and style.
But with so many sections to include, it’s easy to go overboard. Here’s exactly what you should include (and what’s better left out) to create a functional, stylish, and guest-friendly wedding website.
WHAT TO INCLUDE: THE ESSENTIALS
1. Your Names + Wedding Date
Obvious, but don’t bury it in paragraph text. Feature it loud and clear on the homepage. Bonus points for including a monogram or logo.
2. Welcome Message or Couple Story
A short, warm intro that sets the tone. Share:
How you met (briefly!)
Why this wedding is special
A welcome line for guests ("We’re so glad you’ll be part of our celebration!")
3. Event Schedule
Make sure each function includes:
Day & date
Start/end time
Exact venue address (link to Maps)
Dress code
For Indian/multi-day weddings: Use one tab per event or list vertically with icons.
4. Travel & Accommodations
Especially for destination weddings, include:
Nearby airports
Hotel information (link to booking info)
Transportation tips (local taxis, wedding shuttles, etc.)
5. RSVP Portal
Your RSVP form should:
Include conditional logic by guest/event
Ask for email, dietary needs, plus-ones
Confirm each submission
Be mobile-friendly!
Remember to add a deadline and link to a contact in case of issues.
6. Gallery or Engagement Photos
Add 5–10 images that reflect your vibe. Avoid 50+ scrolling shots—this isn’t your photographer’s full portfolio.
7. Contact Info / FAQ
Anticipate questions like:
“Can I bring my kids?”
“Where should I park?”
“What’s the dress code for the Sangeet?”
Include a simple contact email or phone number / WhatsApp link.
WHAT TO SKIP: TO KEEP IT SIMPLE
1. Your Entire Life Story
Keep your “About Us” charming and brief. Save the novel for your vows.
2. Full Menu or Vendor List
No one needs to see your caterer’s resume. You can highlight a signature drink or menu item, but keep the vendor list private.
3. Password-Protected Walls (Unless You Have to)
If your wedding is private or high-profile, sure. Otherwise, passwords confuse older guests. Use personal RSVP links or email validation instead.
4. Registry Pop-Ups on Every Page
Mention your registry once—on a separate tab or linked in the RSVP confirmation.
5. Embarrassing or Ultra-Personal Stories
Keep it PG and inclusive. This is for family, friends, and maybe your great-uncle with a smartphone.
“Your wedding website should feel like a modern-day patrika / kankotri—beautiful, informative, and designed with love. Keep it focused, mobile-friendly, and visually aligned with your invitations or wedding brand.”
