The essentials
If your site has only these, it's already doing its job.
- The basics. Your names, the date and the city. Guests forward this page to babysitters, bosses and travel agents, so make the who-when-where impossible to miss.
- Schedule. Ceremony and reception times, venue names and addresses. If there's a gap between the two, say what guests should do with it.
- Travel and stay. The nearest airport, hotel suggestions or your room block, and how people get from one place to the other. Out-of-town guests read this page more than any other.
- RSVP. Online, with a clear deadline. If you're collecting meal choices or dietary notes, do it here so your caterer gets one clean list instead of forty texts.
- Dress code. Two sentences save a hundred worried messages. "Cocktail attire, the ceremony is on grass" tells everyone exactly what to do with their shoes.
- Registry. Link it from the website. This is the polite home for it.
Registry links live on the website, never on the invitation. The invitation invites. The website informs.
Nice to have
These are the pages that make a wedding website feel like the two of you instead of a logistics memo.
- Your story. How you met, short and true. Skip the novel. Three good paragraphs beat three pages.
- Photos. Your engagement session, if you had one. A handful of favorites, not the whole shoot.
- Wedding party. Names, faces and one line each. Guests love knowing who's who at the head table.
- Things to do in town. Your favorite coffee shop, a good walk, where to get a late bite. Guests making a weekend of it will thank you.
- A guest FAQ. Kids or no kids, plus-ones, parking, weather. Every question answered here is a text you never receive.
If the celebration is adults only, the website is where you say it, kindly and once. "We love your little ones, and this evening is for the grown-ups." Then let the RSVP form quietly hold the line.
What can wait
Couples stall on their website because they don't have every detail yet. You don't need every detail. Launch the site when your save-the-dates go out, then add the rest as it firms up.
- The final timeline. Exact ceremony start, cocktail hour, last dance. Add it when the day is set.
- Meal choices. Menus usually land a few months out. The RSVP form can grow when they do.
- Shuttle and transport details. Confirm the logistics, then post them.
- Hotel room block codes. Add them when the hotel gives them to you.
The one thing that shouldn't wait is the site itself. The moment save-the-dates land, guests start looking for it.
