Your wedding website is one of the easiest ways to keep your guests informed, organized and excited about your celebration.
Instead of answering the same questions over and over again — Where is the ceremony? What time should we arrive? Is there a dress code? Where should we stay? — your wedding website gives your guests one beautiful place to find everything they need.
But what exactly should you include on a wedding website?
From the essential details to the little extras that make the experience feel personal, here is the ultimate wedding website checklist.
Wedding Website Checklist
Before we go into detail, here is a quick checklist of the most important things to include on your wedding website:
- Your names and wedding date
- Wedding venue and location
- Ceremony and reception details
- Wedding day schedule
- RSVP
- Dress code
- Travel information
- Accommodation recommendations
- Frequently asked questions
- Registry information
- Your story
- Engagement photos
- Contact information
- Local recommendations for your guests
You may not need every single section, but your wedding website should answer the questions your guests are most likely to have before your celebration.
1. Your Names & Wedding Date
It sounds obvious, but your names and wedding date should be one of the first things guests see when they arrive on your website.
Think of your homepage as the digital version of your save the date.
Keep it simple and beautiful. Your names, wedding date and location are usually enough to introduce the celebration.
For example:
Amelia & James
September 18, 2027
Provence, France
If you're planning a destination wedding or a multi-day celebration, you can also add a short welcome message underneath.
An elegant wedding website homepage featuring the couple's names, wedding date and celebration details.
2. Wedding Venue & Location
Your guests should never have to search through old messages to figure out where your wedding is taking place.
Include the full name and address of your ceremony and reception venues, especially if they are taking place in different locations.
You can also include practical information such as parking, transportation or directions.
For destination weddings, consider adding the nearest airport or train station as well.
Tip: If your venue is difficult to find, adding a Google Maps link can make your guests' experience much easier.
3. Your Wedding Day Schedule
A clear wedding timeline helps guests know exactly where they need to be — and when.
Depending on your celebration, your schedule might include:
3:30 PM — Guest Arrival
4:00 PM — Ceremony
5:00 PM — Cocktail Hour
6:30 PM — Dinner
8:30 PM — Dancing
For wedding weekends, you can also include welcome drinks, rehearsal dinners, brunches or other events taking place before and after the wedding.
4. RSVP
Your wedding website can make collecting RSVPs much easier.
Create a dedicated RSVP section where guests can confirm whether they will be attending.
Depending on your wedding, you may also want to ask about:
- Meal preferences
- Dietary restrictions
- Plus ones
- Attendance at additional wedding events
- Song requests
Make sure your RSVP deadline is clearly visible so guests know when they need to respond.

5. Dress Code
One of the most common questions wedding guests have is simple:
What should I wear?
Your wedding website is the perfect place to answer it.
Rather than simply writing “formal,” you can give guests a little more guidance.
For example:
Black Tie
We kindly invite our guests to dress in formal evening attire. Tuxedos and floor-length gowns are encouraged.
Or:
Garden Formal
Think elegant summer dresses, suits and soft seasonal colors. As part of the celebration will take place outdoors, we recommend comfortable footwear.
If your wedding has a particular color palette or aesthetic, your website can also visually help guests understand the atmosphere of the day.
6. Travel Information
Travel information is particularly important for destination weddings or celebrations where many guests will be travelling from another city or country.
Consider including:
- Closest airport
- Train stations
- Transportation options
- Car rental information
- Taxi recommendations
- Shuttle information
- Approximate travel times
Keep everything in one place so guests don't need to organize their trip using several different messages.
7. Accommodation Recommendations
If guests will need somewhere to stay, create a dedicated accommodation section.
Include a small selection of hotels at different price points rather than an overwhelming list.
For each recommendation, you can include:
Hotel name
Distance from the venue
Approximate price range
Booking information
If you've arranged a hotel block or special wedding rate, make sure the booking deadline and instructions are clearly displayed.
8. Frequently Asked Questions
A wedding FAQ might be one of the most useful sections of your entire website.
Think about every question your guests could potentially text you in the weeks leading up to your wedding and answer it here instead.
Some useful wedding website FAQ questions include:
Can I bring a plus one?
Are children invited?
What should I wear?
Is there parking at the venue?
Will transportation be provided?
Can I take photographs during the ceremony?
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
What time should I arrive?
Who should I contact if I have a question?
You can always add new questions as your wedding approaches.
9. Your Wedding Registry
If you have created a wedding registry, your website is one of the easiest places to share it.
Create a simple registry section with links directing guests to your chosen stores or registry platforms.
If you would prefer contributions toward your honeymoon or another experience, you can explain this here too.
Keep the wording warm and understated — your registry should be easy to find without becoming the focus of your wedding website.
10. Your Story
Not every wedding website needs an “Our Story” page, but it can be a lovely way to make your website feel more personal.
You could share:
- How you met
- Your first date
- The proposal
- A favorite memory
- A few words about your life together
You don't need to write an essay.
A few meaningful paragraphs paired with your favorite photographs are often more beautiful than an extremely detailed timeline of your relationship.
11. Your Engagement Photos
Your wedding website is the perfect place to use your engagement photographs.
Add a few throughout the website rather than placing every photograph into one enormous gallery.
You can use them on your homepage, alongside your story or as subtle backgrounds throughout different sections.
This is also one of the easiest ways to make a wedding website template feel completely unique to your celebration.
12. Local Recommendations
If many of your guests are travelling for your wedding, give them a little insider guide to the destination.
You could recommend your favorite:
- Restaurants
- Cafés
- Bars
- Beaches
- Museums
- Shops
- Things to do
This isn't essential, but it's a thoughtful addition — especially for destination wedding weekends where guests may be staying for several days.
13. Contact Information
Finally, give guests a way to contact someone if they have a question that isn't answered on the website.
That doesn't necessarily have to be you.
You could provide the contact details of your wedding planner, maid of honor, best man or another trusted person who can help with practical questions.
What Should You NOT Put on Your Wedding Website?
Just because you can add something doesn't mean you should.
Avoid overwhelming guests with enormous blocks of text or unnecessary information.
Your wedding website should feel effortless to navigate.
Prioritize the details guests genuinely need and organize everything into clear sections.
And remember: many guests will visit your wedding website from their phones, so keeping the design clean and easy to navigate is just as important as the information itself.
