THE ULTIMATE WEDDING WEBSITE CHECKLIST

These are the pages that every wedding website needs. They are the backbone of your site, providing your guests with the critical information they need to celebrate with you.

WELCOME / HOME PAGE

A beautiful engagement photo of you and your partner, a warm welcome message, and a clear call to action to explore the site. This page sets the tone for your entire website.

OUR STORY

Share your unique love story! Talk about how you met, your first date, and the proposal. This is a chance to let your personalities shine and get your guests excited about your journey.

KEY DETAILS (DATE, TIME, LOCATION)

The non-negotiable details. Clearly state the date, time, and specific location(s) for your ceremony and reception.

TRAVEL & ACCOMMODATION

If you have out-of-town guests, this is a lifesaver. List nearby hotels (with booking links if available), airport information, and directions to the venue(s). You can also provide details about group rates or room blocks.

RSVP

This is where the magic happens! A digital RSVP form makes it simple for guests to confirm their attendance, select their meal choice, and provide any dietary restrictions. A personalized wedding website with an integrated RSVP tracker will save you hours of time and effort.

REGISTRY

Politely and clearly link to your wedding registries. Many couples link to a few different retailers or use a service that allows guests to contribute to a honeymoon fund.

WEDDING PARTY

Introduce your bridesmaids and groomsmen with a photo and a short bio for each. It’s a great way to honor your friends and family and help guests put a face to the names.

OPTIONAL, BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FEATURES

Once you have the essentials covered, these pages can take your wedding website to the next level.

FAQs (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)

A dedicated FAQ section can prevent your phones from ringing off the hook with questions. Address topics like the dress code, whether children are invited, and transportation details.

PHOTO GALLERY

A beautiful gallery to showcase your engagement photos or favorite photos of you as a couple. It’s a visual treat for your guests and a wonderful way to personalize the site.

WEDDING WEEKEND SCHEDULE

If you have multiple events planned (rehearsal dinner, welcome party, post-wedding brunch), a schedule page is crucial. It keeps everyone informed and on time.

THINGS TO DO IN THE AREA

This is a thoughtful touch for out-of-town guests. Provide a list of your favorite local restaurants, attractions, or hidden gems.

WHAT TO SKIP (OR AT LEAST THING TWICE ABOUT)

Not every feature is right for every couple. Here’s what you might want to skip to keep your site clean and focused.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION

While sharing details is good, avoid overwhelming guests with excessively long, wordy descriptions or every single picture from your relationship. Keep it concise and to the point.

PASSWORD PROTECTION (UNLESS NECESSARY)

Unless you have a specific reason (like a very private ceremony), avoid password-protecting your entire site. It creates an unnecessary barrier for guests. Your personalized wedding website service can provide password protection for specific pages if needed.

A DETAILED TIMELINE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP

While your love story is important, you don’t need to list every single date and event. Stick to the highlights!
