Create and launch your wedding website

What is a wedding website for, anyway?

Think of your wedding website as the ultimate guide to your wedding.

For guests, the wedding website is an invaluable catch-all resource. It will include:

Answers to all of their most frequently asked questions, including information about dress code, gift registries, and wedding day itinerary

A travel planner for out-of-town guests looking for lodging options

For you, the wedding website serves more practical purposes. You can use it to keep track of the logistics of planning, including:

Guest list and RSVPs

Registries and gifts received

Photos

Vendors

Budget

Timeline

… and much more.

Of course, the focus isn’t only on function. Creating your perfect wedding website, especially together, helps you get psyched for your big day. It allows you to really dive into the wedding-planning mindset by thinking about what information you want your guests to know.

What do you need on your wedding website?

At minimum, your wedding website should have the date, time, and place of your ceremony and reception. Think of it as a save-the-date that your guests can check from anywhere.

Your wedding invitation is your guests' first peek into your wedding day, so you want to make it shine

Define Your Wedding Style

Along with listing the location and time of day, the invitation—and, more specifically, its style—hints to the formality of your wedding. You should have an idea of the type of event you're throwing—classic and elegant, casual and relaxed, or glam and modern—before you start shopping for stationery, so you can choose an invitation style that hits the same note. Then browse stationers' websites and others couples' wedding invitations to gather inspiration so you can give your stationer an idea of what you like.
