What to put on your wedding website: the complete checklist

The essentials

• Your names and the date.
• The venue (or venues), with the full address and a map.
• Timings for the day: arrival, ceremony, drinks, dinner, evening, carriages.
• Any other events: welcome drinks the night before, a brunch the day after.
• The RSVP, with a clear reply-by date.

The practical details

• Dress code, in plain words (“lounge suits, comfortable shoes for grass”).
• Children: whether they’re invited, and to which parts of the day.
• Parking and getting there: the nearest station, taxi numbers, whether you’ve arranged a coach.
• Accessibility: steps, distances, seating, quiet spaces.
• Food: that you’ll ask about meals and dietary needs when they reply.

Travel and places to stay

If anyone is travelling, this section saves the most questions. List nearby hotels and any room blocks with booking codes and the date rooms are released. For a destination wedding, add the nearest airports and how long the transfer takes.

Gifts

Keep it short and kind. If you have a gift list, link to it. If you’d prefer contributions to a honeymoon or a fund, say so simply, and make it clear that coming is what matters.

Your story and photos

A few lines about how you met and a handful of photos make the site feel like yours. Keep it brief; the practical pages are what guests come back to.

Frequently asked questions

A short FAQ catches what’s left: plus-ones, phones during the ceremony, what happens if it rains, who to contact on the day.

What to leave off

• Your home address, unless you’re happy for it to be public.
• Anything you wouldn’t want shared beyond the guest list, if the site isn’t password-protected.
• Long walls of text. Short sections with clear headings are easier on a phone.
