Planning a wedding comes with enough decisions to fill a small novel…Your wedding website shouldn’t be one of them. Done well, it’s the central hub that answers guest questions before they ask them, keeping your inbox quiet and your stress level low.

As a wedding planner who values a calm planning process, here’s exactly what to put on your wedding website to make your big day as seamless as possible for you and your guests.

1. Your Story & Photos

Guests love knowing how you met, how the proposal happened, and what makes your relationship yours. Keep it sweet and simple, this isn’t a memoir, just a warm introduction. A few favorite photos make it feel personal and inviting without overwhelming the page.

2. The Wedding Day Schedule

Share the basics:

• Ceremony start time
  
• Cocktail hour
  
• Reception events
  
• Estimated end time
  

Setting expectations helps guests plan transportation, meals, naps, babysitters, and shoe choices accordingly.

3. Dress Code (Seriously, Don’t Skip This)

This is one of the most commonly forgotten details, and one of the most important. Be specific:

• “Black tie preferred”
  
• “Garden party chic”
  
• “Beach formal”
  

Guests want to feel confident walking in. A quick sentence saves everyone from that “Am I underdressed?” moment.

4. Travel Information for Out-of-Town Guests

Travel can feel like a scavenger hunt if guests are left guessing. Make it easy with:

• Airport suggestions
  
• Local transportation options
  
• Parking instructions
  
• Venue accessibility notes
• Any booked shuttle/bus information

5. Hotel Room Block Information

Give guests one place to find:

• Hotel options
  
• Booking links
  
• Discount codes or links
  
• Cut-off dates
  

Most guests won’t book early unless you make it simple, and this is where a room block can save major time, money, and guest confusion. 

This is also where having a travel-savvy planner in your corner is gold. (As a certified travel advisor, I can handle your hotel room block contract for you.)

6. RSVP Instructions

Whether your RSVP is online or via mail, be crystal clear:

• How to RSVP
  
• What to include (meal choices, song requests, etc.)
  
• Deadline
  

All wedding websites have an RSVP tracker built in. This is definitely the easiest way for your guests, and for you to monitor attendance, meal counts, and any other questions you want to ask your guests.

7. Wedding Party Introductions

Introduce your VIPs with a short line or two. It’s a fun way to include the people who’ve supported your love story, and it helps guests feel more connected on the wedding day.

8. Things to Do in the Area

Guests often turn a wedding into a mini-vacation. Help them make the most of it! Share your favorite:

• Restaurants
  
• Local attractions
  
• Activities
  
• Hidden gems
  

This is one of the most appreciated sections, especially for destination or semi-destination weddings.

9. Your Registry

A direct link to your registry is helpful, not tacky. Just add a friendly intro like:

“We’re so excited to celebrate with you! If you’d like to send a gift, here are some things we’ve chosen for our home.”

Easy. Clear. Polite.

If you’re not doing a registry, it’s still nice to include a blurb about how the guests’ presence is all the present you need. That way guests aren’t left in the dark wondering where your registry is. 

10. A Clear Kids Policy

One of the most sensitive topics…and one of the most frequently asked questions.

Be warm and direct:

• “We love your little ones, but this celebration is adults-only.”
  
• “Children are welcome! Here’s what we have planned for them…”
  

Your website lets you share your policy clearly without awkward conversations.

11. Accessibility & Dietary Information

An inclusive wedding is a thoughtful wedding. Consider adding notes on:

• Wheelchair accessibility
  
• Seating accommodations
  
• Dietary options
  
• Quiet spaces
  
• Gender-neutral restrooms if available
  

Small touches make a big difference for guests who want to feel comfortable and considered.

12. A Helpful FAQ Page (Your Stress-Saver!)

The FAQ page is your wedding website MVP. Include answers to:

• What should I wear?
  
• Is parking available?
  
• Are plus-ones invited?
  
• Are kids welcome?
  
• Will transportation be provided?
  
• What time do doors open?
• What shoes are best for the terrain? 

Think of this as the “prevent my phone from buzzing constantly” section, because it truly does.
