The best way to share a wedding website is inside a message guests already read: a WhatsApp or text with the link and, ideally, the RSVP buttons right under it. Then put the address and a QR code on the save-the-date and the invitation so the printed pieces point to the same place. Email is a backup for guests who do not text, and a group chat is fine for the wedding party but not for the guest list. Below, every channel ranked by how many replies it tends to get, the wording for each, and how to handle a QR code without the common printing mistakes.

The examples assume a site built with the [free wedding website builder](/wedding-website) at an address like ueventi.com/sites/emma-and-james. If you have not chosen the name yet, the [name ideas](/blog/wedding-website-name-ideas) post comes first, because the name is what you are about to print.

## 1\. Send it as an invitation with RSVP buttons

The channel with the most replies is the one where replying is one tap. Eventi sends your invitation as a WhatsApp or SMS message from a business number, with the invitation image or your site link in the message and Yes, No and Not sure buttons underneath. The guest taps a button in the chat; the site is one tap away for anyone who wants the schedule or the hotel details. Each guest’s link is personal, so the site opens already knowing who they are, and their answer lands next to their name in your guest list.

Reminders go out automatically to guests who have not answered, on a schedule you set, and stop the moment someone replies; the mechanics are in [reminders that stop when guests answer](/blog/reminders-that-stop-when-guests-answer). This is the paid part of Eventi - $0.45 per invitation with a $15 minimum, reminders included, on the [pricing page](/pricing) - and it is optional. The site and the RSVP stay free whichever way you share the link. The walkthrough is in [how to send wedding invitations on WhatsApp](/blog/how-to-send-wedding-invitations-on-whatsapp).

> Emma & James are getting married! Saturday, June 13, 2027, in Austin. Everything you need - schedule, hotels, the RSVP - is on our site. Tap a button below to let us know if you can make it, and please reply by May 15.

## 2\. Send a personal text yourself

For a small wedding, or for the handful of guests you want to message personally, a text from your own phone with the link is warm and effective. Write one message, personalize the first line, and send it one at a time rather than as a group. Keep a note of who has answered; by the thirtieth guest you will wish the list tracked itself, which is the case for [collecting RSVPs by text](/blog/rsvp-by-text-or-whatsapp).

> Hi Maya! We finally set a date: June 13 in Austin. All the details are at ueventi.com/sites/emma-and-james, including the RSVP. Would love to have you there.

## 3\. Put the website on the save-the-date

The save-the-date is the first printed piece and the right place to introduce the address. Put it on its own line, in plain letters, with a QR code beside it. You do not need the RSVP on the save-the-date; you need the guest to know the site exists. Three wordings:

> Save the date Emma & James June 13, 2027 - Austin, Texas Details to follow at ueventi.com/sites/emma-and-james

> Emma Rivera and James Carter are getting married Saturday, the thirteenth of June, 2027 Austin, Texas Formal invitation to follow. Travel details and hotel blocks are on our website: ueventi.com/sites/emma-and-james

> We picked a date! June 13, 2027, Austin. Scan the code or visit ueventi.com/sites/emma-and-james for everything else.

If the site is password protected, add “Password: 061327” under the address; more on that in [wedding website password ideas](/blog/wedding-website-password-ideas). If you are deciding whether to print anything at all, the trade-offs are in [wedding website vs paper invitations](/blog/wedding-website-vs-paper-invitations).

## 4\. Put the website on the invitation, instead of a reply card

On the invitation, the address replaces the reply card. One line, usually on a details card or at the bottom of the main card:

> Kindly reply by May 15 at ueventi.com/sites/emma-and-james

> Please RSVP and find travel details at ueventi.com/sites/emma-and-james Password: biscuit

Guests who prefer paper can still call or text you; the site is the default, not the only option. The RSVP deadline on the card must match the one on the site, which is covered in [when your RSVP deadline should be](/blog/wedding-rsvp-deadline).

## 5\. A QR code that actually works

A QR code on a printed piece is useful and easy to get wrong. The process:

1.  Generate the code from the exact site link, not a shortened or tracking link that could expire.
2.  Download it as a vector or at the largest size offered, in black on white.
3.  Print it at least three quarters of an inch wide on a card, and three inches or more on a sign.
4.  Leave a clear margin around it. A border that touches the code stops some phones reading it.
5.  Test it on two different phones, one iPhone and one Android, from the printed proof, not the screen.
6.  Print the address in plain text under the code, for guests who do not scan.

The same code works on the welcome sign at the venue, where it can point to the schedule, the seating chart from the [seating chart maker](/seating-chart-maker), or a photo-upload page after the wedding.

## 6\. Email, group chats and social

### Email

Use it for guests who do not text and for work colleagues. Subject line with your names and the date, the link in the first line, the RSVP deadline in the second. Expect to follow up.

### Group chats

Good for the wedding party, the family planning thread and the people helping on the day. For the guest list it is a bad idea: a post gets buried, half the group will not see it, and the people who do will reply in the chat instead of on the site.

### Social media

Only if the site is password protected and hidden from search, and only if you are comfortable with people you did not invite knowing the date. Most couples skip it and send the link directly.

## What to do when the link changes

Links change when a couple renames the site or moves platforms. Avoid it by choosing the name before anything is printed. If it happens anyway: resend the new link in a message to the whole list, update the QR code before the next printed piece, and keep the old name reserved if the platform allows so the old link redirects. On Eventi, edits to the site never change the link; only renaming does.

## How often to remind

Share the link three times across the engagement: on the save-the-date, with the invitation, and in a reminder two weeks before the RSVP deadline. After the deadline, one final message to anyone who has not replied. If Eventi sends the invitations, the reminders are automatic and stop for each guest the moment they answer. The wording for each round is in [RSVP reminder templates](/blog/rsvp-reminder-wording), and the limit before it becomes a nuisance is in [how many RSVP reminders is too many](/blog/how-many-rsvp-reminders-is-too-many).

A link shared in a chat gets opened; a link printed on a card gets kept. Do both. The site, the RSVP and the QR code cost nothing; the one thing worth paying for, if your list is long, is having the invitation delivered with reply buttons so the answers come back without you chasing them.
