Everything else - the story, the wedding party, the photos - is nice to have and worth adding only if you will actually write it. Guests open the site on a phone, usually from a message, and they are looking for one answer at a time: what time, where, what do I wear, can I bring someone, how do I say yes. The checklist below goes page by page, with the exact items each one should hold and the things that are better left off. If you are building with Eventi, the [free wedding website builder](/wedding-website) creates these pages from your event details and the AI writes a first draft of each; you edit the lines that need your voice. The [30 wedding website examples](/blog/wedding-website-examples) show how the pages look once they are filled in. ## Home page: the five things above the fold - Both names, in the order you say them out loud. - The date, written in full (“Saturday, June 13, 2027”), not as numbers. - The city and state, or the venue name if guests will recognize it. - The RSVP button, with the reply-by date next to it. - A welcome of two to four sentences that says what the site is for. One good photo is enough. Couples often put a gallery on the home page and push the date below the fold, which means guests scroll past the thing they came for. Keep the hero simple and put the album on its own page. For wording, the [welcome message examples](/blog/wedding-website-welcome-message-examples) cover every tone from formal to funny. ## Schedule: times, places, and what to wear The schedule is the page guests return to most, including on the day itself. Each event on it should have: - A name guests understand (“Ceremony”, “Welcome drinks”, “Sunday brunch”). - The date, start time and, if it matters, the end time. - The venue with a map link. If two events are in different places, say how to get between them. - The dress code for that event, in one line, if it differs from the rest. - Who is invited, if any event is not for everyone (“Rehearsal dinner: wedding party and family”). Write times guests should arrive by, not times the ceremony begins, or say both: “Please be seated by 4:45 for a 5:00 start.” Ten ready-to-adapt layouts are in the [schedule examples](/blog/wedding-website-schedule-examples), and the [dress code wording](/blog/wedding-website-dress-code-wording) post has copy-paste lines for every level of formality. ## Travel and stay: the page out-of-town guests read first - The nearest airports, with drive time to the venue and to the hotels. - Hotel names with the room-block code, the rate, the booking link and the cutoff date in bold. - Whether there is a shuttle, with times and pickup points. - Parking at the venue, and whether rideshare works late at night in that area. - For a destination wedding: passports, currency, weather, and which meals are hosted. Put the cutoff date for the room block on this page and in the welcome message. It is the single most missed deadline on any wedding site. The [destination wedding website guide](/blog/destination-wedding-website-guide) expands this page into a full travel section for weddings abroad. ## FAQ: the questions guests will text you otherwise An FAQ page saves you the same twelve conversations. Start with the questions you have already been asked and add these if they apply: - What should I wear? - Can I bring a date? Can I bring my kids? - Where do I park? Is there a shuttle? - What time should I arrive? - Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors? What if it rains? - Will there be food? Can you handle my allergy? - Can I take photos during the ceremony? - Where are you registered? - When is the RSVP deadline, and what if I miss it? Keep answers to two sentences. Forty worded examples are in the [wedding website FAQ examples](/blog/wedding-website-faq-examples), and the plus-one question has its own guide: [how to say no plus-ones](/blog/how-to-say-no-plus-ones-on-your-wedding-website). ## RSVP: what to ask and what not to ask The RSVP is the reason most guests visit. Ask for attendance first, then only what you need to plan: - Coming or not, as a button, with the reply-by date visible. - How many from the household, limited to the number you actually invited. - Meal choice, only if you have a plated dinner with options. - Dietary notes as a free-text line. - One optional fun question if you want it: a song request, a piece of advice. Do not ask for a mailing address, a phone number or an email if you already have them. Each extra field costs you replies. With Eventi’s [online RSVP](/online-rsvp), each guest gets a personal link, so the form already knows who they are and how many seats are theirs, and the headcount updates in your guest list without a spreadsheet. The right deadline is covered in [when your RSVP deadline should be](/blog/wedding-rsvp-deadline). ## Registry: one page, one gracious sentence Link the stores or the fund, add a sentence that says your guests’ presence is the real gift, and stop. Never put the registry on the invitation itself; the website is the place for it. If you are asking for a honeymoon fund, say what it is for and keep the wording warm rather than transactional. The full approach is in [how to add a registry](/blog/how-to-add-a-registry-to-your-wedding-website). ## Our story: optional, and short Three paragraphs is plenty: how you met, a moment that mattered, the proposal or the decision. Guests who know you will enjoy it; guests who do not will skim it. It does not need to be chronological and it does not need to be funny. If you are stuck, the [our story examples](/blog/wedding-website-our-story-examples) include fifteen that you can adapt, including versions for second marriages and blended families. ## Wedding party: names and one line each A photo if you have one, the role, and a sentence on how you know them. It helps guests put names to the people at the front and gives your friends a small public thank-you. The [wedding party bio examples](/blog/wedding-party-bio-examples) keep every bio under sixty words so the page stays consistent. ## Photos: a few before, all of them after Before the wedding, three to six engagement photos are enough. After, the site is a good home for the full album, a thank-you note, and a request for guests’ own pictures. A [wedding hashtag](/wedding-hashtag-generator) on the photos page gives guests a place to post. ## Privacy: the settings page guests never see - Keep the site out of search engines unless you want it found. Eventi sites are hidden by default with a one-click opt-in. - Add a password if the site shows a private home address or if you want to keep the guest list to the guest list. - Never publish guests’ names, answers or contact details on the public page. - Choose a site name that is easy to say aloud. Ideas are in [wedding website name ideas](/blog/wedding-website-name-ideas), and passwords in [password ideas](/blog/wedding-website-password-ideas). ## What to leave off your wedding website - Your home address, on a public page. Put the venue address and keep the rest for the message. - The registry on the invitation. The site is where the registry belongs. - A multi-page story. If it runs past three paragraphs, cut it or move the extra to a photo captions page. - Anything about who is not invited. Handle it in the FAQ and the RSVP form, not on the home page. - Vendor credits before the wedding. They are lovely afterward, but guests do not need them yet. - Countdown timers and music that autoplays. Both slow the page and neither answers a question. ## Before you publish: a five-minute check - Open the site on your phone and find the date, the venue and the RSVP without scrolling more than once. - Tap every link: hotel booking, map, registry. One broken link means a dozen texts. - Read the schedule out loud. If a time is missing a place or a place is missing a time, fix it. - Confirm the RSVP deadline matches what the invitation says. - Check the privacy settings: hidden from search, password if you want one. - Send the link to one friend before you send it to everyone. Building and publishing a wedding website on Eventi is free, with the RSVP included and no subscription.
