What to Write on Your Wedding Website (With Examples)
Not sure what to put on your wedding website? Here's exactly what to write — from your love story to FAQs — with copy-paste examples you can use today.
You've got your wedding website set up — now you're staring at a blank page wondering what to actually write. Don't worry, every couple goes through this. The good news? You don't need to be a writer. You just need to be yourselves.
Here's exactly what to include on your wedding website, section by section, with examples you can steal and make your own.
1. The Welcome Message
This is the first thing your guests read. Keep it warm, short, and excited. You're not writing a novel — you're saying "hey, we're getting married and we want you there."
Example: "We're so excited to share this day with the people who mean the most to us. Thank you for being part of our story — we can't wait to celebrate with you!"
Example (casual): "We're doing this thing! After 4 years of stealing each other's fries, we decided to make it official. Come eat, drink, and dance with us."
2. Your Love Story
This is the heart of your wedding website. Your guests want to know how you met, what made you fall in love, and how the proposal went. Write like you're telling a friend over coffee — not like you're writing a bio.
Tips:
- Start with how you met (the real version, not the polished one)
- Include a funny or memorable moment from early on
- Talk about when you knew they were "the one"
- End with the proposal or the decision to get married
Example: "We met at a friend's housewarming party in 2021. Sarah accidentally spilled wine on James's shoes, and instead of being upset, he said 'at least you have good taste in wine.' They talked for three hours that night and haven't stopped since."
Don't stress about making it perfect. The best love stories are the honest ones.
3. Event Details & Schedule
Your guests need to know when and where to show up. Be specific — don't assume they'll figure it out.
Include:
- Ceremony time and location (with full address)
- Cocktail hour details
- Reception time and location (if different)
- Any other events (welcome dinner, morning-after brunch)
- Dress code
Example:
Ceremony — 4:00 PM at St. Mary's Chapel, 123 Oak Street, Austin, TX
Cocktail Hour — 5:00 PM on the Garden Terrace
Reception — 6:00 PM in the Grand Ballroom. Dinner, drinks, and dancing until midnight!
4. RSVP Instructions
Make it dead simple. The easier you make it, the faster people respond. If you're using Wedu, each guest gets a personal RSVP link they can tap from a text message — no login, no searching for their name in a dropdown.
Example: "Please RSVP by September 1st so we can finalize our headcount. Just click the button below — it takes 30 seconds!"
5. FAQs
This is where you answer the questions you'd otherwise get 50 texts about. Think about what your guests will actually wonder.
Common questions to answer:
- What's the dress code?
- Can I bring a plus one?
- Is there parking?
- Will the event be indoors or outdoors?
- Are kids welcome?
- What's the weather usually like?
- Is there a hotel block?
Example:
Q: What should I wear?
A: Cocktail attire — think sundresses, blazers, and your favorite dancing shoes. Leave the stilettos at home though, the ceremony is on grass!
6. Travel & Accommodations
If you have out-of-town guests, this section is essential. Include hotel recommendations, airport info, and any group rates you've arranged.
Example: "We've reserved a block of rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn (10 minutes from the venue) at a special rate of $129/night. Book by August 15th using code SMITHWEDDING."
7. Registry (Optional)
If you have a registry, link to it. If you'd prefer cash gifts, say so — honestly and graciously.
Example (cash fund): "Your presence is the greatest gift! But if you'd like to contribute to our honeymoon fund or our first home, we've set up a small fund below."
The Bottom Line
Your wedding website doesn't need to be long or fancy. It needs to be you. Write like you talk, include the details your guests actually need, and don't overthink it.
The best part? With Wedu, most of this gets written for you automatically. Just enter your names and your site is ready — then tweak it however you want.
