Wedding websites

Put your registry on the website and any important details for your guests (room blocks, things to do, locations of events). Then you can share your website on your save the dates, bridal shower invites, and details card.

You can even make your website able to RSVP for guests

I put our website on both save the dates and the invites. I had guests RSVP on the website to save money on RSVP cards... however, a lot of people couldn’t figure out how to use the online RSVP system, so that part was kind of pointless. 😂

We also used our wedding website to share registry info, hotel info for out-of-town guests, and other important info (like dress code). We also put engagement pictures & wrote a short little blurb about how we met, the engagement, etc. 😊

View Quoted Comment We aren’t sending out save the date cards, so I was curious if it is normal to post on social media so everyone was able to see & plan (I have family all over). I think bridal shower invites would be okay to post it, but we aren’t inviting everyone to the bridal shower. Is it waiting too late to share it on our invites only?

I would not put it in social media. unless everyone is invited.
I put wedding location , time date local hotels RSVP, about us and wedding party a bit of wedding info. I put to be careful of shoes cause ceromony will be o. A golf course.

View Quoted Comment If you choose this option and don't want to broadcast it to everyone, I recently discovered that Facebookn allows you to choose individual people who can see a certain post. I wanted to send the link with a reminder about the hotel block closing this week, but I felt awkward sharing the details to people who weren't invited

As others said, I have the ceremony/reception info, hotel block and shuttle, and registry all on the wedding website. I put it on our save the dates and my maid of honor included it in the bridal shower invites as a separate slip of paper.

This is a good idea! I had a password on ours & made the details “private” so that nothing important was too much out there, just the registries & all that.

One of the things we added as an extra (i.e. didn't use an existing template) on our site is a FAQ section. It helps keep the front page of the site a little cleaner, and allows us to provide explanations for things that might come up in a way that we'd like them explained. For example, we list attire as casual cocktail on the front page. We picked that because when I started researching dress codes, I realized that cocktail attire is technically a little more formal than we want to "require". The only problem is that casual cocktail isn't defined well in many places, so I used the FAQ page to define it and provide some examples.

We put things like about us, how we met, the proposal, our home life with our furbabies, our registry, and a timeline of events. This is alos where we posted that no children will be allowed at the wedding. We posted the url on our STDs when they were sent out in December.

I wouldn't put it on social media because probably not all of your Facebook/Instagram/Twitter friends and followers are invited. You can send it in private messages to those who are invited or those who ask for details.

I didn’t have a private website because I figured it would be easier for everyone to find without the password. I didn’t include it on social media only shared it on chats or text message and of course included on the invitation. I didn’t add how we met or how he proposed. Everyone invited to our wedding knows us and it was unnecessary specially since I included so much due to a destination wedding.

I had sections like this.
Our wedding:
- the big day - time, attire, location
- what to wear - a general idea of what’s expected for him and her
- details - transportation pick up and drop off for wedding day, hair and make up and unplugged ceremony info.


Accommodations:
- block hotel room with link to book
- travel information
- transportation from airport to hotel
- info about the resort and what to do
- info of the country and what to do during the visit outside resort

Other events:
- info of welcome party, invitation and dress code

Photos:
- engagement pictures

Registry:
- bed bad and beyond
- honeymoon fund

FAQ:
- a section with the most frequent questions we got and the answer. A way to make it easier for everyone.

Of course we we had a lot that night not apply to most weddings but I think explaining dress code if is important to you is something easy to add. Registry of course. Accommodation if you have a room block. Rehearsal or other events if apply to you as well as transportation.

I didn't post ours on social media. I wouldn't unless all your social media friends/followers are invited. I put it on our save the dates & invites. We put our RSVP (also had the paper option), hotel information, airport information, rental car information, things to do in the area, FAQs, engagement pictures, etc.
