A wedding website takes a lot of the logistical pressure off, giving your guests one place to find everything they need. This guide covers what to include, how to make it feel personal, and what to do with it after the big day.

Planning a wedding involves a lot of moving parts, and keeping all your guests informed is one of the most time-consuming bits. A wedding website takes a lot of that pressure away. Instead of answering the same questions dozens of times, you can point everyone to one place. This guide covers what to include, how to make it feel personal to you, and what to do with it after the day itself.

Why a wedding website is worth having

A wedding website gives your guests one reliable place to find everything they need. It's particularly useful for weddings where guests are travelling from different parts of the country, for larger guest lists, or for couples who want a more polished alternative to generic wedding builder sites that all look the same.

They're also excellent for managing your RSVP process. Rather than chasing people up by phone or keeping track of paper reply cards, an online RSVP form collects everything you need automatically and sends it straight to your inbox.

What to include on your wedding website

The essential details

Every wedding website should cover the basics clearly: the date, time, and venue address. An interactive map and written directions are genuinely useful, particularly if your venue is in a rural location. A brief rundown of the day (ceremony time, when guests should arrive, evening reception details) helps people plan their travel and means they're not sending you the same questions.

RSVP forms

Online RSVPs are far easier to manage than paper reply cards. A well-designed form can collect guest names, dietary requirements, song requests, and any other information you need. Responses come straight to your email, and we can also set things up so everything feeds into a private Google Sheet, keeping your numbers organised automatically.

Accommodation and travel information

If guests are travelling from further afield, a dedicated section with nearby hotels, recommended bed and breakfasts, and transport options is a thoughtful addition. Including a couple of different price ranges helps guests at all budgets feel considered.

Your story as a couple

Not every couple wants this, but many guests enjoy reading a bit about how you met or the story behind the proposal. It makes the website feel personal rather than purely functional, and gives guests something to enjoy before the big day.

Making it feel like you

Generic wedding website builders tend to produce sites that look much the same as everyone else's. A custom wedding website is designed around your colour palette, your aesthetic, and the overall feel of your day. If you've chosen specific fonts for your stationery or a colour scheme running through your flowers and table settings, your website can match that consistently.

This kind of cohesion makes everything feel considered and intentional, which is exactly the impression you want for your wedding.

Keeping it private

Many couples prefer their wedding website to be accessible only to their guests. We can set up a simple password page so the site can only be viewed by people you've shared the details with. This means you can safely include your venue address, specific instructions, and anything else you'd rather not have publicly visible.

After the wedding

Your hosting is included for 12 months as standard. After the big day, many couples choose to update their website with professional photographs, turning it into a gallery to share with guests once they're back from the honeymoon. It's a lovely way to keep the site useful and meaningful beyond the day itself. If you'd like to keep it live after the first year, there's just a small annual hosting fee.

Common questions

How much does a custom wedding website cost?

Our luxury wedding websites start from £599, which includes 12 months of hosting, bespoke design, RSVP forms, and all the pages your guests need.

How long does it take to build one?

Usually two to three weeks once we have your details and any photography you'd like to use. We'd recommend getting in touch at least six to eight weeks before your invitations go out, so there's no rush.

Can guests RSVP online through it?

Yes. We set up a custom RSVP form that collects the details you need and sends responses directly to your email. We can also connect it to a private Google Sheet if you'd like everything organised in one place automatically.

Does it need to be public?

Not at all. We can set up a password screen so only your guests can access the details. This is a popular option and straightforward to set up.

What happens to the website after the wedding?

Your hosting is included for 12 months. After the big day, many couples update it with their wedding photos as a gallery to share with guests. If you'd like to keep it live beyond the first year, it's just a small annual fee.
