Build a wedding website and registry

Make it easy for guests to get excited and stay informed

Your guests will have questions. Where is the ceremony? What is the dress code? Where should they stay? A wedding website can answer all of that in one easy place, making life simpler for everyone. It is also the perfect spot to share your love story and get guests excited for the big day.

Keep it simple

A good wedding website is clear and easy to use. Most couples include the basics first: date, time, location and a rough timeline of the day. Then add travel info, hotel blocks, dress code details and a link to your registry. You can also include a page for FAQs if you want to cover things like whether kids are welcome or what to expect for parking.

Share your story

This is a great place to have a little fun. Add a “how we met” section, or talk about your proposal story. Share photos you love, from your engagement session to everyday snapshots. Guests will feel more connected and excited to celebrate with you.

Make it user-friendly

Stick with easy-to-read fonts, clear colors and a layout that works on mobile phones. Most guests will look at your website from their phones, so test it out before you hit publish.

Set up your registry

Many local shops now offer wedding registries, both in-store and online, giving you the chance to fill your list with items you’ll actually use and love while supporting hometown businesses. Beyond household essentials, couples are also adding honeymoon funds, travel gift cards or donations to favorite causes. The key is to choose things that truly fit your life together and reflect how you’ll live as a couple.

Add a personal touch

Little notes can go a long way. If you register for something like camping gear or a fancy serving tray, add a note about why. Guests will love to know you plan to use that tray for holiday dinners or that you will take the camping gear on your next adventure together.

Keep guests in the loop

Once you build your website, include the link on your save-the-dates and invitations. You can also update the website later with new details, like a change of venue or a weather backup plan. It is easier than sending out more mail, and guests will appreciate the instant updates.
