Wedding websites have become hugely popular over the past few years, becoming an essential tool for modern couples planning their big day.
From streamlining communication to showcasing personal love stories, these digital hubs offer convenience, creativity, and practicality.
If you're considering starting one, here’s why they’re so popular, as well as what you need to know to create your own.
Centralised information hub
Gone are the days of endless phone calls and emails answering the same questions.
A wedding website consolidates all key details. This includes date, venue, RSVPs, registry links, dress code, and travel information.
Easy RSVP management
Digital RSVPs save time, reduce paper waste, and simplify guest tracking.
Many platforms integrate RSVP tools that automatically update your guest list.
Cost-effective and eco-friendly
Instead of printing multiple inserts with invitations, couples can direct guests to their website for additional details, saving money and reducing paper usage.
Personalisation and storytelling
Couples can share their love story, engagement photos, and wedding details in a uniquely personal way, making guests feel more connected to the celebration.
Travel and accommodation details
For destination weddings, a website is invaluable for sharing hotel blocks, transportation options, and local recommendations.
Registry integration
Guests can easily access gift registries without needing separate cards or reminders.

Choose the right platform
Several user-friendly platforms cater specifically to wedding websites, including:
Pick a domain name
Many platforms offer free subdomains (e.g., yournames.wedding.com), but you can also purchase a custom domain (e.g., SarahAndJohn2024.com) for a polished touch.
Essential pages to include
Update regularly
As plans evolve (weather contingencies, timeline tweaks), keep the site updated so guests have the latest information.
