What to Include on Your Wedding Website: The Ultimate Checklist

7 min read

Your wedding website is more than just a digital invite—it’s the central hub for your entire celebration. Done right, it saves time, answers guest questions, and keeps everything beautifully organised. Whether you’re planning a destination wedding or a local celebration, here’s your ultimate checklist for what to include.

  1. The Basics

    These are the must-haves every wedding website should include:
    • Couple’s names
    • Date and time
    • Venue details with address and directions
    • Schedule of events
    • Online RSVP form

  2. Your Story

    Share how you met, the proposal story, and what you’re most excited about. This is one of the most personal parts of your wedding website, and it’s a great opportunity to let your guests connect with your journey as a couple.

    You might want to include fun or heartfelt anecdotes—like your first date, the moment you knew they were “the one,” or a behind-the-scenes look at how the proposal happened. These little details can bring a smile to your guests' faces and get them even more excited to celebrate with you.

  3. Wedding Party Bios

    Introduce your bridesmaids, groomsmen, and other VIPs. Include fun facts, cringe photos, nicknames, or memories to make it engaging.

  4. Accommodation & Travel Info

    Make life easier for out-of-town guests by including:
    • Recommended hotels
    • Group booking links
    • Nearest transport hubs
    • Local attractions

  5. Dress Code & Weather Tips

    Let your guests know what to wear so they feel confident and comfortable on the day. Whether it’s black tie, cocktail attire, garden party chic, or something more casual, being specific helps avoid confusion—and awkward outfit choices.

    If your ceremony or reception is taking place outdoors, be sure to include practical notes like “wear flats,” “bring a jacket,” or “expect uneven terrain.” This is especially helpful for older guests or anyone unsure of what to expect.

    You can also upload a few photo examples to visually guide your guests on the vibe or colour palette you’re going for. A few well-chosen images of outfits, past events, or moodboards can be way more effective than a vague label like “smart casual.”

  6. Gift List & Contributions

    Share direct links to your registry or honeymoon fund. Our faves are The Wedding Shop and The Wedding Present Company. If you’d prefer not to receive gifts, this is a great place to let guests know with a kind note of thanks.

  7. FAQs Section

    Anticipate common guest questions like:
    • Can I bring a plus-one?
    • Are children welcome?
    • Is parking available?
    • Will there be transport provided?

  8. QR Code for Easy Access

    Including a QR code on your save-the-dates or printed invitations is a modern and elegant way to make it effortless for guests to access your wedding website. All they need to do is scan it with their phone’s camera, and no need to type out a long URL or search through their emails.

    With Hey Wedding Day, generating and customising your own QR code is incredibly simple. You can even adjust the design to match your colour scheme or wedding theme, making it feel like a natural part of your invitation suite.

  9. Contact the Couple

    With Hey Wedding Day, guests can message you directly from your wedding website—no need to share personal email addresses.

  10. Photo Upload Page

    Some of the best moments from your wedding won’t come from the photographer—they’ll come from your guests. Creating a dedicated photo upload page lets friends and family share their candid snaps, behind-the-scenes shots, and joyful memories with you, all in one place.

    This is a lovely way to see your big day through the eyes of your guests, and it’s especially great for catching moments you might have missed. With Kululu, you can easily link a secure and private gallery to your wedding website. Guests don’t need to download an app or create an account—just tap the link and upload. It’s simple, elegant, and keeps all your memories beautifully organised.

  11. Questions for Your Guests

    Your RSVP form doesn’t just have to be a simple yes or no—it can also collect valuable info that helps you plan a smoother day. With Hey Wedding Day, you can customise your RSVP to ask any questions you like, using multiple choice or free-text answers.

    Popular examples include:
    • Meal choices or dietary requirements
    • Song requests for the dance floor
    • Whether they need transport or accommodation
    • If they’re bringing kids or a plus-one
    • Fun questions like “What’s your best marriage advice?”
    These personalised questions can save a ton of back-and-forth, reduce surprises, and help you make guests feel even more considered in the planning process.

  12. Keep It Updated

    Update your website if timings shift, events are added, or travel info changes. Guests will appreciate the clarity.

Your wedding website should feel like a warm welcome to your day. With the right mix of practical info and personality, you’ll have your guests informed, excited, and ready to celebrate with you.
