Wedding Website Wording Examples for Every Page

Start with a short, warm welcome that names you both and gives the date and location. You do not need to be clever or funny. A simple line like "Welcome to our wedding website. We are so glad you are here" works well.

Example: "Hello and welcome. We are getting married on Saturday 14 June at the Old Mill Barn in Kent. This site has all the details you need, from timings to travel. Thank you for being part of our day."

If you are having a humanist ceremony, say so plainly. For example: "Our ceremony will be led by a humanist celebrant, which means it is personal, non-religious and created just for us." This helps guests know what to expect.

Keep your story short and honest. Three or four paragraphs is plenty. Write in your own voice, not a formal one. Mention how you met, what you love to do together, and the proposal if you want to.

Example lines: "We met at a friend's barbecue in Bristol in 2019. We bonded over a shared love of bad puns and good coffee." "After five years, two house moves and one very patient cat, we decided to get married."

If you are a same-sex couple, you can mention that if you like, but you do not have to. Your story is yours. The aim is to help guests feel they know you a little better.

Use your FAQ page to answer the questions guests are too polite to ask. Be clear and kind. For children, you might write: "Are children invited? We love your little ones, but to keep numbers manageable, we are only able to invite the children named on your invitation. We hope you understand." Or, if children are welcome: "Children are very welcome. We will have a quiet corner with books and toys in the barn."

For dress code, give a simple phrase and a short explanation. For example: "Dress code: garden party. Think summer dresses, linen suits and comfortable shoes. The ceremony is on grass, so please avoid stilettos." Or "Black tie optional: wear a dinner jacket if you like, or a dark suit. The venue is indoors with a dance floor."

If the wedding is outdoors, add a line about weather: "The ceremony is outside, so please bring a jacket or a shawl. If it rains, we have a marquee."

On the travel page, give clear directions and parking details. Write: "By car: the venue is 10 minutes from Junction 5 of the M25. There is free parking on site. By train: the nearest station is Woldingham, about 15 minutes away. We will run a shuttle from the station from 2pm."

If guests are staying overnight, list nearby hotels and B&Bs with a short note: "We have reserved a small block of rooms at the Swan Inn. Please book by 1 May to get the wedding rate. Other options include the Old Rectory B&B and the Travelodge on the high street."

For things to do, suggest a few local attractions and activities. For example: "If you are staying for the weekend, here are some things we love: a walk along the canal, the Saturday market in town, and the new art gallery. The pub next to the venue does a great Sunday roast." Keep it personal and practical.

Write about gifts with warmth and no pressure. A simple line is best: "Your presence is the only present we need. However, if you would like to give a gift, we have a small gift list at [name of store] and a honeymoon fund."

If you do not want gifts, say so clearly: "Please do not buy us anything. We have everything we need. If you would like to mark the occasion, a donation to [charity name] would mean a lot to us."

If you are asking for money towards a house or a honeymoon, be direct: "We are saving for our first home. If you would like to help, a contribution to our house fund would be wonderful. There is a link on this page." Always say thank you in advance.

Your RSVP page should tell guests exactly what to do. Write: "Please RSVP by 1 May using the form below. You can search for your name and then tell us if you can come. If you have any dietary needs, please add them in the notes box."

If you are using a wedding website with private links, explain: "You will find a personal link in your email invitation. Click that link to open your RSVP. If you lose the link, use the contact form and we will send it again."

Ask for each guest's name and meal choice if you are having a sit-down dinner. For example: "Please select a main course for each guest. The options are: chicken, fish, or a vegan risotto. If you have allergies, tell us in the notes."

If you have a deadline, state it clearly: "We need your reply by 31 May so we can confirm numbers with the caterer. Thank you for letting us know in good time."

Choose photos that show you as a couple. A mix is good: one formal, one candid, and one with family or friends. Do not use too many. Three to five is plenty. Make sure the photos are high resolution and show your faces clearly.

For a save the date page, keep it short. Write: "Save the date! We are getting married on Saturday 14 June. The ceremony is at 2pm at the Old Mill Barn. Formal invitations will follow in the new year." If it is a destination wedding, add travel dates: "We will be in Cornwall from 12 to 16 June. Please join us for the whole weekend if you can."

If you have a wedding website, you can use the save the date page to ask guests to check for updates. For example: "Please check this website for travel, accommodation and timings. We will update it as we get closer to the day."
