Do you need a details card if you have a wedding website?

Short answer

No, you do not need a details card if you have a wedding website. The website can hold all the extra information, so your invitation can stay simple. Just make sure every guest can access the website or ask for help.

A details card used to be essential for telling guests about accommodation, directions, dress code and the gift list. But a wedding website can do all of that and more. So if you have a website, you can skip the extra card. That saves paper, postage and keeps your invitation elegant.

However, think about your guests. Not everyone is comfortable online. Older relatives or friends without smartphones may struggle with a website. In that case, you could add a small card with just the essentials: the date, the venue address and a phone number for questions. Or you could print the website address on the invitation and also mention that you are happy to answer questions by phone or email.

If you do use a details card, keep it short. List the most important things: travel, parking, accommodation and dress code. Then point guests to the website for the full schedule and any updates. That way the card is a backup, not a duplicate. The website is your main source of truth, so update it if anything changes, and tell guests to check it closer to the date.
