Do you need a wedding website if you are having a humanist ceremony?

A wedding website is never a requirement, whatever type of ceremony you choose. For a humanist ceremony, the legal side is separate. In England and Wales, a humanist ceremony on its own is not legally binding, so you will usually add a short civil ceremony. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, humanist celebrants can conduct legal weddings. The rules can vary, so check with your celebrant and on GOV.UK for the current position.

A website can still help with your humanist ceremony. Use it to explain the order of the day, especially if you are having two ceremonies. Guests will appreciate knowing when the legal part happens and when the humanist part begins. You can also share the story of your relationship, your vows or the meaning behind the ceremony.

A website is also useful for practical details like directions, parking, timings and dress code. It keeps all information in one place and reduces questions from guests. But if you prefer, you can share these details by email, printed cards or word of mouth. The choice is yours.
