Is it a good idea to have a wedding website?

A wedding website is a practical hub for your guests. You can share the date, venue, travel and parking details, dress code, menu choices and your gift list. It is especially useful if you have guests coming from different places, or if you have several events like a hen do, a ceremony and a reception.

It also helps you manage RSVPs. Many website services let guests reply online, which cuts down on chasing paper replies. You can send updates if plans change, and you can keep the site private so only your guests see it.

You do not need a website if your wedding is small and everyone already knows the details. But for most weddings, it makes life easier for you and your guests. It is also a lovely place to share your story, photos and practical information in one go.

If you decide to have one, choose a service that is simple to use and works well on phones, because most guests will check it on their mobiles.
