Short answer
Yes, using your real names in your wedding website URL is usually the clearest choice. It helps guests find the site easily and avoids confusion. If you prefer privacy, you can use first names only or a family name.
Using your real names in your wedding website URL is a good idea for most couples. It makes the address easy to remember and easy to share. Guests can type it without guessing, and it feels personal and warm. If you are worried about privacy, you can use just your first names, or your first names and the year. That still feels personal without giving away too much. Some couples prefer to use a family name or a place name, like a town or venue. That works too, as long as it is meaningful to you and easy for guests to recognise. Avoid anything too long or complicated. A short, simple URL is easier to type and less likely to be mistyped. You can always include your full names on the website itself, even if the URL is shorter. Remember that your website address will appear on invitations, save the dates and social media. Make sure it is something you are happy to share widely. If you are not sure, test it with a friend. Ask them to read it out loud and type it from memory. If they can do it easily, you have chosen well.
