What should be on my wedding website when I send out save the date?

Short answer

When you send save the dates, your website should hold the essentials: your names, the date, the town or city, and a line saying full details follow. Add a simple RSVP form so guests can tell you they are coming, even if you ask for a final answer later.

At the save the date stage, guests mainly want to know when and where to keep free. Put your names, the wedding date, and the town or city at the top. Add a short note like "formal invitation and full details to follow". This stops people asking questions too early.

Include a basic RSVP option, even if you only ask for a yes or maybe. This helps you gauge numbers early. You can also add travel hints, such as the nearest station or airport, and a note about accommodation coming later.

Do not publish the full schedule, menu choices or gift list yet. Save those for the invitation stage. Keep the site simple and clear. Update it as plans firm up. If you are having a religious ceremony, mention the place of worship and that banns or a licence may be needed, and remind guests to check the venue's own rules for entry.

Finally, add a contact email for questions. That one small detail saves you many individual messages. You can expand the site later, but at save the date stage, less is more.
