How to Create a Wedding Website: 7 Easy Steps
To help you get ahead of wedding planning, and create a free wedding website that works for you, we've put together a quick how-to-guide below.
Create a Custom URL for Your Wedding Site
Make it easy for guests to find your wedding details by creating a wedding website URL that feels unique to you. We offer a selection of free domain names that can be customized to suit your celebration. For example, https://we.are.planning.wedding/ClaraAndThomas or https://planning.wedding/website/RoisinAndSteve.
It's certainly tempting to give your site a wild and wacky domain, and while we're not discouraging that! It's important your guests can also find your site easily. If you are worried that guests won't find it simple to type in your website link, you could direct loved ones to a QR code instead. Alongside our free, custom URLs, we also offer free QR codes that can be downloaded and used on stationery to easily send guests straight to your site.
Customize Your Wedding Website Template
This is our favorite part - getting creative with website design. Our template is ideal for those who want to make their online space feel like home, without wanting to learn the basics of coding to do it! Each aspect of your wedding website design can be easily customized to align with your wedding theme. Including fonts, colors, and the types of content featured.
Of course, no custom wedding website is complete without engagement photos! And we provide plenty of places for you to share yours! Along with the ability to post a video of whatever you like. Maybe a sweet clip of you guys getting engaged? A collage of your favorite vacation moments? A message to loved ones from you both? How ever you choose to give guests a glimpse into your lives with video, it can be done with our free wedding website service.

Share Important Information
While building a wedding website that looks stunning and has lots of engagement shots is great, your site needs to include information too. Whether you're planning to send out physical save the dates and invitations, or not.
To speed up the site building process, we've listed the key details your wedding website needs below;
- Wedding date
- Wedding venue for ceremony & reception
- Wedding day schedule
The above wedding info should be shared as early as possible in the planning process, as these details will help guests plan their trip to your big day. Especially if you're planning a destination wedding, as that will require a lot more planning from loved ones.
Once the above details are set in stone, or secured, you can then begin to share further details as they become finalized. The beauty of a wedding website is that it can be updated with information as soon as you get it and everyone can be notified instantly. Perfect if you're working on a tight schedule, or with countless moving parts.
Below are the further details a perfect wedding website needs;
- Dress code
- Information about catering & drinks
- Policy on plus one's and kids
- RSVP return deadline
- Accommodation information or recommendations
- Transport information
- Wedding registry information

PLANNING . WEDDING — is easy to remember and even easier to use.
Share Your Love Story
Not every wedding guest at your celebration will know your journey up to this point. Some may not even know you at all! Which is why it's nice to bring everyone up to speed by sharing your love story. How you met, got together, got engaged and what you've both been doing up to this point.
This 'about us' section can be written in whatever style you like, but traditionally couples' would pen it together, and in 3rd person. We believe it's also nice to share a little something separately, just so you can both express yourselves as individuals. This should be done in 1st person if you decide to add this section.
Try to keep this entire section fairly brief. A few lines describing how you got together etc, plus a couple of lines about you both as individuals is ideal. Any more than that and even your closest friends will struggle to get through it all!
Add an RSVP
If you need a reason to create your wedding website with us, it's RSVPs! If you've ever tried to collate RSVPs offline, you'll know how much of a pain the process can be. Especially when guests simply refuse to send their wedding invitations back before the deadline! Or make countless requests or changes to their wedding day experience. The entire exercise is time-consuming, and confusing, even for a professional wedding planner.
Add your wedding to an online RSVP platform, and you'll find the experience is entirely different. For example, our platform is interlinked with our guest list software. Meaning that as soon as someone confirms their attendance, their status will automatically be updated on the guest list. Including any requests they may have, and plus one details. You will also be notified of their confirmation straight away by email.
If you're planning other events surrounding the wedding day itself, such as a rehearsal dinner or activity with your wedding party, you can also invite guests to those celebrations via our RSVP platform. Their attendance at those events will also be automatically added to your guest list record. Of course, not all of your events will be open to every guest. But with our RSVP system, you can send specific versions of your wedding website to different groups of guests. Meaning only the desired people will see certain invitations, avoiding any awkward situations whereby a guest has been invited to something they shouldn't have.
Create your wedding website
Registry Information
As you may know, including gift registries on physical wedding invitations is considered bad etiquette, and may actually offend some of your guests. Which is understandable. Our recommendation would be to instead direct guests to your wedding website, either via physical invitations or email. Once there, they can then scroll down to your registry and be directed to whichever supplier/s you have chosen.
If you are including a link to your private website on your wedding stationery, we would suggest using a QR code to make things as easy as possible for loved ones. Our platform automatically generates QR codes for every wedding website, which can then be downloaded and included on any stationery you desire.
Gather Guest-sourced Wedding Photography
Professional wedding photography is a must when tying the knot, but there is something so authentic and real about shots taken by loved ones on the big day. They really capture the moment, and help to build a better picture of what the celebration was actually like.
We love this kind of photography from guests, which is why we built a place for your guests to upload their shots directly to your wedding website. Add your unique QR code to every table, and your loved ones could even send them in real-time!
