Wedding Website Checklist

A wedding website saves you answering the same questions again and again. These tasks help you set it up early, keep it current and wrap it up gracefully after the day.

Wedding Website checklist: 3 tasks in order

  1. 9–12 Months Before

    Create your wedding website

    Date, location, travel and hotels before save-the-dates go

    7–12 months before

    Create your wedding website 9–12 months before the wedding, before save-the-dates go out, with the date, location, travel and accommodation details guests need to plan.

    Steps

    0/7

    A wedding website gives guests one reliable place to check details instead of messaging you with the same questions. It lets you share travel, accommodation and schedule information long before formal invitations, and you can update it as plans change. Having the link ready means you can print or share it on your save-the-dates, and later use it for RSVPs, registry details and photo sharing.

  2. 2 Weeks Before

    Send guests the final details

    Timings, addresses, parking, dress code and photo link

    1–3 weeks before

    Send guests the final details about 1–2 weeks before the wedding: timings, addresses, parking, dress code, weather advice, transport and your photo-sharing link.

    Steps

    0/6

    Guests usually look for practical details in the last week, not when they first RSVP. A short, friendly update answers the common questions in one place, reduces messages to you on the day and helps everyone arrive on time and dressed for the weather. It’s also the perfect moment to share how to send you their photos.

  3. First Month After

    Update or close your wedding website

    Add a thank-you and photos, or close it when done

    Up to 4 months afterOptional

    After the wedding, update your wedding website with a thank-you message and photos, or close it once you no longer need it.

    Steps

    0/5

    Guests may still visit the site after the wedding, looking for photos or registry details. A short thank-you and a few pictures give it a warm ending. If you’d rather not keep it, closing or hiding it protects your privacy, especially if it lists addresses, travel details or guest information.

Frequently asked questions

What’s involved in managing a wedding website?

Managing a wedding website involves launching it 9–12 months before the wedding, keeping it current as plans change, and updating or closing it afterwards. Publish it before save-the-dates go out so you can include the link, starting with the date, location and travel details. About 1–2 weeks before, send guests final details and make sure the website matches. After the wedding, add a thank-you message or close it.

Which wedding website tasks matter most?

Launching early with the essentials matters most, since guests use the site to plan travel. Keeping key details current before the wedding comes next. Updating or closing the site afterwards is optional.

How often should you update your wedding website?

Update it whenever a detail guests rely on changes, and review it at key moments: after save-the-dates, after invitations, a month before and in the final week. Tell guests directly when something important changes.

Can a wedding website replace printed details?

Partly. It’s the best place for travel, schedule and FAQ details that may change, but some guests prefer key details in writing. Keep the essentials on your invitation and point everyone to the website for the rest.
