Wedding planning can be very involved and time consuming, since there are so many details and logistics to sort out. One way couples stay organized during the craziness of wedding planning is by creating a wedding website. Your wedding website is a personalized page all about you, your fiance, and your wedding. it’s the perfect way to keep all the important info about your big day in one place and helps relay all that information to your guests. If you’re considering creating a wedding website for your big day, here are a few things to include on the site to make it the perfect organizational tool!

1) The Basics

The first thing you want to put on your site is the essential information, just like you would find on a “Save The Date”. You should include the date, time, and location of your wedding, as well as any additional directions specific to the location or parking situation. This way your guests can mark your big day on their calendars and it is all in one convenient place.

2)Timeline of the Wedding Day

It is a good idea to put a timeline, or schedule, of your big day on your wedding website. You can layout times for the ceremony, photos, cocktail hour, reception, and anything else you’re planning. It is helpful for you to layout your schedule beforehand so you can see how long different parts will take and adjust accordingly, if there is too much or too little time at a certain point of the day. Your guests will also appreciate knowing when to be certain places, especially if your ceremony and reception are at different venues.

3) Important Events To Mark Down

Your site is also a good place to mark down important wedding-related events. Add all of the necessary information for your wedding shower, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and your rehearsal dinner. This way, those invited will have a place to reference in case they forget any of the details. You can also post special announcements and updates regarding any showers or parties regularly so guests can stay up to date on any changes.

4) The Wedding Registry

Be sure to include your wedding registry on your site. You can present this in any way that makes sense to you, but It is probably easiest to set it up as a list of the stores you are registered at and then include a link to your registry at each store. You can also set it up by the type of items that are on your registry and make a “kitchenware” section, a “home” section, a “bathroom” section and so on. You can also include details on how your guests can get those gifts to you. Let them know if they should ship it to your house or theirs, or if they should bring it to the wedding or bridal shower.

5) Anticipated FAQs

Have one page on your wedding website where you proactively write up everything the guests will need/want to know. This could be the answers to standard questions like “what’s on the menu?” or “how long will the ceremony be?” What you may not realize is that you can also use this format as a way to relay requests that you feel guests may push back on, such as “no phones” and “no kids at the ceremony” as well as any dress codes you want to put in place.

6) The Wedding Party

Highlight your wedding party on your site! You can put a picture of each bridesmaid and groomsman and include a little bio for each person. It may also be fun to post a cool fun fact about each person or put a cute anecdote about how you or your fiance know them. This is your chance to showcase some of your favorite people so be sure to give them some love on your site!

7) Your Wedding/Engagement Photos

Your site provides the perfect opportunity for you to share all of your engagement photos with your loved ones. You can use them as simple decoration or you can assign each page on the site a cover photo that can help as a system of organization. Also, once the wedding is over, you can add your wedding photos to the site as well and create a wedding photo gallery. This is the perfect way to make sure your loved ones, including those who couldn’t be at your wedding, get to see all the memories these photos provide and you and your fiance can look back on these memories for a long time to come.

8) Your Love Story

Naturally, you should post about you nd your fiance! You can post your love story, including how you met, your first date, the proposal, and any other anecdotes you want to share. It is also smart to post a bit of info about each of you. That way, the loved ones who haven’t met your significant other can get to know them and vice versa for your partners family. Lastly, as long as you feel like sharing this info, you can post a bit about your hopes for your future as a couple. Do you guys want kids? Do you want to own a house together soon? This wedding is about you and your fiance so let your guests see the real you!
