Wedding Website Wording Examples
A wedding website needs short, warm wording on six pages: a welcome message, your story, the schedule, travel and accommodation, the wedding party, and an FAQ. Keep each section scannable — guests read it on their phones, usually while booking travel or getting dressed.
Homepage welcome message
The first thing guests see. Two or three sentences: who you are, when and where, and that you're glad they're here.
Welcome to our wedding website! We're so excited to celebrate with the people we love most. Here you'll find everything you need for [Date] in [City] — the schedule, travel tips and our RSVP. We can't wait to see you there. — [Bride's name] & [Groom's name]
We're getting married! 🎉 Thank you for being part of our story. Please take a look around for details about the big day, and RSVP by [RSVP deadline] so we can save you a seat.
Hello and welcome! We created this site to keep all the wedding details in one place. If you have any questions that aren't answered here, just text either of us — we're always happy to help.
[Bride's name] & [Groom's name] [Date] · [Venue], [City] We would be honoured to have you celebrate with us. Please RSVP by [RSVP deadline].
Our story
Guests love this page most. Keep it to 120–200 words; add one specific detail that only you two would know.
We met on [how you met] in [year], when [Groom's name] [small detail]. What started as [first date] turned into [years] of [shared things]. On [proposal date], [Groom's name] proposed at [place] — and [Bride's name] said yes before he finished the question. We can't wait to celebrate the next chapter with you.
It all started with a swipe right in [year]. Our first date was supposed to be a quick coffee and ended six hours later. Since then we've [moved cities / adopted a dog / travelled to X countries], and we've learned that home is wherever we're together.
We've been best friends since [school/university], so it took everyone else a lot less time to figure this out than it took us. After [years] years of friendship, we're finally making it official.
His version: "I knew on our first date." Her version: "It took him three dates to work up the courage to ask for a fourth." Either way, here we are — and we're so glad you're part of it.

Wedding party & things to do

Etiquette tips
- Put the RSVP deadline on the homepage and the RSVP page — it is the most-missed detail.
- Write times in the local time zone of the wedding and say so if many guests are travelling internationally.
- Keep each page under ~300 words; guests skim on phones.
- Update the site as plans change and tell guests ("Updated 1 May: shuttle times added") so they trust it.
- Use the same names and hashtag as your invitation so guests can find you if they search.
