Every wedding website builder gives you the pages. None of them give you the words.
So you’re staring at five blank sections: welcome, our story, RSVP, travel, FAQ. That’s what this page fixes: wedding website wording examples for every section of your site. Copy the block you need, swap in your [details], and move on with your life.
One thing before we start. This guide covers what to write ON your wedding website. If you’re looking for the wording of the invitation itself, I wrote a separate guide to digital wedding invitation wording. This page is for the site your invitation points to.
Quick verdict: Write a 3-sentence welcome message, put your RSVP deadline on every page that mentions RSVPs, and answer dress code, kids, and plus-ones in your FAQ before anyone has to text you. A free Mixily event page can do all of this in one place, RSVP tracking included. Create your free wedding page on Mixily →
Key takeaways:
- A wedding website needs five sections: a welcome message, your story, RSVP instructions with a deadline, travel details, and an FAQ page.
- Put your RSVP deadline in at least two places: the welcome message and the RSVP page itself.
- Registry info belongs on the website, never on the invitation. Two polite sentences are enough.
- On the invitation, one line does the job: “Find details and RSVP at [yourwebsite.com].”
What Every Page Needs
A wedding website needs to answer every question a guest would otherwise text you: where, when, what to wear, who’s invited, and how to RSVP. Get those answered and the site has done its job. Everything else is decoration.
Here’s the whole site at a glance:
| Page | What it needs to say | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome | Names, date, city, RSVP deadline | 2 to 4 sentences |
| Our story | How you met, the proposal | 150 to 250 words |
| RSVP | How to respond, deadline, what info you need | 3 to 5 sentences |
| Travel | Airport, hotel block, transportation | 100 to 200 words |
| Registry | A polite pointer | 1 to 2 sentences |
| FAQ | Dress code, kids, plus-ones, photos | 5 to 10 Q&As |
Picture a couple who launch their wedding website with every page done except the FAQ. Over the next two weeks they answer the same three questions, “what do I wear,” “can I bring someone,” “are kids invited,” about forty times by text. A finished FAQ page does the work of an assistant.
Write the FAQ. Your thumbs will thank you.
One more tone note before the templates: pick one voice and use it everywhere. A formal welcome message next to a jokey FAQ reads like two different couples got married on the same website.
Your Welcome Message
Your welcome message is the first thing guests see, and it only has three jobs: confirm they’re in the right place, show off the date and city, and point them to the RSVP. Three or four sentences. That’s it.
Formal Welcome Message
Welcome!
We joyfully invite you to celebrate the marriage of [Name] and [Name] on [date] in [city, state].
Here you'll find everything you need for the weekend: ceremony details, travel information, and your RSVP.
Kindly respond by [RSVP deadline].
Casual Welcome Message
We're getting married! (And you're invited.)
[Date] · [City, State]
Everything you need is right here: where to stay, what to wear, and how to RSVP.
Please reply by [date] so we can save you a seat and a slice of cake.
Short and Sweet
[Name] & [Name]
[Date] · [Venue], [City]
We can't wait to celebrate with you.
RSVP below by [deadline].
Our Story Wording
Your “our story” page should hit three beats: how you met, the moment you knew, and the proposal. Aim for 150 to 250 words. Guests want the highlight reel, not the director’s cut.
Classic Version
We met [where/how] in [year]. [Name] says it was love at first sight. [Name] says it took three more coffee dates to be sure.
[X] years, [one apartment/two cities/one very spoiled dog] later, [Name] proposed [where/how]. [He/She/They] said yes before the question was finished.
Now we're making it official on [date], and we want you there.
He Said / She Said Version
How we met, according to [Name 1]: [Two or three sentences of their version.]
How we met, according to [Name 2]: [Two or three sentences of a slightly contradictory version.]
We've agreed to disagree about the details. We agree completely about the ending.
The two-version format is my favorite because it’s the only wedding website page that makes guests laugh out loud. A couple who disagree, on the record, over who texted first turns into a running joke by the reception.
Wedding Website RSVP Wording
Your RSVP page wording needs four things: how to respond, the deadline, what information you need from each guest, and what happens if they don’t reply. Most couples only write the first one, then spend the month before the wedding chasing silence.
Clear RSVP instructions do more for your headcount than any reminder campaign. Here’s the wording:
RSVP Page Instructions
We can't wait to celebrate with you!
Please RSVP below by [date].
You'll be asked to choose your entrée and note any dietary needs, so bring your appetite opinions.
Questions? Email us at [email] and we'll get right back to you.
RSVP Deadline Wording
Kindly reply by [date]. If we haven't heard from you by then, we'll assume you're unable to join us and will release your seat (and miss you!).
That second template matters more than it looks. A deadline with a stated consequence gets answers; a floating date does not. It’s the same principle behind all good wedding RSVP etiquette: tell people exactly what you need and when.
Give one RSVP channel and repeat the deadline right next to it. “RSVP here by June 5th” on the button itself removes every excuse.
Offer the website, a phone number, and an email all at once. Three channels means three lists to merge, and at least one aunt who replies to all three with different answers.
Ask for meal choices and dietary needs inside the RSVP form, not in a separate email later. And when the deadline passes and a few guests have gone quiet (they will), here’s what to do when wedding guests don’t RSVP.
Here’s the part nobody tells you: the RSVP form is the real reason you built the website. A free Mixily event page works as a simple wedding website with RSVP tracking built in. Your welcome message, schedule, and RSVPs live on one beautiful page with zero ads, and the free tier covers 50 invites and 40 RSVPs per event (Lite is $19 and Pro is $29 if your guest list is bigger). You can even use Mixily for your wedding invitations and run the whole thing from one link. Create your free wedding page on Mixily →
Travel and Accommodations Wording
Your travel page should answer three questions in order: how do I get there, where do I sleep, and how do I get around? Use those as bold mini-headers so out-of-town guests can skim.
Getting there: [Airport code] is the closest airport, about [X] minutes from the venue. [Alternate airport] is another option and sometimes cheaper.
Staying: We've reserved a room block at [Hotel] under "[Last Name] Wedding." Book by [date] to get the group rate: [booking link or phone number]. [Neighborhood] also has plenty of rentals if you'd rather have a kitchen.
Getting around: [We're running a shuttle between the hotel and venue / Parking is free at the venue / Rideshares are quick and easy in the area]. The ceremony starts at [time] sharp, so plan to arrive by [15 to 30 minutes earlier].
Put the room block booking deadline in bold. Hotel blocks release rooms on a hard date, and “the block was full” is the most common travel complaint at any wedding.
Wedding Registry Wording
Mention your registry on the website in one or two sentences, and never on the invitation itself. The website is exactly where guests expect to find it, so you don’t need to be shy or elaborate. Short reads as gracious. Long reads as a pitch.
Traditional Registry Note
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. For those who have kindly asked, we're registered at [Store 1] and [Store 2].
Honeymoon Fund Note
We're lucky to already share a home with everything we need. If you'd like to celebrate us with a gift, we'd be so grateful for a contribution to our honeymoon fund: [link].
No Gifts Note
No gifts, please. Truly. Your company on the dance floor is the only thing we're registered for.
Put registry information on its own website page and let the invitation point to the site. That’s the etiquette-approved chain: invitation → website → registry.
Print registry links or “cash preferred” on the invitation. Even guests who happily give cash flinch when the ask arrives before the party does.
Wedding Website FAQ Page Wording
Your FAQ page exists to answer the questions guests are nervous to ask: what to wear, whether kids are invited, and whether they can bring a date. Answer them warmly and directly, because vague answers generate the exact texts you built this page to prevent.
Dress Code
What should I wear?
The dress code is [cocktail attire]. Translation: suits or sport coats, cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, dressy separates. The ceremony is [outdoors on grass], so consider [block heels or wedges].
Plus-Ones
Can I bring a date?
We'd love to host everyone's favorite people, but our venue holds [number] guests, so we can only accommodate the guests named on your invitation. If your invitation says "and guest," bring them! We can't wait to meet them.
Deciding who gets a plus-one is really a guest list question, and it’s worth settling before the site goes live. My rule of thumb for who makes the guest list: decide by category (all partners of 1+ years, all out-of-town guests), never person by person. Categories are defensible at Thanksgiving. Exceptions are not.
Kids
Are kids invited?
We love your kids. We also love giving you a night off. Aside from the children in our wedding party, this will be an adults-only celebration.
Photos
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We're having an unplugged ceremony, so we ask that phones stay tucked away until the last kiss. Our photographer will catch everything, and we'll share the photos with you. The reception? Post away: [#hashtag].
How to Mention Your Wedding Website on the Invitation
On the invitation, your wedding website gets exactly one line, placed near the bottom after the date, time, and venue. You don’t need to explain what a website is. You need a URL and a deadline.
Copy one of these:
Find all the details and RSVP at [yourwebsite.com]
Please RSVP at [yourwebsite.com] by [date]
For travel information, registry, and to RSVP, please visit [yourwebsite.com]
Sending paper invitations? Add a QR code below the line for the aunts and uncles who won’t type a URL. Sending digital invitations? The line becomes a button, which is one reason free digital wedding invitations convert RSVPs so much faster than paper.
That single line is the only place your invitation and your website overlap. For everything else on the invitation itself (names, hosts, formality levels, QR etiquette), head over to my full guide to digital wedding invitation wording.
