Wedding Website Checklist

Creating a wedding website is an excellent way to communicate with your guests leading up to the big day and your wedding planner can help navigate through this process. Your custom website gives them the information they will need pertaining to the wedding weekend, but it can also be a really cool prelude to the wedding. Share galleries, tell the engagement story, your honeymoon plans, etc. The Knot , Minted, and Wix are all great for creating your perfect wedding website!

Here’s a checklist of things you may want to consider adding, here goes:

The Deets

Your Names- Make sure this is clear, so your guests know the spelling of your fiancées name.

The Date- This is the most important detail.

The Times- It’s always helpful to list a ceremony time with the reception time or reception to immediately follow. If there is a break in between the two, let your guests know so they can plan accordingly.

The Venue/s- Clearly list your venue name, address, city, state and zip. Be sure to Google map first to make sure everyone will be able to access directions.  If your ceremony and venue are at different location, be sure to list both addresses with approximate drive times.

YOUR LOVE STORY

How You Met- Set up, blind date, Tinder- people love this stuff!

When You Knew- The exact moment you knew this was forever. Tell your love story. Try to write this together, they want to know both perspectives.

The Proposal- How did it happen, every detail!

Your Life Together- What do you look like as a couple, what’s at the center of your relationship? What are your career paths, past times, hobbies, passions? This is a great time to really get personal, do you share your faith, love for animals?

YOUR TRIBE- THE WEDDING PARTY

Add photos and stories of your bridal party, how you met and their role in the wedding.

PHOTO GALLERIES

Your Adventures as a Couple- This is fun, share all your favorite family, school, travel and holiday photos!

Engagement Photos- Your photographer will usually do an engagement session with you, this is an awesome spot to showcase these gorgeous images. After all you probably had a really hard time picking the perfect one for the Save the Date!

Photos of the Venue- Give them a sneak peek just to give them a vibe!

WEDDING WEEKEND ITINERARY
