Nothing ticked yet. Start with the schedule and the venue — those are the two questions every guest arrives with.

Answer questions in the order guests ask them

Guests do not read a wedding website. They arrive with one question, find the answer and leave, then come back a week before the wedding with a different one. So put the answers in the order they get asked: the date and the place first, then the time guests should actually arrive, then the dress code, then the RSVP, then travel and where to sleep, and last a name and a way to reach a human. Anything below that line is for the people who have already said yes.

The seven answers that earn the top of the page

The date: Written out in full, so no one mis-reads a numeric format.
The venue: With its complete address and a map link that opens in the phone’s own maps app.
The arrival time: Which is not the ceremony time — say when the doors open and when the ceremony starts, and guests will arrange themselves in between.
The dress code: In words people can act on rather than a phrase they have to look up.
The RSVP: With a deadline stated where it cannot be missed.
Travel and accommodation: Including parking and the nearest station or airport.
One contact: A name, not a form — for the guest whose question the page does not answer.

The checklist above folds the date and the arrival time into one schedule item, and adds two more that are not answers at all — the welcome wording, and testing the finished page on a phone in every language you publish — the two jobs couples most often skip.

Three things that do not belong

Anything that reads as a demand for gifts: If you want to say something about presents, keep it short, keep it in your own voice, and put it below the practical information rather than above it.
A wall of text: A long story pushes the arrival time off the first screen, and the first screen is the only one most guests see.
Anything that expires: A hotel block with a release date, a rate, a shuttle time — unless you are willing to go back and edit it, because a stale detail on a wedding website is worse than no detail at all.

Check the page the way a guest will

Open it on a phone, on mobile data, with the screen at its dimmest. Tap the map link and see where it lands. Send a real reply through the RSVP and confirm it reaches you. Ask one relative who is not confident with phones to find the arrival time without help, and watch how long it takes. If someone can get the date, the place, the time and the dress code without scrolling twice, the page works.

Where to go next

The checklist above holds the list while you work through it; what to include on a wedding website goes through each answer in turn with wording you can copy, and is the place to go once you know which boxes are still empty. Nothing you tick here is stored or sent: the checklist lives in this browser tab, and the download is a plain text file saved to your own device.

FAQ

The questions everyone asks.

What should a wedding website include?+

The date written out in full, the venue with its address and a map link, the arrival time as well as the ceremony time, the dress code in words guests can act on, an RSVP with a visible deadline, travel and accommodation including parking, and one named contact for the question the page does not answer. Everything after that is optional.

Do we still need a wedding website if we send a digital invitation?+

Not as a second address. A digital invitation can carry the schedule, the map, the details and the RSVP in the same link guests already have, which is one less thing to lose in a group chat. A separate site earns its place only when there is far more to say than an invitation page can hold.

What should we leave off a wedding website?+

Anything that reads as a demand for gifts, a long romantic story sitting above the practical details, and anything with an expiry date you will not go back and edit. A released hotel block or a shuttle time that has changed misleads guests more than a missing section would.

When should the wedding website be ready?+

By the time the save-the-dates go out, with the date, the place and a contact already in place even if the dress code and travel notes arrive later. Guests who have to travel start making arrangements the moment they hear the date, so the page has to answer where and when from day one.

Should the RSVP live on the website or on the invitation?+

Wherever the guest already is. One RSVP, one deadline, one place the replies collect — two forms produce two lists and one of them will be wrong. If the invitation collects the replies, the website should link to it rather than repeat it.

Does this checklist save what we tick?+

No. It runs in your browser, and ticking a box changes nothing beyond this tab. The download button writes a plain text copy onto your own device; nothing you tick is uploaded, stored or emailed.
