Wedding website examples in 2026: what to put on yours and where to build it

What to put on a wedding website (using the Heya template as a worked example)

Our wedding template shows how to lay out guest details cleanly. On the home page, put your names, venue, ceremony time, a photo of you two, and buttons for the schedule and RSVP. Below that, a live countdown tracks days, hours, minutes, and seconds until it switches to "Just married" on the day, and the schedule puts the ceremony, dinner, and dancing side by side with start times so nobody has to ask when to arrive.

You can add a short story section with a photo and a few lines on how you met, plus buttons for your gift registry and honeymoon fund. A travel page covers directions, a map link, hotel blocks, shuttle times, dress code, and weather, while the RSVP page lists your reply-by date, an RSVP form button, and answers on plus-ones, kids, food, and photos.

Wedding website wording and layout tips that work on phones

Guests often check wedding sites on their phones while booking hotels or heading to the ceremony, so keep your wording direct and scannable. Put the full date, city, venue name, and start time on the home page before any welcome text, and list exact start times for the ceremony, dinner, and dancing in the schedule. Keep your story to a photo and a few lines on how you met so people don't scroll past walls of text.

On the travel page, pair the venue address with a direct Google Maps link, list exact shuttle departure times, and state the dress code and expected weather so guests pack right. Put the reply-by date right above the RSVP button on the RSVP page, followed by short questions and answers covering extra guests, children, food allergies, and ceremony photos.

Mistakes to avoid when setting up your site

A common mistake is picking a builder before checking how it handles RSVPs, privacy, and custom domains. On Heya, you can link an RSVP button to a Google Form or Tally form to collect names, meal choices, and allergies in a spreadsheet, and turn on the "Hide from Google" setting to keep search engines out. If you want free built-in password protection and meal or plus-one tracking without external forms, use Zola or Joy.

Watch the domain rules too. On The Knot, a $19.99 per year custom domain is non-refundable, can't be edited after registration, and must be manually renewed within 30 days before expiration. Zola requires your site to be set to Visible to Guests for a custom domain to work, and Joy requires guests to install its mobile app to upload gallery photos.
