So, that means less time repeating the same response to every one of your wedding guests and more time to crack on with the important things - like cake flavour tasting!
2. When Should I Make My Wedding Website?
Ideally, after you've secured your wedding venue, date and finalised your guest list you should be thinking about making your wedding website.
Keep in mind you'll want to have your wedding website ready to go before your guests receive their save the dates so that they have a reference point for immediate questions. We suggest including a URL to your wedding website on your save the dates and directing them there.

4. What Should I Include in My Wedding Website?

You'll then want to cover everything your loved ones will likely ask later down the line, including dress code, catering options, accommodation and travel. To ensure you don't miss out anything vital, take a look at our guide on everything you need to include in your wedding website.
5. Do I Have to Include Personal Stories on My Wedding Website?
Your wedding website is exactly that - yours, so you don't have to include anything that you don't want to.
While it is a lovely idea to have a blog section highlighting the story of how you met, your proposal and how your wedding planning is coming along, if that doesn't suit you as a couple it is definitely not a must.

8. Can I Customise My Wedding Website?

10. Can I Edit My Wedding Website After I've Published it?
If any of your wedding details change in the run-up to the big day you won't have to rush to tell your guests individually, you have the ability to edit your wedding website as much as you want - even if you've already published it!
