Your wedding is just around the corner – how exciting! To ensure that your guests are always well informed and to make your own life a little easier, having your own wedding website is simply worth its weight in gold. All the information nicely bundled in one place – practical, charming and above all: all yours. Here are my tips on how to make your website the digital centerpiece of your big day:
1. all important information at a glance
Start with the basics – that’s what your guests want to know first:
- Your names (of course!)
- The wedding date
- Where the celebration will take place (incl. address)
- If ecclesiastical: name and address of the church
- Time at which you expect the guests
2. your love story – real & touching
Give your page some soul! Tell your guests in a few loving lines (with photos or a video if you like) how you met, what moments shaped you – and how you came to say “I do”. This will give your guests goosebumps and bring them even closer to you.
3. tips & tricks for your guests
The better prepared your guests are, the more relaxed everyone will celebrate together:
- Travel organization
A travel agency provides support with accommodation and travel on request – super helpful, especially for longer distances. - Dress code
Gives a little orientation for the look of the day:- For him: Tuxedo, suit or elegant casual style – depending on how festive you like it.
- For her: long, midi or whatever suits the style of your party.
- Styling tips
A list of nearby hairdressing salons or beauty studios can be worth its weight in gold, especially for out-of-town guests. - Transportation & Shuttle
Information on shuttles, driving services or shared transportation make it easier to get between the hotel, church and location. - Weekend program
If you are planning a whole wedding weekend or a destination wedding, give your guests a small timetable:- Day 1: Welcome evening at Location X
- Day 2: Wedding ceremony & party at location Y
- Day 3: Relaxing end to the day by the pool or brunch at the hotel
Don’t forget to mention departure times and meeting points for the shuttle, if organized.
4. your wish list – with heart & style
Give your guests the opportunity to make you happy in a variety of ways:
- Direct links to your online wish lists
- Tips on where you can look forward to classic gifts
- Or perhaps you’d prefer financial support for your honeymoon or new home? You can also communicate this charmingly.
5. practical & discreet: gifts by bank transfer
If you would like to give gifts via bank transfer or PayPal, you can easily do so on your website:
- Integrate a QR code for your account details
- Or a QR code for the PayPal account
If your website does not support this, you can also share this information in style with the invitation or in direct contact with the guests.
Conclusion: Your website is like a digital welcome sign – it can be informative, stylish and completely individual. Take the opportunity to design it with love: with your best pictures, short videos and personal words.
And if you don’t want to lose track of all the details: I, Simone, am there for you with heart, experience and style. Creating unforgettable moments – that’s my thing!
