FAQs for Wedding Website: 14 Questions to Answer on Your Site

Wedding invitations typically include a link to a wedding website. These sites, often templates, can feature a FAQ page where wedding guests can find essential information about the special day. The wedding website FAQ page can help guests, especially out-of-town guests who may need travel information. From RSVP deadlines and wedding registry information to the wedding ceremony start time and other wedding details, FAQ pages answer important questions. FAQs prepare guests for the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, after-party, and more.

Wedding events require a lot of planning. Include these common questions on your FAQ page so guests know what to expect for the big day:

1. 1. Am I allowed to bring my children? Let parents and caregivers know whether or not the invitation extends to children, so they can plan accordingly.
2. 2. Can I take pictures during the ceremony? Some couples want an unplugged wedding and restrict the use of phones during the ceremony. If that is the case, you can also note that an on-site wedding photographer will snap photos.
3. 3. Do I get a plus one? Couples might choose to limit the number of plus ones on the guest list. Be sure to specify if guests can bring a plus one on their invitation.
4. 4. How do I get there? Include directions to the wedding venue and note if you will provide transportation for guests. Let guests know if they can find parking at the event locations.
5. 5. How does the pandemic affect the wedding? If the wedding venue or bride and groom have particular preferences for handling health and safety, include that information in this FAQ section. Also, note if people will have the option to watch the ceremony virtually if they cannot attend in person.
6. 6. Is it an open bar? Let people know if they will have to pay for their drinks at cocktail hour and the reception so they can plan to bring cash.
7. 7. Is there a gift registry? Link your guests to your wedding registry with gifts at different prices so people can purchase accordingly.
8. 8. What are the weekend events and wedding day timeline? Give guests a rundown of the weekend. List the wedding reception location, event start and end times, and descriptions for activities. Leave any private events off the main website to avoid confusion.
9. 9. What if I have dietary restrictions? Some people have allergies or food preferences. Tell guests to message you about restrictions or have them note it on the wedding RSVP.
10. 10. What is the dress code? The dress code is a must-know for wedding guests so they can plan what to pack and wear. Share whether it is a black-tie, semi-formal, or casual event, and include if the festivities will take place indoors or outdoors.
11. 11. What should we bring? If you recommend people bring specific items—such as umbrellas, sunscreen, or hiking shoes—do list those on your website.
12. 12. What’s the wedding hashtag? Sometimes, the engaged couple or wedding party will invent a witty wedding hashtag that combines the newlyweds’ names. When people use the hashtag on social media, it allows others to search for that keyword and find others’ pictures and videos from the fun weekend.
13. 13. Where do I RSVP? Note on the website whether guests should RSVP with a response card in the invitation or include a simple form for an online RSVP. As part of the RSVP, you might share the type of food available at the wedding event so people can select their meals in advance.
14. 14. Where should we stay? Whether planning a local or destination wedding, you may have people traveling from afar to attend the festivities. List some hotels or places to stay in this section, and be sure to include discount codes for hotel room blocks if applicable.
