Wedding website wording examples you can copy

The welcome message

The home page welcome sets the tone and, ideally, front-loads the essentials — who, when, where — so a guest who reads nothing else still knows the basics.

Warm and simple: "We’re getting married! Welcome to our wedding website — the home for everything you’ll need, from the schedule to travel details to RSVP. We can’t wait to celebrate with you. — Priya & Rohan, [Date], [City]." Or shorter and punchier: "Priya & Rohan are tying the knot on [Date] in [City]. Everything you need is right here — take a look around, and don’t forget to RSVP!"

The “our story” section

Guests love this page, and it’s easier to write as a short, specific arc than a sweeping essay. Hit three beats: how you met, the moment it got serious, and the proposal.

A template you can fill in: "We met in [year] at [place / through whom]. [One specific, true detail — who spoke first, the terrible first impression, the shared friend who set it up.] What started as [coffee / a study group / a swipe] turned into [the thing that made it real]. [Name] proposed at [place] on [occasion], and [the reaction]. The rest, as they say, is history — and we’re so glad you’re part of the next chapter." Keep it a few short paragraphs; specifics beat superlatives every time.

FAQ answers guests actually ask

The FAQ page prevents the most texts. Answer the real questions plainly. Here are the ones that come up on nearly every wedding, with wording you can lift:

• Are kids invited?. "We love your little ones, but we’ve chosen to keep our celebration adults-only so everyone can relax and enjoy the night. We hope this gives you an excuse for a night out!"
• What’s the dress code?. "The dress code is [cocktail / festive / black-tie optional]. If you’re unsure, [a concrete cue — think garden-party florals, or jewel tones]. For the [outdoor ceremony], note the [grass / heat] and plan footwear accordingly."
• What about a registry / gifts?. "Your presence is the only present we need. If you’d like to give a gift, we’ve put together a registry [here] — and a contribution toward [our honeymoon / first home] is always appreciated."
• Can I bring a plus-one?. "Your invitation will note whether a plus-one is included. If your envelope or RSVP lists a guest, they’re warmly invited — and if you’re unsure, just reach out."
• When should I RSVP by?. "Please RSVP by [date] so we can finalize numbers with our venue. It only takes a minute — just [tap the link we texted you / look up your name on the RSVP page]."

The travel and accommodations section

Out-of-town guests need this most, so be concrete: where to stay, how to get there, and how to get around. Wording you can adapt:

"Getting here: The nearest airport is [airport, code], about [X] minutes from the venue. Hotels & room blocks: We’ve reserved a block at [Hotel] — book by [date] with code [CODE] for our rate. [Second hotel] is a nearby alternative. Getting around: [Rideshare is easy in the area / We’ll run a shuttle between the hotel and the venue — times on the schedule page.] Coming from out of town? We recommend arriving by [Friday afternoon] so you don’t miss [the welcome dinner]." If guests are traveling internationally, add a line: "Traveling from abroad? Reach out if you need a letter for a visa, and check passport validity well ahead."

A note on tone and keeping it current

Whatever you copy, read it aloud once and adjust until it sounds like you — a website that sounds like a template reads like one. Match the formality to your wedding: a black-tie evening wants a slightly more polished voice than a backyard party.

And because details change, keep the site as your single source of truth: update the schedule or a hotel block in one place and it’s current for everyone. With Duva, the same details power your RSVP and any reminders you send, so the words on your site and the texts to your guests never drift out of sync.
