How to create a wedding website: what to include and when to launch

Choose a builder around the guest tasks you need: reading details, replying to events, finding a room or paying for one. Try its guest experience before spending time on colors. Free publishing and paid website costs are a separate decision from whether the design looks right.

• Add the confirmed names, date and venue. If a detail is undecided, say when you will update it instead of presenting a guess.
• Choose a standard template and add your own cover photo. Keep important text readable on a phone.
• Write the schedule and travel details, including the actual addresses, dates and local times.
• Prepare the guest list and event invitations, then configure the RSVP questions you need answered.
• Preview, publish when ready and send the exact link. Recheck it when plans change.

Aisle is free to build and preview. Publishing costs $19.99 USD per month after a seven-day free trial with a card required upfront; cancel anytime. Returning subscribers do not receive another trial. Domain purchases are a separate annual charge.

Your story and photos are optional. No universal page count makes a website complete; a small wedding may need only a few sections. For wording, use annotated website examples and sample wedding FAQs.

Work backward from the first decision guests need to make. For a trip, that may be before formal invitations, once the location and date are confirmed and there is enough accommodation information to book responsibly. For a nearby wedding, sharing with the save-the-date may be sufficient. These are planning suggestions, not fixed notice periods.

Choose the RSVP deadline from your caterer, venue, room-release and transport deadlines, leaving time to follow up. Do not assume an online reply automatically reserves a room or a shuttle seat.

Open the published link on a phone. Check the date and venue, follow the directions, and ask a trusted invited guest to try their own RSVP. Review a guest with different event invitations as well if your weekend has private events. Avoid sharing private invitations or guest details in public screenshots.

Keep a short offline copy of the final schedule and a contact number for the wedding day. For your next setup steps, import your guest list, set up event RSVPs and decide whether you need a custom domain.
