At a glance

A wedding website FAQ (frequently asked questions, also called a Q&A page) should answer ten common questions: ceremony time, dress code, children, plus-ones, RSVP, registry, where to stay, directions, transportation and dietary restrictions. A destination wedding adds ten more, from the airport to the currency. Keep each answer to two to four sentences and update the page whenever your arrangements change. Example answers to copy are below.

Common FAQs for a wedding website

The common FAQs for a wedding website are these ten, which apply to any wedding. Answer each in two to four sentences.

QuestionWhat the answer needs
What time does the ceremony start?The start time and when to arrive
What is the dress code?What to wear in plain words, and whether guests stand on grass or sand
Are children welcome?Yes or no, and at which events
Can I bring a plus-one?Who each invitation covers
How do I RSVP?Where to reply and the deadline
Is there a registry?A link, or a line saying no gifts
Where should I stay?The hotel, its booking link and the deadline
How do I get to the venue?The address and where to park
Will there be transportation?Shuttle times and the pickup point
What if I have a dietary restriction?How to tell you, and by when

Link to the hotel booking page, the taxi company or the airport transfer service instead of describing each one. If guests are travelling, add the ten destination questions.

Wedding website FAQ examples to copy

These wedding website FAQ examples answer four of the common questions. Replace the brackets with your details.

What time does the ceremony start?

The ceremony starts at [time] at [venue]. Please arrive by [time] so everyone is seated before we begin. The full schedule is on the Schedule page.

What is the dress code?

Semi-formal. For the wedding, midi-length dresses and tailored suits with ties are right. The welcome dinner is one step less formal: think dinner at a good restaurant. The farewell brunch is relaxed.

The wedding dress code guides say what each code means, semi-formal included.

How do I RSVP?

RSVPs are through this website. Click RSVP in the menu, enter your name and confirm which events you will attend. Please respond by [date]. If your question is not covered here, email us at [email].

What if I have a dietary restriction?

Tell us when you RSVP: the form asks about allergies and dietary needs. If anything changes after [date], email [email].

Wedding FAQ sample answers for children, plus-ones and gifts

These wedding FAQ sample answers cover the three policies that are awkward to word: children, plus-ones and gifts. State the policy once. Apologising once is kind; apologising more than once makes the answer worse.

Are children welcome?

We have decided on an adults-only wedding for the ceremony and reception. We know this is a big ask for some families and are so sorry if the timing does not work. Children are welcome at the welcome dinner on Friday, where a kids' table will be set up.

If the wedding is adults only, the Emily Post Institute notes that the RSVP page can say whether you are providing a babysitter, or list local sitters.

Can I bring a plus-one?

We have room for the guests named on each invitation. If yours says "and guest", please bring someone and add their name when you RSVP.

Is there a registry?

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. If you still want to contribute, we have a small registry at [link].

The Emily Post Institute's advice is to share registry details by word of mouth and on the wedding website, never on the invitation or its enclosures, and to add a line of thanks beside the links.

Questions to put on a destination wedding website

The questions to put on a wedding website for a destination wedding are the ten below, added to the ten common ones. Skip them and you will answer each one by text.

QuestionWhat the answer needs
Which airport should I fly into?The airport name and code, and the drive to the hotel
What is the cheapest way to get from the airport to the hotel?The shuttle, train or taxi, with a booking link
Do I need a visa?A link to the official entry rules
Are there hotel blocks, and how do I book one?The hotel, the booking link and the deadline
What should I pack for the weather?The weather to expect and what each event calls for
What is the wedding-weekend schedule?Each event with its day and time
Are any welcome events covered by the couple?Which events you host and which guests pay for
Should I arrive on Friday or Thursday?The latest arrival that makes the first event
Can I extend my trip into a mini-holiday?Whether the room rate covers extra nights
What currency is used and should I bring cash?The currency, and where cards are not accepted

The visa answer depends on each guest's passport, so link to a government page instead of stating a rule. USAGov sends US citizens to the State Department's country pages for entry, exit and visa requirements, and the GOV.UK travel checklist notes that a passport may need to be valid for a set period after the trip ends. For packing, link to a destination wedding packing list for guests.

Wedding website Q&A examples for a destination wedding

These wedding website Q&A examples cover the airport, the hotel block and entry rules.

Which airport should I fly into?

Fly into [airport code], [airport name]. Most guests arrive from [major cities] with direct service. The drive from the airport to the hotel is about [X] minutes. We have arranged a shuttle; check the Travel page for the schedule.

Are there hotel blocks?

Yes, we have reserved a block of rooms at [Hotel Name] at a reduced rate. Book through [booking link] before [deadline]. If the block fills, other nearby options are listed on the Accommodations page.

Do I need a visa?

It depends on your passport. Check the entry rules for [country] at [official link] before you book flights, and check your passport's expiry date at the same time.

For the travel and accommodations pages themselves, see these wedding website examples.

Q and A for a wedding website: the same page as an FAQ

A Q and A for a wedding website is the same page as an FAQ: a list of guests' questions, each followed by your answer. Q&A (questions and answers) and FAQ (frequently asked questions) are two labels for one thing, so use whichever your website builder gives you.

Give the page its own entry in the main navigation and keep every question on it, so guests have one place to look. On an Aisle wedding website the questions are one list in the closing section of the site, under a label you can change. If you are still choosing a builder, see what wedding website you should use.

Frequently asked questions for a wedding website: how many to include

Include ten frequently asked questions for a local wedding and fifteen to twenty for a destination wedding.

If you need more than twenty, your Travel, Accommodations and Schedule pages are doing too little work. Move the detail there and leave a short answer with a link. Put the questions every guest has, such as the ceremony time, dress code and RSVP, at the top.

What not to put in a wedding website FAQ

Five things do not belong in a wedding website FAQ.

Leave outWhere it belongs
The full wedding programmeThe Schedule page
Long explanations of your choicesNowhere; guests do not need your reasoning
Anything that might cause drama, such as divorced parents' seating or a banned exA private word with the person who asked
Details that may change: dates, locations, the full dress codeThe main event pages, with a short FAQ answer pointing there
An event only some guests are invited to, such as the rehearsal dinnerA message to those guests

The last row is a caution from the Emily Post Institute: guests who read about a rehearsal dinner on the site can assume they are meant to attend.

When to publish and update your wedding FAQs

Publish your wedding FAQs with the rest of the website: before the save-the-dates go out if you can, and before the invitations at the latest. That is the Emily Post Institute's timing for a wedding website as a whole. See also destination wedding save-the-dates.

Update the page whenever your arrangements change, and look at it again every six to eight weeks as questions arrive. If two or more guests ask the same question, add it to the FAQ instead of replying one-to-one each time. For guests who avoid the internet, Emily Post's advice is to send the same information on paper.

Share the confirmed arrangements

For the setup around these answers, use the wedding website checklist and organizer RSVP guide. The Aisle website hub links the design, guest access and room tools in one place.

Common questions

What FAQs should you put on a wedding website?+

Put ten FAQs on a wedding website: what time the ceremony starts, the dress code, whether children are welcome, plus-ones, how to RSVP, the registry, where to stay, how to get to the venue, transportation and dietary restrictions.

Is a Q&A page the same as an FAQ page on a wedding website?+

Yes. Q&A (questions and answers) and FAQ (frequently asked questions) are two names for the same wedding website page: a list of the questions guests ask, each with your answer. Use whichever label your website builder gives you.

How do you word the RSVP answer on a wedding website?+

The RSVP answer on a wedding website should say where to reply, what to enter and the deadline. For example: "RSVPs are through this website. Click RSVP in the menu, enter your name and confirm which events you will attend. Please respond by [date]."

How do you word the registry answer on a wedding website?+

Keep the registry answer on a wedding website brief and link straight to the registry. For example: "Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. If you still want to contribute, we have a small registry at [link]." The Emily Post Institute advises sharing registry details on the wedding website and by word of mouth, never on the invitation.

What extra FAQs does a destination wedding website need?+

A destination wedding website needs ten extra FAQs: which airport to fly into, the cheapest way from the airport to the hotel, visas, hotel blocks, what to pack for the weather, the weekend schedule, which welcome events the couple is covering, which day to arrive, extending the trip, and currency.

How many FAQs should a wedding website have?+

A wedding website should have ten FAQs for a local wedding and fifteen to twenty for a destination wedding. Past twenty, move the detail to your Travel, Accommodations and Schedule pages instead of adding more questions.

How often should you update a wedding website FAQ?+

Update a wedding website FAQ whenever your arrangements change, and once the site is live, look at it every six to eight weeks as questions arrive. A rule of thumb: if two or more guests ask the same question, it belongs on the FAQ.
