Wedbuild: The Complete Guide to Your Wedding Website

You’re about to build your wedding website – the place where your guests stalk all your plans, obsess over what to wear, and triple-check what time they’re supposed to be there.

This guide walks you through everything your site needs so your guests aren’t blowing up your phone with “What time again?” messages. And because you’re using WedBuild, you’re not just slapping info on a page – you’re using AI, smart tools, and a seriously clever room and seating designer to make the whole thing easier, prettier, and way more fun than yet another boring wedding website.

Why Your Wedding Website Actually Matters

Sitting down with your partner to build your wedding site is one of those “oh wow, this is actually happening” moments. You add your date, upload your favourite photos, set up RSVPs – suddenly it feels real, not just a spreadsheet and a Pinterest board.

Your website becomes the home base for your guests. It should be the one place they go (and keep going back to) for:

• Where to be
• When to be there
• What to wear
• How not to get lost
• And what exactly is going on with this whole love story of yours

And here’s the thing: just because you know everything off by heart doesn’t mean your guests do. If your website is replacing traditional paper invites (or even if it’s just backing them up), it needs to carry all the key details.

That’s where WedBuild quietly flexes. Instead of you trying to remember everything, WedBuild uses AI prompts and smart sections to help you fill in the important bits – timelines, FAQs, directions, registry info, and more – so nothing gets missed. You pick a template that feels like you, and WedBuild helps you shape it into a website that’s both gorgeous and actually useful.

This guide covers:

• The obvious details you can’t skip
• The sneaky things people always forget
• Fun “hidden gems” that give your site personality
• What you should be asking your guests
• A final checklist so nothing falls through the cracks

The Obvious Stuff (That You Still Want to Nail)

There are some details your site absolutely has to include. These are the “don’t-make-your-guests-guess” essentials. Put them somewhere obvious, not hidden under six tabs and a cute quote.

Your WedBuild website should include:

• RSVP information
  Let guests know how to RSVP and when you need their response. With WedBuild, your RSVP form can also collect dietary needs, song requests, and other key info in one go – no follow-up spreadsheets required.
• Wedding date and time
  Sounds basic, but this is the entire point. Make it crystal clear: ceremony time, reception time, and whether there’s a gap in between. WedBuild’s smart sections make it easy to lay out your timeline in a clean, easy-to-read way.
• Venue name and address
  Don’t just write “The Barn”. Add the full address, plus a link to maps. On WedBuild, you can drop in map embeds and venue links so everyone can navigate there without drama – and no one is texting you “which driveway is it?” 10 minutes before the ceremony.
• Dress code
  Your guests are all thinking the same thing: What do I wear? Spell it out. Black tie, cocktail, garden party, “please don’t wear white” – say it clearly. If it’s an outdoor or muddy location, give shoe hints. WedBuild lets you add short notes and tooltips so the vibe is clear without writing an essay.
• Your story
  Without this, your website can feel a bit like a logistics page. Talk about how you met, the proposal, or your favourite moments. Keep it sweet, awkward, funny – whatever feels like you. WedBuild’s AI can even help you turn “we met on Hinge and ate too many tacos” into something that sounds romantic without being cringe (unless you like cringe, in which case, go wild).

The Easily Forgotten (But Very Appreciated) Details

Once you’ve nailed the basics, zoom out and think like a guest. If you were travelling to this wedding, what would you be frantically googling the night before? Put those answers on the site.

Things to include on your WedBuild site:

• Location details & directions
  Yes, there’s an address – but add more. A map, landmarks, parking tips, which gate to use, where rideshares should drop off. WedBuild makes it easy to embed maps and add handy little notes so no one ends up at the wrong paddock or function room.
• Wishing well / registry info
  People want to be generous; they just don’t want to guess. Share your registry link or wishing well details in a tactful way. On WedBuild, you can add dedicated registry sections or buttons so it feels smooth and natural – not like a hard sell.
• Accommodation options
  If you’ve organised a hotel block or have nearby stays to recommend, list them clearly. Many couples make a whole weekend of it now, so sharing options at different price points is super helpful. WedBuild can structure this into tidy cards rather than a messy wall of text.
• Transport plans
  Shuttle buses, group taxis, parking info, or “good luck, it’s Uber-only out here” – whatever the situation is, explain it. Include departure times, pick-up spots, and whether guests can leave cars overnight.
• Childcare plan
  If kids are invited, let parents know what the setup is. If you’ve organised babysitters or a kids’ room, include contact details and times. If it’s a child-free event, say it politely and clearly.
• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
  This is where WedBuild’s AI really shines. It can help you draft FAQs for things like:
• “Can I bring a plus one?”
• “Is there parking?”
• “What time does the bar close?”
• “Can we post on social media?”
  A good FAQ section saves you from replying to the same text 27 times.

Remember: your guests are taking time off work, booking babysitters, sorting outfits, and travelling just to be there for you. A well-thought-out website is a small way of saying, “We see you, and we’ve made this easy.”

Wedding Website Hidden Gems (Where the Fun Lives)

Now for the bit that makes your site feel like you and not a corporate event landing page. These add personality and give guests something to smile about between logistics.

Ideas to sprinkle into your WedBuild site:

• “Things to Do Around Town” list
  Got guests travelling in? Add your favourite local cafes, bars, shops, or walks. Bonus points if they mean something to your relationship – the brunch spot where you had your first date, the lookout where you got engaged, or the pub where someone spilled the proposal secret early.
• Video message from you two
  Record a short, casual video thanking guests for coming and telling them how excited you are. Pop it on your WedBuild homepage or “Welcome” section – it instantly makes the site feel warm and personal.
• Photo gallery
  A “then and now” gallery always goes down well. Show early days vs now, travel pics, engagement shots, chaotic selfies – whatever feels real. WedBuild makes it easy to organise your photos so it looks intentional, not like a Facebook dump.
• Meet the wedding party
  Not everyone will know everyone. Introduce your bridal party/groomsmen/crew ahead of time with short, fun bios and a photo. That way, on the day, guests won’t be thinking “Who’s that doing a speech?” – they’ll already feel like they know them.
• Sneak peek of the reception layout
  This is where WedBuild gets fancy. The room and seating designer lets you build a layout of your reception room – tables, dance floor, bar, the lot. You can use it to plan your seating chart, and even share a version on your site so guests can see where they’re sitting and how the space is set up.

Information to Collect From Your Guests

Your website isn’t just about telling guests things – it’s also about getting the info you need so your day runs smoothly.

WedBuild’s smart RSVP forms and automations make this part way less painful. You can collect:

• Meal choices
  If you’re offering menu options, ask guests to choose theirs when they RSVP. Don’t forget to include:
  • Dietary requirements
  • Allergies
  • Vegetarian/vegan options
    Your caterer will love you, and you won’t be playing food Tetris a week before the wedding.
• Song requests
  Let guests request a song for the dance floor. It’s a fun way to include them, and WedBuild can feed these straight into your planning notes. Yes, you may end up with some chaotic choices, but that’s half the fun.
• Trivia questions or fun facts
  Planning a trivia game or “how well do you know the couple” moment? Ask guests to submit funny memories or facts when they RSVP. These can be used in speeches, games, or just to entertain you both before the big day.
• Video messages
  You can invite guests to record a short video wishing you well or offering marriage advice. These can be played at the reception or watched later when you’re back in pyjamas and the flowers have wilted.
• Photos from the past
  Ask guests to upload a favourite photo of you, your partner, or the three of you together. Later, you can build a slideshow or printed collage.
• Accommodation needs
  If you’re coordinating rooms or transport, ask guests early whether they’ll need accommodation or transfers. WedBuild lets you add custom questions so you can capture everything in one place.

Behind the scenes, WedBuild then helps you organise this info – linking RSVPs to seating, noting dietary flags, and feeding into your room layout so you’re not dragging names around a spreadsheet at midnight.

Your Final WedBuild Wedding Website Checklist

Before you hit “publish”, quickly run through this list and make sure you’ve covered:

• Clear RSVP details (including meal choices, dietary needs, song requests, and any other info you need)
• Wedding date and time
• How to get to the venue – address, map, and simple directions
• Dress code with any practical tips
• Your story as a couple
• Accommodation suggestions
• Transport options (buses, parking, rideshare notes)
• Wishing well / registry info
• Childcare or child-free details
• Whether you’re having an unplugged ceremony or social-media-friendly event
• Your wedding hashtag (if you’re having one)
• A useful FAQ section for all the “quick questions” guests might have
• A few hidden gems: things to do nearby, a video message, photo gallery, or wedding party intros

Double-check all of this once inside WedBuild, and let the AI help you tidy up wording or fill in gaps.

When and How to Share Your Wedding Website

Only start sharing your website once your date and venue are locked in. The beauty of a WedBuild site is that it’s easy to update later if anything changes – timelines, transport, rain plans, you name it.

The best way to share your website link:

• Put the URL (or a QR code) on your save the dates
• Include it again on your formal invitations if you’re sending them
• Send it directly to key guests or family members who are helping you coordinate things

Aim to send save the dates 6–12 months before your wedding so people can sort flights, leave, and babysitters without panic.

Aligning Your Wedding Style (And Why WedBuild Helps)

Your website is often the first impression of your wedding style. It’s not just functional – it’s part of the aesthetic.

With WedBuild, you can:

• Choose on-trend, modern templates that don’t look like they were built in 2009
• Match your colours, fonts, and vibe across your website, digital save the dates, and thank-you cards
• Use AI to help you write copy that sounds like you – not like a formal brochure
• Keep everything in one place: budgets, guest list, seating chart, RSVPs, and website

Instead of juggling six tools, random Excel files, and screenshots, WedBuild pulls planning and design together. The room design seating builder helps you literally map out your reception space, and smart features connect guest responses to where they sit, what they eat, and what they’ve requested.

It’s not just another wedding website template – it’s a planning hub that makes the whole process less chaotic and more “we’ve actually got this under control.”

One Last Thing…

At the end of the day, your website is there so you can stop answering the same questions and start enjoying the process. When you load it up with all the right information, a few fun extras, and let WedBuild’s AI and smart tools do some of the heavy lifting, everything runs smoother.

The more your website works for you, the more you get to focus on the actual point of all this: marrying your favourite person and enjoying every second of it. 💍✨
