Finding the right wedding website wording is one of the trickier parts of planning. You want warmth, clarity, and just enough formality to match the day. Below are tested templates American couples can adapt.

Welcome section wording

Your welcome is the first thing guests see. Keep it short, personal, and grateful. Try:

“Welcome, friends and family! We are so glad you found your way here. This website has everything you need to celebrate with us — from the date and venue to travel tips and how to RSVP. We cannot wait to see you.”

Our story wording

Keep this paragraph to 100 to 200 words. An example opener:

“We met on a rainy Tuesday at a coffee shop in Brooklyn and, six years later, we are finally doing this thing. Here is the short version of our story...”

RSVP section wording

Clear, direct, and with a deadline:

“Please RSVP by [date]. You can accept or decline for each guest in your party, choose a meal, and share any dietary needs. If plans change, come back and update your reply — we appreciate it!”

Travel and accommodation wording

American weddings often pull guests from multiple states. Tell them what they need to know:

“The closest airport is [JFK / LAX / ORD]. We have a room block at [hotel] for ${price} USD per night — reference ‘[couple names] Wedding’ when booking. Carpooling tips are below!”

Registry wording

A gentle, grateful line works best. Try:

“Your presence is truly the only gift we need. For those who have asked, we have registries at Target, Amazon, and Crate & Barrel, and a honeymoon fund for an upcoming trip to [destination].”

FAQ wording

Answer the questions you keep getting asked. Common ones:

What is the dress code?
Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?
Are kids welcome?
Can I bring a plus-one?
Is there parking at the venue?

Kids policy wording

“We love your little ones, but to give all our guests a chance to relax we are keeping the celebration adults-only. Thank you for understanding.”

Destination and travel-heavy wording

If a big chunk of your guest list is flying in, add a short note thanking them for the trip and sharing your weekend timeline. A simple line like “Thank you for traveling to be with us — here is what the weekend looks like” goes a long way.

Tone and voice tips

Write the way you speak. Read it aloud.
Trim anything that feels like a form letter.
Thank guests explicitly for traveling, especially for destination weddings.
Include a deadline every time you ask for something.

When your wording is ready, drop it into the builder and publish. See our checklist on what to include on a wedding website to make sure no section is missing.
