Why Your FAQ Section Matters

An FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page does more than just answer guest questions. It:

• Reduces stress for you by cutting down repetitive inquiries.
• Makes your website more guest‑friendly and trustworthy.
• Sets clear expectations (dress, transport, timing), so fewer misunderstandings.
• Saves time in the lead‑up to the big day and helps your guest experience be smoother.

Tips for Writing Helpful FAQs

• Use your voice: Make the tone match your wedding — friendly, warm, maybe a bit playful. It helps guests feel closer.
• Be concise but thorough: Brief answers are best, but don’t leave out details that help (transport times, what shoes work, if there’s a rain plan).
• Organize by category: Group questions logically (e.g. all RSVP‑related together, travel together, etc.). Helps for both readability and mobile navigation.
• Update often: If anything changes — venue, schedule, times — update your FAQ and maybe send a notice so guests check back.
• Use visuals when helpful: Maps, diagrams, shuttle schedules, links to weather, parking maps make things easier than words alone.

Don’t Forget This Pre‑Launch Checklist

• Review FAQ questions: walk through from a guest’s perspective—what would you want to know?
• Make sure all dates/times are consistent throughout the site (in FAQ, schedule, invite etc.).
• Check mobile‑view: FAQs are usually browsed from phones — ensure spacing, headings & links work well.
• Test all links (RSVP, maps, registry) so nothing 404s.
• Ensure contact info is correct and easy to find.

Your FAQ section is your chance to help guests feel informed and excited. With clear, kind, and well‑organized answers, you’ll reduce planning stress and make your wedding journey smoother for everyone. Want a layout that looks great out of the box?
