Timing is everything — especially when it comes to planning your wedding. From booking the venue to sending invitations, most decisions fall into a timeline. And your wedding website? It’s no different.

In this 2025 guide, we’ll break down exactly when to launch your wedding website, what to add at each stage, and how to keep it fresh and helpful for guests — without constant stress.

Why the Timeline Matters

Your wedding website acts as a central hub for your celebration. Launch too early, and it may sit empty. Launch too late, and guests might miss important info. When timed right, it helps everyone — including you — stay on track and informed.

With a modern platform like Weddnesday, updates are easy and templates like Clara make every stage look polished, even if your to-do list feels messy.

9–12 Months Out: Launch a Save-the-Date Website

As soon as you know your date and city (even if not the final venue), publish a simple site. This acts like a digital save-the-date — perfect for long-distance guests, especially if you're skipping physical cards.

What to include:

• Your names
• Wedding date
• City and general location
• “More details coming soon” note

If you’re using Weddnesday, this early version takes minutes. Just select the Clara template, add a photo, and publish. You can edit everything later.

6–8 Months Out: Add Key Details

This is when your wedding website becomes a full guide. You’ll want to update it with:

• Venue names and addresses
• Start times
• Hotel blocks or travel info
• Registry links
• Your story and photos

Don’t worry if you’re not “done” yet. Modern templates like Clara allow you to build section by section. And if you're not sure how to add personality? Start with this article:

4–6 Months Out: Open RSVPs

Once your guest list is finalized and your invites are ready (digital or printed), it’s time to enable RSVPs.

Digital RSVPs work best when they’re simple and mobile-friendly. Weddnesday’s RSVP forms are optimized for both. Guests can confirm attendance, add meal preferences, and leave notes — all in one flow.

1–3 Months Out: Add Travel, FAQs & Dress Code

Guests will start making plans — help them by updating your FAQ and travel sections. Think:

• Parking instructions
• Weather tips
• What to wear
• Things to do nearby
• Livestream info, if applicable

This is where couples often miss important updates. If you’re unsure what to include, check this guide:

2 Weeks Out: Confirm RSVPs and Send a Reminder

Double-check your guest list. If a few people haven’t responded, send a friendly reminder and update your RSVP cutoff.

Pro tip: Add a message banner to your homepage like “We can’t wait to see you! Please RSVP by July 25.”

After the Wedding: Share the Memories

Your website isn’t done when the party ends. It becomes the perfect place to share a thank-you note, link to photo galleries, or upload a replay of your livestream.

You can also add a final message like: “We’re still glowing. Thank you for making our day unforgettable 💕”

What to Avoid

Some couples launch a full website months in advance — then forget to update it. This leads to confusion and texts like “Wait, where’s the venue again?”

Others wait too long, forcing guests to chase info through email threads and group chats.

Get the timing right, and your site becomes your best planning tool. For a list of what not to do, read:

Final Thoughts

Your wedding website is not a “set it and forget it” tool. It evolves with your planning process — and the more useful it is, the more your guests will appreciate it.

Launch early. Update often. Keep it personal and guest-friendly.
