How to Find a Couple's Wedding Website on The Knot
As a wedding guest, you might have logistical questions leading up to the big day, like how to get to the venue or what to wear. Instead of reaching out to the couple directly, there's an easy way to get all the wedding information you need thanks to the couple's wedding website. While the to-be-weds would surely love to hear from you, they'll be busy in the weeks leading up to the wedding and might not have time to answer individual guest questions. Before giving them a call or text, search for the answers you need on their wedding website first. This helpful tool is a one-stop shop for all the wedding details you need, from the date and time to the dress code and their registry information. But how do you find a couple's wedding website? Some will include the link on their invitations, but that's not the only way to find their webpage. Here, we break down exactly how to find a couple's wedding website on The Knot. Plus, we share all the information to look for on their site, so you can answer every question you might have before reaching out to the couple.
How to Find a Couple's Wedding Website on The Knot

What to Look For on a Couple's Wedding Website
So, you found a couple's wedding website. Now what? Their site will be a helpful resource to use in the weeks leading up the big day. Here's what to look for on their custom wedding page.
RSVP Information
Sending in your RSVP in a timely manner is the most important thing to do as a wedding guest (besides showing up on the big day). The couple will need a definitive headcount to share with their venue and team of wedding pros, so submit your RSVP as soon as possible. Formal invites are typically sent out six to eight weeks before the wedding date, so aim to RSVP three to four weeks prior. (The earlier you send in your response, the better.)
Mail-in RSVP cards are still common, but some couples are opting for digital correspondence. The Knot offers RSVP functionality through wedding websites, and this might be their preferred means of receiving your response. If so, you'll be able to RSVP directly through their wedding website. Both their site and formal invitations will have directions on how to respond, so keep an eye out for instructions.
Their Registry
While giving a wedding gift isn't required, it's highly encouraged. If you're not sure what to buy, it's always best to shop directly from the couple's wedding registry first. Most to-be-weds will include their registry information on their wedding website, but you can use the same process as above to find their gift wishlist too. If they don't have a registry set up and you need to buy a present, shop our roundup of the best wedding gifts for great ideas that'll wow.
Wedding Details
Before you text or call the couple to ask about details like the date, time, location or dress code, check their wedding website first. There's a good chance that all of your logistical questions will be answered on their site, making it a valuable resource. If your question isn't answered on their site, try asking members of the wedding party or other guests you know will be attending before going to the couple directly.
Lodging and Travel Accommodations
Depending on the location of the nuptials, the couple may arrange travel and lodging accommodations. This will be helpful information for you, especially if you'll be traveling from out of town. If the couple reserved room blocks at nearby hotels, you might be able to book a discounted stay or coordinate travel with other guests. You'll also need to know if they'll be providing transportation to and from the ceremony and reception, which will help you plan travel logistics for the wedding day (or the entire weekend). Look for this information before making your own transportation arrangements to simplify your prewedding to-do list.
Local Activities
Some to-be-weds customize their wedding website even further with local activities and sightseeing recommendations. If they've taken the time to personalize their wedding website, take full advantage of their creativity. These recs will be especially helpful if you'll be traveling from out of town or if there's downtime in between wedding activities. Browse through any additional pages on the couple's wedding website too, because you never know what hidden information or surprises you'll find.
