So, if you want to be sure they'll stick around and use it, write a wedding website welcome message that's engaging and impactful.

What Should Your Welcome Message Say on Your Wedding Website?

Most wedding website templates include space to write your names along with the wedding date and location. (Aka: The most important info for everyone on your guest list.) There's also the option to add a text box, and that's where we recommend writing a wedding website welcome message that's short, sweet and to the point.

The welcome message on your wedding website serves as a greeting for guests as well as a handy explainer about what to find on your site. Top tip: As well as letting them know what information they can find now, let them know about any last-minute details they should check back for later. Your welcome message is also a great place to plug important reminders (ahem, sending RSVPs). You can also use this space to post important updates throughout your wedding planning journey. For example, "You are invited to join us for brunch on the day after our wedding" or "We've reserved a hotel room block for you to book your stay" along with a link to the details.

(Psst, we've shared the details below to help you plan the rest after you've crafted the perfect welcome message wording.)
