How to Build A Website for Your Wedding

5. Use visuals to tell your story

Your site can also act as a photo album or video collection to capture all the big moments of your relationship. There are a number of ways to add images and videos to your site, but some examples include:

• Using a gallery to create a slideshow from when you first met, to just last week.

• Videos to feature your surprise engagement.

• Images to commemorate special events, like your engagement party.

The photos and videos you want to feature and where can help you make decisions about page layouts. They'll draw attention and dictate where there's space on the page to share other details.

If you're looking for more inspiration for your page layouts, peek at wedding websites for friends or family to get a sense of what you like.

6. Add a registry

Your site is a great way to connect guests with your wedding registry. This way, they can send their gifts ahead of time or shop for engagement party or bridal shower gifts.

You can link more than one registry on your website, so you can create separate registries for different stores or events. On Squarespace websites, you can add a Zola block to link your Zola registry directly to your site and display some of the items on your list.

7. Collect RSVPs

You can also use your site to collect RSVPs from guests. Whether you send physical invitations or not, adding this option to your site makes it easy for guests to respond quickly. It also makes follow-ups simple, since you can text or email guests a link to RSVP alongside a deadline reminder.

Creating an RSVP form for your site allows guests to confirm their attendance, along with other details, like their dinner choice or song requests. In addition to a dedicated RSVP page, link the form with a prominent RSVP button in your header navigation and homepage so it's easy for guests to find.

You can review and organize RSVP submissions via your form's storage option, such as:

After the big day

Your wedding website doesn't need to disappear as soon as you pack up the cake. Keep the site active after the wedding is over and continue your story with honeymoon pictures or use it to share professional photos from the big day.

Consider leaving the registry up a little longer for late friends and family to send gifts. Or start a blog to document your honeymoon, your work on your new fixer-upper home, or to provide parenting tips.
