The easiest way to plan your own wedding website is to look at a few good ones. Below are three live demo sites, one for each of our templates, with notes on what each does well. Then we cover the sections every wedding website needs, sample wording you can adapt and a few things worth leaving out.
Example 1: Hannah & James, a classic church wedding
Hannah and James marry at St. Philip’s Chapel in Charleston, South Carolina, on a June Saturday at 4:00 PM, then celebrate at a courtyard venue across town at 6:00 PM. Their site uses the Chapel template: script names, soft cream tones and a small line drawing of a chapel.
What it does well:
- The verse is short and personal. Their invitation opens with a line from Song of Solomon 3:4, and the rest of the site lets the story do the talking.
- It handles the gap. The reception notes tell guests there is lemonade and sweet tea on the courtyard terrace from 5:00 PM, so nobody wonders where to go after the service.
- Practical details are specific: arrive by 3:40 PM, the ceremony lasts about 40 minutes, the garage two blocks away stays open late.
- The rehearsal dinner is a private event, visible only to the households invited to it.
- The FAQ answers the awkward questions kindly: adults only apart from the flower girl and ring bearer, and a dry celebration with sparkling cider and a coffee bar.
I found him whom my soul loveth.
Example 2: Grace and Daniel, a formal city wedding
Grace and Daniel’s ceremony is at Grace Fellowship Church in Nashville at 3:00 PM, followed by a 5:30 PM reception at a downtown ballroom. The Covenant template puts Ecclesiastes 4:12 right in the hero, in champagne lettering on deep navy.
- The verse carries the whole site. Their story ends with braiding a cord of three strands during the ceremony, which ties back to the hero.
- Logistics are clear: shuttles leave the church at 4:45 PM, doors open at 2:30 PM, and the dress code is black tie optional.
- One FAQ quietly settles the plus-one question: the invitation lists the number of seats reserved for each guest.
A threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Example 3: Abigail & Samuel, an outdoor garden wedding
Abigail and Samuel marry in an orchard near Asheville, North Carolina, at 5:00 PM, with supper and dancing in the barn next door and a farewell brunch on the family porch the next morning. Olive Grove gives them sage tones and botanical borders that suit the setting.
- The tone matches the day: an invitation to “an evening of worship, supper and celebration in the Blue Ridge Mountains.”
- Outdoor details are covered up front: garden casual, flat shoes recommended for the lawn, and the barn is the rain plan.
- A small, warm Events list (ceremony, supper, farewell brunch) shows how a weekend wedding can stay simple.
Whither thou goest, I will go.
What every good wedding website includes
- Home: your names, date, city and, if you like, a verse.
- Our Story: two short paragraphs are plenty.
- Ceremony & Reception: both venues, times, addresses and maps, plus what guests should do in between.
- Events: rehearsal dinner, welcome party or farewell brunch, if you have them.
- Travel: airport, hotel suggestions and any room block details.
- Registry: links to where you’re registered.
- FAQ: the questions guests would otherwise text you.
- Photos: a few favorite engagement or everyday pictures.
- RSVP: a clear deadline, meal choices and dietary needs.
Our Story wording with faith woven in
Faith reads best when it is part of the story rather than a sermon on top of it. Mention the church, the small group or the prayer that actually mattered, and keep the rest about the two of you.
We met at a church potluck in the fall of 2022, both reaching for the last slice of pecan pie.
He let me have it. I still say that’s when I knew.
Two years of Sunday lunches, a lot of long walks and many prayers later,
he proposed on the porch where my grandparents were married.
We can’t wait to celebrate with the people who have walked with us.
FAQ examples you can borrow
We’re hosting a dry celebration with sparkling cider, lemonade and a coffee bar.
We love your little ones, but our celebration will be adults only,
apart from the children in our wedding party.
Garden formal: suits or dresses in light colors.
The ceremony is on the lawn, so flat shoes or block heels are a good idea.
Yes. The church lot opens at 3:00 PM, and there is overflow parking across the street.
What to leave out
- Private events on the public schedule. If only some guests are invited, keep those details private.
- Long devotionals. One verse you love says more than a page of commentary.
- Guilt-trip gift wording. A simple line and your registry links are enough.
- Private details such as your home address or anything you wouldn’t want shared beyond your guests. Sites are hidden from search engines by default, and you can add a password.
