Having a wedding website is by no means a requirement, but many Georgia couples are finding a great way to build the excitement for the big day by having a web page dedicated to it! A wedding website is a perfect resource to share more than can fit on a save the date or invitation. Websites can include bonus information to further personalize it like the engagement story, and useful information like links to the gift registry or hotel blocks.

Wedding Website: What’s Needed?
Your wedding website is expected to include useful information for those attending your wedding, and for those who are unable to, but want to still send you a wedding gift. Be sure your website includes these four main details:
- Wedding date and time
- Location and address of the ceremony and reception
- Links to your gift registry
- Details on reserving rooms with any hotel room blocks
Wedding Registries
Popular wedding website providers include registry integration to make it easy for your guests to shop for wedding gifts right from your site! Instead of sharing where your long registry link on your physical invite, you can share your registry details and more wedding details are on your wedding website, encouraging guests to use the website as a resource for your big day!
Keep in mind, some wedding-specific websites, like Zola and Wedding Wire, make it much easier if you are using their own registry platforms. These registries let you include gifts from a variety of stores like Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Amazon, but instead of your guests shopping individually at each store, you would have one universal registry, bringing all your picks from various stores on one page for the buyer. If you do register for gifts at a few places separately, you can still simply add links to each of your registries on your wedding website.
So, when you’ve run out of space on your wedding invitation, want a platform to share your favorite engagement photos, or want to share your favorite spots in the town of your wedding for your guests, a wedding website is a great solution!
