The Ultimate Wedding Website Checklist: What to Include
Your wedding website is the single source of truth for your guests — from the first Save the Date through the morning of the wedding. Here's when to launch it and exactly what to include at each step.
When to launch your wedding website
Most couples launch their website 6–9 months before the big day, alongside Save the Dates. Open RSVPs 3–4 months out so you have time to finalize headcounts.
