In short: a wedding website FAQ answers the questions guests would otherwise text you — plus-ones, children, parking, dress code, gifts, timings and what happens if it rains. Keep each answer to one or two sentences, be kind but clear, and put the FAQ one tap from the home page.
Every couple receives the same twenty messages in the month before the wedding. Answer them once, on the website, and your phone goes quiet. Change the names, dates and places; keep the tone.
The invitation
1. Can I bring a plus-one?
“We have kept the wedding small, so we can only welcome the guests named on your invitation. Thank you for understanding.”
2. Are children invited?
“We love your little ones, but this is an adults-only celebration. We hope it is a night off for you.” — or, if they are: “Children are very welcome; there will be a quiet room with a sitter from 20:00.”
3. When is the RSVP deadline?
“Please reply on this website by 1 May 2027 — it takes ten seconds.”
4. I cannot come to the ceremony — can I come to the party?
“Of course. Tell us in your reply and we will save you a place from 19:00.”
The day
5. What time should I arrive?
“The ceremony starts at 15:00 sharp. Please arrive from 14:30.”
6. Is there parking?
“Yes, free parking behind the chapel. Follow the white signs from the road.”
7. Is there a shuttle?
“A shuttle leaves the Hotel du Parc at 14:15 and returns at 23:00 and 01:00.”
8. Is the venue accessible?
“The ceremony and dinner are step-free. Tell us in your reply if you need anything and we will arrange it.”
9. Is the ceremony indoors or outdoors?
“Outdoors, on the lawn — on grass, so leave the stilettos for the dance floor.”
10. What if it rains?
“We have a plan B under the barn roof. The timings stay the same.”
What to wear
11. What is the dress code?
“Cocktail: a suit without a tie, a dress you could dance in.” Name the code, then translate it — more wording for every section here.
12. Can I wear white?
“We would kindly ask you to leave white and ivory to the bride.”
13. Will it be cold in the evening?
“Evenings by the lake are cool in June. Bring a layer for after sunset.”
Food and drink
14. Can you accommodate my diet?
“Yes — tell us about allergies and dietary needs in your reply and the caterer will prepare for you.”
15. Is there a vegetarian option?
“Every course has a vegetarian option; no need to ask in advance.”
Gifts
16. Do you have a gift list?
“Your presence is the gift. If you would like to contribute to our honeymoon, there is a link below.”
17. Can I bring a gift on the day?
“There will be a card box by the entrance; please do not bring anything large.”
Photos and phones
18. Is it an unplugged ceremony?
“We ask for phones away during the ceremony — our photographer will share everything with you afterwards.”
19. Where can I share my photos?
“Scan the QR code on your table to add your photos to our shared album.”
Everything else
20. Who do I contact with a question?
“Write to Claire, our maid of honour, at claire@example.com — not the bride, please, she has enough to do.”
Where to put the FAQ
On its own page, one tap from the home page, or at the end of the details page. Group the questions under three or four headings like the ones above, so guests can scan instead of scroll. If you are building your wedding website in Canva, start with our step-by-step guide; every Vowery wedding website template already has a details page laid out for timings, map, travel and dress code.
Questions couples ask
Do we need an FAQ on our wedding website?
If your guests will travel, stay overnight or bring children, yes. It saves dozens of messages.
How long should the answers be?
One or two sentences. If an answer needs more, it belongs on the details page.
How do we say no to plus-ones politely?
Thank guests for understanding, explain the reason in a few words (a small wedding, a limited venue), and never single anyone out.
