Your wedding website is one of the best tools for keeping your guests informed and excited for your big day. Think of it as your digital home base—where everyone can find the details they need without having to text you for answers in the middle of planning. The right information helps your friends and family feel comfortable, welcomed, and ready to celebrate with you.
Here’s a guide to what you’ll want to include on your wedding website, along with some fun Pittsburgh touches to make it extra personal.
Wedding Website Essentials
Start with the basics your guests absolutely need to know:
Ceremony & Reception Details – Include the ceremony location (for example, Heinz Chapel), the reception venue (for example, the timeless Omni William Penn Hotel), and start times for both.
Hotel Room Blocks – Share booking links so guests can easily reserve a room.
Transportation & Parking – Whether you’re offering shuttles or simply letting guests know about valet or self-parking, make it easy to find.
RSVP Info – Provide a clear deadline and instructions for responding.
Dress Code – Whether you’re going black tie or cocktail chic, give your guests a hint.
Children & Plus-One Policy – Clarify these details upfront to avoid confusion.
Dietary Restrictions – Offer a quick way for guests to share allergies or preferences.
Gift Registry – Keep all of your links in one spot.
Extra Celebrations – If you’re hosting a welcome party, after-party, or brunch, include those details too.
Personal Touches
Your wedding website doesn’t have to be all business—it’s also a chance to share your personalities and story. Guests will love feeling included. Consider adding:
Your Story – How you met, your engagement, or just a note of thanks.
Meet the Wedding Party – A fun introduction to the people standing by your side.
Weekend Timeline – A simple schedule so everyone knows what’s happening.
FAQs – Answer common questions like “Is the ceremony indoors?” or “What’s the best way to get from the hotel to the venue?”
Photo Sharing Info – Whether you’re using a hashtag or app, let your guests know where to upload their photos.
Pittsburgh Highlights
If many of your guests are traveling to Pittsburgh, your website is the perfect place to help them explore while they’re here. A few ideas to share:
Things to Do – Suggest local favorites like Market Square, Phipps Conservatory, the Duquesne Incline, or The Strip District.
Restaurant Recommendations – From casual Primanti Bros. sandwiches to fine dining at Le Mont, Pittsburgh has something for everyone.
Weather Tips – Our city is known for surprise rain showers, so a friendly packing reminder goes a long way.
A Final Note
Your wedding website is more than just an information hub—it’s an extension of your celebration. By sharing the right details (and a little bit of your personality), you’ll set your guests up for an unforgettable Pittsburgh wedding experience.
