Best Wedding Website FAQs

What are the FAQs you need for a wedding? Basically, these are a list of queries that cover information on the food, attire, venue considerations, transportation and accommodations surrounding your wedding.

Add as many inquiries as you'd like, but don't skip these 10 essential wedding FAQ suggestions:

Wedding Website FAQs About RSVPs

One of the biggest wedding guest etiquette rules is pretty simple: RSVP on time. To help your guests do just that, use these questions for your wedding website.

Can I RSVP online or do I have to mail in an RSVP card?

Keeping your RSVPs in order is an important part of the process. Let your guests know if they need to make a trip to the mailbox or if an online response will suffice.

Sample Answer: We invite you to RSVP online here [insert link] or by mailing in the RSVP card sent with your invitation.

What date should I RSVP by?

Make a question about the RSVP deadline the first FAQ for your wedding website to save yourself from chasing down replies. Insert the link to your online RSVP to help expedite the process. You could also use bold type to really emphasize it.

Sample Answer: Please RSVP by [insert date].

FAQs About Directions, Transportation and Accommodations

Whether you're hosting a destination or hometown wedding, your guests will likely have questions about travel and directions to the venue. Make sure these queries are answered clearly and prominently as frequently asked questions on your wedding website—if there's any confusion about how to get to your wedding, guests may arrive late.

What are the addresses of the wedding ceremony and reception venues? Are they wheelchair accessible?

Providing the complete addresses for your venue(s) including zip codes along with a Google Maps link in your wedding website Q&A will make it easy for guests to plug the coordinates into a maps app for directions to your venue(s). You'll also want to let guests know how accessible the venue(s) are.

Pro tip: Notify guests of any directional wedding signage at the venue site to help them find their way.

Sample Answer: Our venue's address is [insert address]. You can use this link to view the location in Google Maps. Once you arrive, you'll see signage directing you to the back patio where the ceremony will take place. There's a small staircase you must descend to access the ceremony space, but our venue also has an elevator on the left side of the lobby that can get you to the right level.

What's the easiest way to get to and from your wedding venue(s)?

If there's a shuttle, public transportation, drop-off area, taxi stand or the venue(s) are within walking distance, give your guests all the details so they can plan ahead. Use the response to this example FAQ on a wedding page as a template and tailor your response accordingly.

Sample Answer: We will be providing shuttle service between the [hotel name] and venue. Ahead of the ceremony, there will be a shuttle at [insert departure times]. After the reception, the shuttle will be transporting guests back to the hotel at [insert departure times].

Is there parking available near your wedding venue(s)?

Fill your guests in on all the parking info and options available, including whether they can leave their car overnight if they'd like to take a taxi home after a few drinks.

Sample Answer: For guests within driving distance of the venue, there is free on-site parking.

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Help your guests further prepare for the weather conditions. Let them know whether your wedding reception, cocktail hour and reception will be indoors or outdoors. You could also provide some details about your backup plan in case of rain.

Sample Answer: Our afternoon ceremony will be outdoors in the garden, while cocktail hour and the reception will take place indoors. Guests will walk to the garden on paved pathways, but will need to step on grass briefly to take their seats. For that reason, stiletto or otherwise-thin heels are not recommended.

Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?

Out-of-town guests will need to arrange accommodations, so give them options. We've got everything you need to know about reserving hotel room blocks.

Sample Answer: We have reserved a room block at [hotel name]. Please book your stay by [insert cut off date] to guarantee a room in our block. Use the code [insert code] or mention the [your last name and your partner's last name] wedding while booking to receive our reduced rate.

Will there be a shuttle to and/or from the hotel(s) for the wedding and/or prewedding events?

If you have a lot of out-of-town guests, consider providing a shuttle service to get them to and from the venue(s). If not, that's okay, simply suggest their best transportation options.

Sample Answer: We will not be providing guest transportation throughout the wedding weekend. Our ceremony and reception will take place in the hotel where we reserved our room block and where most guests will be staying, so no additional transport will be required for our nuptials. Our wedding welcome party location is a five-minute walk from the hotel and also easily accessible via ride-share service.

What should I do if I don't make it into the room block?

It's always good to provide guests with a backup plan and to be as thorough as possible in your FAQ for your wedding website. Give guests some additional accommodation information and a go-forward plan if they miss the cutoff.

Sample Answer: If you miss the deadline to reserve a room in our block, reach out to the hotel and mention our wedding anyway—they may be able to accommodate you with our discount in a room outside of our block. If not, you can find additional nearby accommodations on our travel page.

What's the best airport to use?

A few of your guests will likely be coming to your wedding by plane. Especially if there are multiple airports that serve your wedding area, it's wise to direct attendees to the most convenient option.

Sample Answer: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is the closest airport. The hotel will be easily accessible from JFK via taxi, public transit or ride share.

Wedding Dress Code FAQs

Avoid the series of frantic "what should I wear" texts by clearly explaining the dress code and providing any attire advice on your wedding website. Follow these wedding FAQ examples about attire for guidance.

What's the dress code for your wedding?

Your wedding guests will want to look and feel their best. Clearly state the dress code using common terminology to ensure everyone's aligned. Bonus: Check out these dress code wording tips.

Sample Answer: Our dress code is black-tie optional. We ask that you wear a tuxedo or dark suit and tie. Alternatively, an evening gown or a midi- or knee-length cocktail dress would be appropriate.

Are there any colors or styles you'd prefer me to wear?

If your wedding theme lends itself to a particular clothing style or color, give your guests as much direction as possible so they can feel part of it (and comfortable). For instance, wedding website FAQ examples for beach wedding attire might include a mention if it's permissible to wear sandals.

Sample Answer: Kindly choose wedding attire in any shade of blue, as we'd like for our guests to be the lucky "something blue" on our day.

What is the weather and climate like in the area?

Similarly, share any local weather knowledge in your Q&A for a wedding website. This is especially important for a destination wedding or for out-of-town guests less familiar with your region.

Sample Answer: New England summers are warm during the day and cool at night, so we recommend a light wrap to cover bare shoulders and sunglasses for the outdoor ceremony. We will provide sunscreen and bug spray to keep guests comfortable.

Wedding Website FAQs About Plus-Ones and Children

We know, it can be awkward to explain to guests that they can't bring their kids, a date or a random guy they met on Tinder a week ago. By clearly stating your wishes in your wedding website questions and answers, you can avoid any confusion.

Am I allowed to bring a plus-one?

This is one of the most delicate Q&As for a wedding website—all the more reason to include it. Whether you're thinking "absolutely not" or "the more the merrier," make your wishes clear and be consistent from the outset to avoid misunderstandings. Read our guest list etiquette guide for "plus-ones" for more guidance.

Sample Answer: We are not allowing additional plus-ones to our wedding, as we'd like to keep the guests list just to those who know us well. The name of every guest invited to attend is clearly listed on your invitation and no additional guests can be accommodated.

Am I allowed to bring my children?

This common FAQ for a wedding website also needs to be clearly answered from the outset, especially because it's not proper etiquette to print phrases like "adults only" on a wedding invitation (i.e. the invitees are typically specified through the address).

If children are welcome, provide as much detail as possible in the questions and answers for your wedding website on this topic so parents can plan accordingly (e.g. food options, children's activities, babysitting services, etc.).

If it's an adults-only wedding, make no exceptions (other than wedding ceremony attendants or your own children)—get more etiquette tips here to avoid hurt feelings.

Sample Answer: We love your children, but due to space restrictions, we cannot accommodate guests under age 18 [or 21, or another age] on our wedding day.

For guests with dietary restrictions, attending a wedding can be fraught with anxiety. Answering these simple wedding website questions can help assuage some of their concerns.

What type of food will be served at your wedding?

Sure, you want there to be some surprises at your wedding, but providing guests with a few menu details will help them plan accordingly. Again, you don't want hangry wedding guests.

Sample Answer: We plan on having an entree choice that's vegan, gluten and nut free to accommodate guests with dietary restrictions. Our cocktail hour appetizers will also all be clearly marked if they are allergy friendly (and there will be multiple allergy-friendly options). If you have additional restrictions that go beyond what we've listed here, please let us know in the designated section of your digital RSVP. We want you to feel comfortable and well fed!

Will there be an open bar?

Being direct about what type of bar you plan to have will let guests know whether to bring cash or a credit card and help manage their expectations for the event.

Sample Answer: There will be an open bar for guests to enjoy throughout cocktail hour and the reception, however, we do recommend bringing cash or a credit card along if you plan to attend the after-party, as drinks after the reception will not be covered.

FAQs About Wedding Registry and Gifts

Your guests want to get you gifts that you'll actually use and enjoy, but you don't want to come across as gift grabby. By following these wedding website FAQ examples and sharing your registry on your wedding website, you'll find the right balance.

Could you give me a link to your wedding registry?

Wedding gifts are customary, so give your guests some guidance with a link to your wedding registry or gift wishes. We've got lots of wedding registry wording examples so you can compose just the right message for your situation.

Sample Answer: You can find our complete wedding registry here on our website (and purchase directly from our wish list) under the "Registry" tab.

Where should we bring/send our wedding gift?

Typically, guests aren't encouraged to bring wrapped gifts to the wedding, as it's not convenient for the couple to pack them up at the end of the reception, whereas, a wedding card box is more practical.

Sample Answer: Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift, you can have it delivered to our home at [insert address]. A wedding card box will be at our reception.

Wedding Weekend Itinerary FAQs

Creating a wedding weekend itinerary is an important step in the planning process. Share your itinerary with your guests so they'll know where to be and when (and won't show up late to your ceremony), and you'll avoid answering a million questions while you're trying to enjoy your wedding weekend.

What's the wedding itinerary?

There's no need to outline every detail of your wedding day timeline, but providing your guests with broad strokes like the start and end times of each part of your day will help them prepare for your celebration. People like to know things like when to arrive, if there will be time to kill between the ceremony and reception and when the event ends.

Sample Answer: Our wedding will take place at [location] on [date]. The ceremony will begin at [time] sharp, followed by cocktail hour and the reception, which is anticipated to wrap around [end time].

What time should I arrive at your wedding ceremony?

Ensuring your guests are in their seats on time will get your festivities off to the right start. You know your ceremony venue best, so if it requires a 15-minute walk into a forest or 20 minutes to park in a city lot and walk over to a place of worship, give your guests a heads up. It's reasonable to ask guests to arrive 60 minutes beforehand in order to be in their seats 30 to 45 minutes before the ceremony starts. While they're waiting, they can admire the ceremony decor, listen to prelude music, read your ceremony program and acknowledge other guests.

Sample Answer: The doors to the venue will open one hour ahead of our ceremony time at [ceremony time]. We recommend arriving at the ceremony venue at least 30 minutes ahead of the ceremony start time to ensure you have enough time to walk to the ceremony space (located about a 10-minute walk from the parking lot) and find a seat.

What time will your wedding reception end? Is there an after-party?

Your guests will need to know when the party ends so they can plan their ride home or make babysitting arrangements. Keep in mind that some guests will need to make an early exit, so don't plan important speeches or moments (like the cake cutting) for the end of the event. If you're planning an after-party, will there be late-night snacks served or a food truck nearby? Some guests will need to fuel up by that point.

Sample Answer: Our reception will end around [end time], after which there will be an after-party at the [after-party venue]. We'll be providing ride-share codes to transport any guests interested in continuing the party postreception—there will be a cash bar and complementary late-night bites.

Will there be a time gap between your wedding ceremony and reception?

Give your guests a heads up about what will be happening between the ceremony and reception. Will there be refreshments served or lawn games to play while you get photos taken? Or will there be a gap of several hours between when they will need to entertain themselves?

Sample Answer: A 90-minute cocktail hour will take place on the front lawn between the ceremony and reception where you can enjoy cocktails, mocktails, small bites and lawn games.

Could you suggest places to eat, drink and see while I'm in town for your wedding?

Share some local knowledge with your guests so that they can enjoy their stay or direct them to a local tourism website or the hotel concierge to help them out.

Sample Answer: Check out the "Things to Do" section of our travel page to see some of our favorite spots to eat, drink and explore in our city.

Will there be other events to attend on the wedding weekend?

Answering this FAQ on your wedding website can be tricky if not everyone is invited to the adjacent wedding events. Usually, it's perfectly acceptable to give out-of-town guests special treatment and so you can use this "definition" to answer this question.

Sample Answer: All of our guests are invited to join us for a welcome cocktail party on the evening before our wedding [insert details or link to event page]. We invite our out-of-town guests to also join us for brunch on the day after our wedding [insert details or link to brunch event page].

Other Common Wedding Website FAQs

If you've ever attended a wedding, you'll know that there are lots of little questions that pop up in the weeks before the event. A guest may not want to bug you with these seemingly minor questions, but you know they're talking about them in their group texts. These details can affect the overall experience at your wedding, so it's best to answer them. Nowadays, some of them are even common Q&A inclusions for a wedding website.

Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?

These days, some couples opt for an unplugged wedding ceremony so that guests aren't distracted by their devices and the professional wedding photographer can get the best possible shots without the interference of other flashes or mobile screens. On the other hand, some couples love the idea of having a variety of photos from different vantage points to document their event. Either way, give your guests some guidance.

Sample Answer: We kindly ask that you keep our wedding "unplugged" and refrain from taking any photos or videos at our wedding. We want our guests to truly be in the moment with us during this special day.

Can I post wedding photos on social media?

Another consideration is how widely spread you'd like the photos to be shared on social media. Again, there's no right way to do it, just let your guests know your preferences.

Sample Answer: Please respect our privacy and don't share photos of our wedding on social media, as we'd like to make a formal wedding announcement with our professional images.

Do you have a wedding hashtag?

If you are encouraging social media posts about your wedding, creating a wedding hashtag will let you easily browse all the posts. Put your wedding hashtag on your FAQ page, home page and wedding signage to encourage people to use it in their posts.

Sample Answer: Yes! Our wedding hashtag is [insert hashtag]. It'll also be posted around the venue for your convenience.

Will you be live streaming your wedding?

Including a virtual component to a wedding became commonplace during the pandemic and travel can still be troublesome for some people. Whether you're planning to offer a live stream or not, include this FAQ to let guests know their options if they can't attend physically.

Sample Answer: We will be livestreaming our ceremony for a handful of overseas guests who are unable to celebrate with us in person.

Are there any cultural traditions or best practices guests should be aware of?

If you're having a cultural ceremony where some guests might be unfamiliar with the proceedings, it's wise to include a mention of anything important they should know of before arriving at your wedding. Use your wedding program to outline the cultural significance of certain aspects of your ceremony, but your FAQ page as a place to put more practical information.

Sample Answer: We will be having a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony and the bride will be wearing a red cheongsam (traditional wedding outfit), as it symbolizes good luck and prosperity. Please refrain from wearing red as well as wearing white to honor the bride.

Where will wedding updates be posted?

Let guests know how you'll be keeping them informed of any changes to your plans. Will updates be posted to your home page or by email?

Sample Answer: Additional updates or changes that need your attention will appear on our wedding website homepage.

Is there anything I should bring as a guest?

Whether it's something to ward off the weather or just make themselves more comfortable, anything you'll provide for guests or that you suggest they bring along should be acknowledged in your FAQ section.

Sample Answer: We'll be providing sunscreen, hand fans and ice water to combat the heat during our outdoor ceremony, but we do suggest that guests bring a pair of sunglasses so they can comfortably view the proceedings.

I have more questions about your wedding, who can I contact?

If possible, delegate a wedding planner, wedding party attendant or family member to field questions for you, especially during the weeks and days leading up to your event, and post their contact info here.

Sample Answer: Kindly contact our [honor attendant role and name] at [contact info] or our [second honor attendant role and name] at [contact info] with any further questions ahead of the wedding.

What Else Can You Call the FAQ Section on Your Wedding Website

In most wedding website examples, you'll likely see the section answering anticipated guest questions called a FAQ page. But if you're wondering: "What else can I call the FAQ on my wedding website?" we've got you covered. Another header name you can use for the FAQ on your wedding website is simply "Q&A." If you'd prefer to go with something that's not an abbreviation, you can name the page something like "Details," "Info," "Must-Knows" or "Specifics." Regardless, keep the title short and clear.
