What to Put on Your Wedding Website FAQ
Your wedding website FAQ should answer 20-25 specific questions covering five areas: logistics (venue address, parking, transportation, hotel block), attire (dress code with examples, weather, footwear notes), RSVP (deadline, plus-ones, kids, dietary restrictions), schedule (ceremony time, dress code change between ceremony and reception, after-party plans), and registry plus gifts (link, cash funds, where to send). The goal is to stop the avalanche of last-minute text messages 72 hours before the wedding.
Write each answer in 2-3 sentences and put the most asked questions (dress code, venue address, RSVP) at the top, not the bottom. A FAQ page that buries the dress code at question 19 will still generate 40 identical texts from guests who gave up scrolling. Order by guest urgency, group by topic, and link to external resources (hotel booking page, Google Maps pin) so the FAQ stays brief and actionable.

Top 5 Questions Guests Ask Most
Based on patterns reported by wedding planners at The Knot and A Practical Wedding, these five questions account for the majority of pre-wedding texts and calls. They belong at the very top of your FAQ, not the middle.
Copy-Paste Answer Templates
Ten complete Q&A pairs you can drop directly into your wedding website. Edit the bracketed details and you are done. These are written in a warm, direct tone that planners at Joy (withjoy.com) and Zola recommend for guest-friendly FAQs.
The dress code is cocktail attire. For women, a knee-length or midi dress, a dressy jumpsuit, or a skirt and blouse all work perfectly. For men, a suit and tie or dress slacks with a blazer. Please avoid white, cream, or ivory out of respect for the bride. The venue is air-conditioned indoors.
Yes, the venue has a free lot with approximately 150 spaces, located on the east side of the building. Overflow parking is available at Riverside Park one block north. If the main lot is full, attendants will direct you. Valet is not available.
We have decided to keep our celebration adults-only (18+) so that everyone, including parents, can relax and enjoy the night. We completely understand this requires advance planning and we are so grateful for your flexibility. If you need local babysitter recommendations, reach out and we are happy to help.
Your invitation will indicate whether a guest is included. Due to our venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate additional plus ones beyond what is noted on your invitation. We appreciate your understanding, and we cannot wait to celebrate with you.
Please note any dietary restrictions or allergies when you RSVP using the form below. Our caterer is able to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals with advance notice. For severe allergies, please email us directly at [your email] so we can confirm options with the kitchen.
Please RSVP by June 15, 2026. After that date, we will have submitted final headcounts to our caterer and venue. If you miss the deadline, send us a quick note and we will do our best to accommodate you.
We have arranged a complimentary shuttle from the Marriott Downtown to the venue. Shuttles depart at 4:30 PM and 5:00 PM and return trips run at 10:00 PM, 11:00 PM, and midnight. The hotel is a 12-minute Uber ride if you miss the shuttle.
Yes! We have a room block at the Marriott Downtown at a discounted rate of $179/night. Book using this link [link] by May 31, 2026, to access the rate. The block may sell out before the deadline, so we recommend booking early.
The ceremony begins promptly at 5:00 PM. Doors open at 4:30 PM and we encourage guests to be seated by 4:50 PM. The ceremony will begin on time out of respect for all guests, so plan to arrive with a few minutes to spare.
Our registry is on Zola at [link]. We also have a cash fund for our honeymoon trip, available through the same page. Truly, your presence is the greatest gift -- but if you would like to send something, we are grateful.
Order Matters: How to Structure Your FAQ Page
The sequence of your FAQ is as important as the content. Guests skim. Put the answers they need at 11pm two days before the wedding at the very top.
Every Dress Code Term Decoded for Your Guests
"Cocktail attire" means different things to different guests. Include one of these definitions in your FAQ answer so no one shows up in a sundress to a black-tie event or overdresses for a garden party.
Floor-length gown or dressy pantsuit for women; tuxedo or formal dark suit for men.
Tuxedo preferred but dark suit acceptable for men; floor-length or cocktail dress for women.
Knee-length or midi dress or jumpsuit for women; suit and tie for men. Most common wedding dress code.
Slightly less formal than cocktail. A nice dress or blouse-and-skirt for women; slacks and blazer, tie optional for men.
Floral prints, pastels, and breathable fabrics welcome. Flats or block heels recommended for lawn terrain.
Linen, chiffon, or flowy fabrics. Sand-friendly footwear (wedges, block heels, sandals). No stilettos.
Seasonal colors, metallics, and prints encouraged. A step up from everyday but not full formal. Have fun with it.
Sundress or nice blouse for women; chinos and a button-down for men. No jeans or athletic wear.
The Unplugged Ceremony Request
If you are planning an unplugged ceremony, include a short FAQ entry. Place it under Schedule or Ceremony, not buried in miscellaneous. The goal is to set the expectation before guests are sitting in the aisle seat with an iPhone in hand.
Suggested FAQ wording:
"We are having an unplugged ceremony and ask that all guests put their phones away during the ceremony so our photographer can capture those moments unobstructed. You are absolutely welcome to photograph and share at the reception -- there will even be a QR code at each table to share your photos with us directly. Thank you so much."
Ask your officiant to mirror this request verbally at the start of the ceremony -- "The couple has asked that we all put our phones away for the next 20 minutes..." -- so late arrivals hear it even if they did not check the website.
Multilingual and Accessibility Considerations
A wedding FAQ that only works for English-reading, able-bodied guests on a fast phone is leaving people behind. These additions take an hour and make the FAQ work for everyone.
What NOT to Put on Your Wedding Website FAQ
The FAQ is a logistics document, not a space for family commentary. These entries have all appeared on real wedding websites and all made guests feel worse, not better.
Three Wedding FAQ Pages, Three Different Approaches
No two weddings need the same FAQ. Here is how three couples prioritized their content differently based on their venue, guest list, and logistics.
The couple's FAQ led with travel logistics: flight windows, preferred airlines, passport reminders for the destination country, and hotel block with two tiers (beachfront and garden view). Dress code was second: "beach formal, no stilettos -- the ceremony is on sand." RSVP section included a note about meal selection timing due to the catering package. Registry was a single cash fund entry with a link. The FAQ was 14 questions total. That was enough because the venue handled most on-site logistics.
The couple led with parking because their neighborhood has street-only parking and a two-hour limit on nearby blocks. They included a hand-drawn parking map image. Second was a note about the outdoor ceremony (bring a light jacket in October). The FAQ was short (10 questions) because most guests were close friends and family who knew the address. But they added a specific question: "Where do I park if all the nearby spots are taken?" with a link to the community lot three blocks away. That one answer prevented 12 texts.
A full 25-question FAQ organized into all five categories. The logistics section included three different parking options (valet, self-park garage, street), a shuttle schedule from two hotels, and an accessible entrance note. Dress code listed examples by gender and body type. The RSVP section had a dedicated question for dietary restrictions because the caterer needed counts three weeks out. A "what time does the reception end?" entry was added after the couple realized guests with babysitters were calling to ask. The photo-sharing QR code was FAQ question 22.
Add Photo Sharing to Your FAQ
One of the most appreciated FAQ entries -- and one of the least commonly included -- is "How can I share my photos from the wedding with you?" Add it as question 20 or 21 in your Schedule or Miscellaneous section.
Suggested answer:
"We would love to see your photos! Each table at the reception will have a QR code. Scan it to upload your photos directly to our shared album. You can also scan it right now to bookmark the link for the day."
Pix Wedding lets couples create a shared photo album with a QR code that guests can scan at the reception. Including the link in the FAQ pre-primes guests before the wedding day so they know exactly what to do when they see the code on the table.
Set Up Guest Photo Sharing FreeWedding Website Builders: What Each Does Well for FAQs
Your FAQ is only as good as the platform that hosts it. Here is how the five main builders approach FAQ layout and functionality.
Largest guest-facing brand recognition. RSVP form and FAQ are both built-in. Best for couples who want guests to immediately trust the platform.
Cleanest FAQ layout. Registry and wedding website are unified. Great if you want guests to move from FAQ to registry in one session.
Best mobile experience and inline RSVP in the FAQ section. Photo sharing is native. Top pick for photo-forward couples.
Full design control. Best for couples who want a custom look. FAQ requires a manual accordion block but is fully customizable.
Luxury-tier design, custom domains, and a refined FAQ layout. Higher price point but the most editorial-quality output.

Why Your Wedding Website FAQ Is the Most Important Page You Will Build
Wedding planners at A Practical Wedding and Joy (withjoy.com) consistently report the same finding: couples who publish a detailed FAQ before their save-the-dates go out receive 60-80% fewer "quick question" texts and calls in the final week. The FAQ is not a formality. It is your first line of guest communication.
Most guests do not want to bother you. They want a fast, reliable answer at 10pm when they are picking out shoes. A clear FAQ with grouped questions and plain-language answers serves that need completely. The investment is 90 minutes to write it and zero minutes to maintain.
The Knot's 2025 wedding survey found that dress code and venue address are the two questions couples receive most in the 72 hours before the wedding. Both are answerable in two sentences. Putting them first in your FAQ, not buried at question 18, changes the guest experience meaningfully.
How the FAQ Connects to the Rest of Your Wedding Website
The FAQ works best when it links out rather than tries to contain everything. Link the hotel block question to your actual hotel booking page. Link the venue question to a Google Maps pin, not just a street address. Link the photo-sharing question to your QR code or sharing link.
Platforms like Zola and Joy let you embed the RSVP form directly, so your FAQ answer for "how do I RSVP?" can include the form inline. The Knot and Squarespace require a separate RSVP page link. Riley and Grey (rileyandgrey.com) handles custom domains well if you want a branded URL guests can remember.
Think of the FAQ as the connective tissue of your wedding website. The "our story" page sells the romance. The FAQ sells the logistics. Both matter, but only one prevents 40 identical texts from your aunts the morning of the wedding.
- •Link hotel block question directly to the room block booking URL
- •Embed a Google Maps pin for venue directions
- •Add your photo sharing QR code or link as FAQ item 20-22
- •Connect dietary restrictions answer to the RSVP form field
- •Link registry FAQ entry directly to your registry page
Publishing and Updating Your FAQ Before and After the Invitations Go Out
Publish a draft FAQ when you launch your wedding website with your save-the-dates, even if it only has 10 questions. Fill in the rest as you finalize your venue, caterer, and hotel block. By the time formal invitations go out, the FAQ should be complete.
Plan one review session 30 days before the wedding. Read through every answer and update any details that have changed (shuttle timing, after-party location, final dress code). If you added an after-party, it belongs in the FAQ. If the hotel block sold out, update that answer so guests do not call a full hotel.

Wedding Website FAQ: Your Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about our free tools and how they help your wedding day.
Aim for 20-25 questions. Fewer than 15 leaves common questions unanswered and you will still get texts. More than 30 overwhelms guests who skim. Group them into 5 categories (logistics, attire, RSVP, schedule, registry) and guests will find answers in under a minute.
Put the highest-frequency questions first: dress code, venue address, ceremony start time. These are what guests Google at 11pm two days before the wedding. Group by topic after the top 5, and save registry links for near the bottom since those are searched earlier in the planning cycle, not the week before.
Yes, add a short registry entry in your FAQ. Many guests look there after checking logistics. Keep the answer brief: where it is, how to access it, and a note that your presence is the real gift. Avoid writing multiple paragraphs about the registry in the FAQ -- it reads as pressure.
State it warmly and once. A line like "Our ceremony and reception are adults only (18+). We hope this gives parents a night to celebrate too -- we know planning childcare is a big ask and we appreciate it so much" covers the policy, acknowledges the inconvenience, and avoids sounding like a legal disclaimer.
Include a question like "What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?" and answer it with your caterer's actual process: whether the RSVP form collects it, whether you have vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free options, and a contact email for severe allergies. Guests with serious allergies will feel reassured by a specific answer.
One page is almost always better. Guests arrive on mobile, scan fast, and bounce if they have to click through tabs to find the dress code. Use anchor links or collapsible sections to keep it manageable. The Knot, Zola, and Joy all default to a single-page FAQ layout for exactly this reason.
