Wedding Invitation vs. Wedding Website: What Goes Where?

With modern wedding planning, you don't need to cram driving directions, hotel discount codes, registry links, and children policies onto a small piece of paper.

Here is the simple rule of thumb for what belongs on the printed card versus your website.


What Belongs on the Printed Invitation:

  • Names of the hosts and the couple.
  • Date and time of the ceremony.
  • Ceremony venue name, city, and state/country.
  • Basic reception notice (e.g., "Reception immediately following").
  • The website link or QR code: "For accommodation, directions, and online RSVP, please visit our website: myjoyfullday.com/our-names".

What Belongs on Your Wedding Website:

  • 🏨 Detailed hotel room blocks and discount codes.
  • 🚗 Step-by-step driving directions, parking maps, and airport transit info.
  • 🎁 Registry and Honeymoon cash funds (it is traditional etiquette NOT to print registry info directly on the formal invitation card).
  • ❓ FAQ answers (kids policies, plus-ones, dress code details, weather backup plans).
  • 🕒 Full multi-day itinerary (rehearsal dinner, morning-after brunch).
