Wedding website examples and what to include

The designs below are WeddingBeacon templates filled with sample names and sample details. They show the layout. They are not weddings of real clients.

Designs you can open

The catalog has more than 30 designs. These five are a useful spread: a classic paper page, a garden invitation, a crest, a modern card, and an evening page. Open any of them to see sample names on a full preview.

Heritage Classic is cream and champagne, with a structured page for the story and the schedule. Garden Blush is ivory paper with blush florals. Royal Crest uses a gold crest and script names on ivory. Champagne Court is a floating card, spare and modern. Midnight Gala is a candlelit evening page in navy and champagne.

Changing design does not throw away the wedding. The story, the schedule, and the guest list stay. You pick another template from the catalog.

What to include

Start with the date, the schedule, and a reply. Add the rest when guests start asking the same question twice.

A save-the-date and the invitation can share one link. The first message holds the date. The later message fills in the events that person is invited to.

  • A short story, in your own words.
  • The schedule, with a reply on each event. A guest only sees their events, and a site can hold up to six.
  • Dress code, travel notes, a few questions and answers, and photos.
  • The wedding party, if you want those names public.
  • A table list. It is on every plan, including the starting plan. Drawing a floor plan is on Standard and Season.
  • After a yes, a QR pass for the door. Someone with the check-in role can mark a guest in, and undo it.
  • A guestbook for notes and photos.
  • Card gifts, if you want them: the guest picks an amount and can leave a note. You can also offer a cash fund, such as a honeymoon fund, a wishlist, or a link to a gift list you already keep. Set up the payout bank before anyone pays.

What can wait

You do not need every block on day one. A long essay, a song list, and a wishlist can wait until the date and the reply are clear.

Public tools for a budget sketch, a checklist, a guest-list sketch, and hashtags stay in the browser. They are not the wedding's saved plan.

Use a design with your own details

The sample names on a preview are there so the type and the photos have something to hold. Replace them with your own. Nothing on those previews is a couple who hired WeddingBeacon.

Free to start. Pick a design, add the schedule, and send each guest their own link.

For sentences you can paste onto the home page, use the welcome message examples.

FAQ

Are these real client weddings?

No. Each preview is a WeddingBeacon design filled with sample names and sample details.

What belongs on the site first?

The date, the schedule, the events this guest is invited to, and a way to reply. Add the dress code, travel notes, photos, and a short story as you have them.

Can I switch designs later?

Yes. Choose another design from the template catalog. The story, the schedule, and the guest list stay with the wedding.

Do I need a floor plan before I can seat guests?

A table list is on the starting plan. Drawing the floor plan is on Standard and Season.
