Wedding Website FAQ: Questions and Answers for Guests
A guest is looking at your wedding website because they need an answer. Where should they park? Can they bring their child? What time should they really arrive? A clear FAQ handles those details before they turn into a string of texts during the week of your wedding.
Write for the guest who has not been part of the planning conversations. Give them the confirmed answer, any action they need to take, and the right person to contact if they still need help.
What To Include In A Wedding Website FAQ
Start with the questions that have already come up in conversation. Then think through the day from a guest's point of view, from booking a hotel to finding the correct entrance. If a detail does not help someone prepare or arrive, it probably does not belong here.
- Invitation details. Clarify plus-ones and whether children are invited.
- Attire. Name the dress code and explain anything guests should know about the setting or weather.
- Locations and timing. Include complete addresses, the start time, and a recommended arrival time.
- Travel. Explain parking, transportation, hotel arrangements, and booking deadlines.
- RSVP help. Tell guests where to respond, when it is due, and whom to contact about changes.
- Accessibility and dietary needs. Give guests a direct way to share information that requires follow-up.
Keep private details private. A public wedding website does not need personal travel schedules, room numbers, access codes, or private contact information. Use the website's privacy settings and share sensitive details directly when appropriate.
Clear Wording For Invitations And Attire
Plus-ones, children, and dress codes are easier for everyone when the wording leaves little room for interpretation. Choose the version that reflects your actual guest list and plans.
What Is The Dress Code?
Our wedding is [dress code]. The ceremony and reception will be [indoors / outdoors / both], so we recommend [helpful note about shoes, layers, or weather].
Can I Bring A Plus-One?
Your invitation and online RSVP will show the guests included in your party. If a guest is listed by name or your invitation says "and guest," we would be happy to welcome them. Because of venue limits, we cannot add guests who are not included on the invitation.
Are Children Invited?
[We are having an adults-only celebration / Children named on the invitation are welcome / Children are welcome.] Your invitation and RSVP will list everyone included in your party.
Where Are You Registered?
Your presence means so much to us. For anyone who would also like to give a gift, our registry is available [on the Registry page / at this link].
Travel Details Guests Will Look For
A venue name is rarely enough. Tell guests where to go, when to leave, and whether parking or transportation requires an extra step. Add a map link when a street address could send them to the wrong entrance.
Where Are The Ceremony And Reception?
The ceremony will be held at [venue and full address]. The reception will [take place at the same venue / follow at venue and full address]. Please use [specific entrance or map link] when you arrive.
What Time Should I Arrive?

[Complimentary / Paid / Valet] parking is available at [location]. Guests should [bring cash / validate a ticket / use a parking app / enter through a specific entrance]. Please allow about [number] extra minutes for parking.
Will Transportation Be Provided?

Is There A Hotel Room Block?
We reserved a room block at [hotel] for [dates]. Use [booking link or group code] by [cutoff date] to view the group rate. Rooms are subject to availability, so we recommend booking early.
Make The RSVP Process Easy To Follow
Keep these answers especially short. A guest should be able to find the RSVP page, understand the deadline, and correct a mistake without searching through the rest of the website.
How Do I RSVP?
Please RSVP by [date] using [the RSVP page / the QR code on your invitation / the enclosed response card]. Search for your invitation using [name-entry instructions]. Contact [designated person] if you cannot find your party.
How Should I Share A Dietary Restriction?
Please include allergies and dietary restrictions in the designated field when you RSVP. Add enough detail for us to share accurate information with the caterer. We will contact you if clarification is needed.
What If I Need To Change My RSVP?
Please contact [designated person] at [email or phone] as soon as possible. We will do our best to update your response, meal selection, or guest information before final counts are due.
What If I Miss The RSVP Deadline?
Please contact [designated person] right away. Our venue and catering deadlines may limit what can be changed after [RSVP date], but we will let you know what is still possible.

Before You Publish The FAQ
Send the page to someone who has not been involved in planning. They will notice the missing address, unexplained shuttle stop, or RSVP direction that seemed obvious only because you already knew the plan.
- Replace every bracketed placeholder.
- Confirm venue addresses, entrances, dates, and times.
- Test RSVP, hotel, registry, and map links on a phone.
- Match plus-one and children wording to the invitations.
- Name one person who can answer wedding-day questions.
- Update the page when a guest-facing detail changes.
Do not let the FAQ become a second planning file. Keep one confirmed version of each detail in your wedding plan, then update the guest-facing answer from that source.
