A wedding invitation website isn't a luxury — it's a practical tool. It saves dozens of hours of phone calls, spares guests the confusion over the address, and gives you an exact list of confirmations. Here's what to include and how to create one in 10 minutes.
What a wedding website should have — a 9-point checklist#
- The couple's names — big, at the top of the page.
- Date, time, place — list the ceremony venue and the reception hall separately.
- An interactive map — with a "Get directions" button for Google or Apple Maps.
- The day's program / timeline — guest arrival, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, cake. Guests know when to arrive and what comes next.
- Dress code — with a color palette and an example. "Shades of ivory and gold" works better than "light tones."
- Wishlist — a list of wishes with a "Reserve" button. Protects against duplicate gifts.
- RSVP form — with questions about meals, allergies, and transport.
- Parking and hotel information — for guests from other cities.
- Organizer contacts — a phone or Telegram for urgent questions.
Step-by-step creation in PartyGen#
- Choose a template — go to partygen.ru/en/web and click "Wedding site." Pick a style: classic, boho, minimalist, romantic.
- Fill in the basics — names, date, place. This step takes 3–4 minutes.
- Configure the blocks — turn the day's program, wishlist, dress code, and RSVP on or off. Each block is configured separately.
- Enter an email or Telegram — to receive RSVP replies.
- Pay and get the link — an affordable one-time price; the link is active right after payment.
The average time to create a wedding site in PartyGen is 8 minutes 20 seconds from choosing a template to getting the link.
From experience: what couples most often forget#
- The cocktail-hour start time, not just the ceremony — guests arrive for cocktails, not the registration. Specify both times.
- Parking — especially important for out-of-town venues. Note where to park and whether there are restrictions.
- A hotel nearby — for guests from other cities. Add a link or a name.
- Dress code details — "please don't wear white" is better stated directly, not hinted at.
- An RSVP deadline — without it, guests put off replying. Set a specific date and send a reminder.

Wedding website FAQ#
Do I need programming or design skills?
No. Everything is configured through an editor with ready-made blocks — like building blocks.
Can I add music to the wedding site?
Yes, the editor has an audio block. Most couples add "their" song — the one that will play during the first dance.
How do I send the link to international guests?
The site supports Russian and English. The language switcher is in the site header.
What happens to the site a year after the wedding?
The site works for 30 days after the event date, then it's archived. Renewal is available through support.
