5 copy-paste examples of wedding website copywriting | Wedding Warrior TC | wedding planner (2023)

Setting up your wedding website should be easy. And most of the time it is. Thanks to our lifelong partner.square spaceand their modern designer wedding website templates, you can create a beautiful wedding website in less time than it would take to watch Stranger Things Season 2 (NO SPOILERS). But what about when it's time to figure out what you mean by said site? Our rule of thumb with wedding websites is that they should inform their guests of all the relevant details they need to make smart wedding decisions. But beyond that? They're adults and you can't tell people how to live their lives.

But sometimes with marriages, there's a tricky middle ground. Like when you need to let someone know they don't get a plus. Or that you really, really, REALLY don't REALLY don't want any gifts. And that's where a website is your best friend. Because here's the thing: Nobody really wants to have these sensitive conversations with their wedding guests. But that doesn't mean you can't tell your guests all the information. (Seriously, don't wait until the last minute to let your friends know they can't bring their six-month-old son to your country wedding.) And your wedding website is the perfect neutral territory for your guests to learn the important information. without having to see their facial expressions when they do.

If you are just starting to build your wedding website,square spaceyou covered in making it seem. Also, in addition to their modern and elegant templates, they have all the extra features like a custom URL with your annual account, gallery pages to show off your beautiful faces, a very easy to integrate signup experience, and really great customer service. good. if you get stuck. And today we're topping it all off with words you can steal. (And more specifically, words for those hard-to-get messages.) So here are five wedding website scripts you can copy and paste into your website to get your messages across without offending your family.

Now you have no excuses not to post on that site you started two months ago.

1. WHEN YOU JUST WANT CASH GIFTS

I understand you. They've been together for half a decade and definitely don't need a second toaster oven. So you're trying to find a good way to tell your guests that you prefer cash. Well, my first piece of advice is this: your guests are going to give you gifts, whether you like it or not. (Sorry, I wish I could change that reality.) So if you choose to cancel a registration, do so in the knowledge that a handful of people will take it as a sign to get whatever it is. they want it, and your lovely cousin will definitely get you a giant oneshell bowl that can go in the oven. (I know, because a friend just bought this exact board.) So consider yourself warned. But there is a way to forge the word to have your cake and eat it too. That's how:

No: No gifts please, it's just an invitation for your relatives to challenge you and then get mad at you for it. Instead, give your guests a few alternative options: make a donation to a charity or cause you love, or create a small registry with experiences instead of physical items. Your guests will not be left in the dark and you will feel free to receive what they generously want to give you. Although I can't promise you won't get a giant bowl of shells. But at least that way you won't get... two of them.

DO: We are so happy that you can join us in our wedding. As many of you know, we live in a small apartment in New York City (with just one closet), and it's already filled with all the things we could ever need to make it a home. Although the presence of your company is the only gift we could ask for, an alternative register has been created here for those who expressed an interest in offering a gift to celebrate the occasion.

Pro tip: Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing.square spacemakes it easier forintegrate a registration pageon your wedding website, with the option to include acustom cash register, if you like. So, just set up a small registry (emphasis on small), link to it on the registration page, and when the physical items run out, most of your loved ones will take the hint and give you what you really want: money. . Or nothing. (Or a little of each).

2. when you don't invite the kids

We get this question a lot (and recently we talked more about ithere). And it's always a touchy subject. But if you opt for a childless marriage, there's a valid reason, and it's probably not a dislike of children. So the key is to inform your guests. You'll want to start with your invitations (be sure to list the names of the guests and include the number of people invited per household on the RSVP card). But then let your website do the talking. Here's how to avoid (most of) the drama:

No: Children are not allowed. For the reasons mentioned above.

What to do: Based on the guest limit at our location, we are unable to host children. However, if you are traveling with your children to our wedding, we have arranged with our hotel and a local licensed babysitting service to provide child care during the event. Please indicate on your RSVP card if you will require child care. Also, we welcome your children to our post-wedding brunch the next morning. Feel free to let us know how we can help further!

Pro tip: You don't have to babysit, but it will increase your chances of saying "yes" to your RSVPs if you have out-of-towners traveling with kids.

3. When you don't trust your guests to dress themselves.

When it comes to what you would like your guests to wear, you really don't have much control. People are going to wear what they're going to wear, and you don't want to get into the murky waters of undermining someone's gender expression, their religious beliefs, or anything else that might detract from your marriage experience. But you can make kind suggestions. When it comes to traditional or cultural clothing, make your guests feel like experts and offer resources on how to find the right clothes.

NO: Our wedding colors areblushing and shy, so we ask all guests to wear something in one of these shades. Also, as our wedding is outdoors, please do not wear high heels or fancy shoes. And we don't want anyone to dress too formal, so leave your facts at home.

DO: We are getting married on a working farm, so the ground will be soft and maybe a little muddy. No formal dress needed! Feel free to dress in whatever is most comfortable for you. For example, a dress shirt and khakis, or a stretchy skirt and sweater would look great. The night tends to be a little chilly, so you might want to bring something to wear when the sun goes down!

Pro tip: Not everything has to be a business. You can also have fun with your wedding website. Set up a question and answer page (withsquare spaceyou can add as many custom pages as you like), then have fun answering any logistical questions your loved ones might have. My friend Kristina recently got married, and underneath her outfit on her wedding website, she had two quotes: One from her mother saying, "You look good, you feel good!" and one from her brother who said: “Cheer up!”. This made everyone laugh and understood.

4. When is a cash bar

The worst thing you can say about a cash bar is nothing. Because some people (um, me? Who had a cash bar at their own wedding?) tend to forget that money exists at weddings and will give up important things like money and credit cards for a nice purse. hand that matches your dress. . So no, we're not mad that you have a cash bar (anyone crazy about a cash bar can be walked to the door). But we are very angry if you forget to tell us to bring CASH. Because weddings are for drinking, right? So stick to the facts and don't explain yourself too much.

No:We're sorry, but we're going to have a cash bar. We wish we had enough money to cover all your drinks, but we just don't, and we know our friends want to drink. Anyway please don't be mad but BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH FOREVER.

Do: We look forward to dancing the night away with you! Please note that we will be offering a full selection of cocktails, beer and wine until 10pm. m., at which point the bar will convert to a money bar.

O: We can't wait to dance the night away with you! Please note that we will be offering a cash bar with a full selection of cocktails, beer and wine throughout the evening.

Pro tip:square spaceoffers a custom domain with every annual purchase, so take advantage of it and make your wedding website URL easy to remember. That way, your procrastinating friends can check it out on their phones an hour before the wedding (Bonus: Squarespacewedding websitesare also mobile friendly) and get all the relevant information they need. This significantly decreases the chances that your college roommate will end up asking your uncle for money while receiving the money bar.

5. When it comes to a disconnected ceremony

We've all seen that guest with a camera on a monopod jutting out into the aisle during a wedding ceremony. This one is the worst. That's why we at APW are strong supporters of the unplugged ceremony, if that's what you want. But unplugged ceremonies are a new concept, which means your older guests (and most younger ones, too) won't even know what it is. If an offline ceremony is important to you, I recommend that your officiant offer a polite reminder at the start of the ceremony asking people to turn off their devices, as many of us are programmed to just pick up our phones and start recording. But it doesn't hurt to put an informational announcement on your wedding website, setting expectations in advance so Uncle Bob can leave his monopod at home.

No: Require everyone's phones when people enter the ceremony. Unless you're Beyoncé, do whatever you want.

YES: We will have a disconnected ceremony at our wedding. While we encourage everyone to bring their super8 phones, cameras and recorders to document the day (in addition to their amazing outfits and fabulous dance moves), we politely request that all devices be turned off during the ceremony. Once we receive the professional images from our photographer after the wedding, we will be more than happy to send them to you!
