Wedding Words, Defined
Wedding planning comes with a vocabulary of its own, and nobody hands you the dictionary. So we wrote one.

Wedding
Website

The one page that holds your date, venue, schedule, travel details, RSVPs, and registry, so guests stop asking.
What Is a Wedding Website Template?
The pre-built layout you drop your details into, the four style families to pick between, and what to check before you commit.
What Is a Custom Wedding Domain?
Your own web address instead of a platform one: what it costs, how to connect it, and when it is worth the upgrade.
What Is a Wedding QR Code?
The little square that saves guests typing a URL, where to put it on your stationery, and how big to print it.
Guests & RSVP
