We believe that, next to the maid-of-honor and a ready supply of chardonnay, your wedding website is your best wedding planning accessory. The <a href=\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/best-wedding-websites\/\">perfect wedding website<\/a>\u00a0looks beautiful, answers all of your guests\u2019 questions, and, just like the invitations or the flowers, becomes a keepsake you\u2019ll admire for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s what we at Joy do best, we\u2019ve drawn out the most important steps to <a href=\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\">creating the wedding website<\/a>\u00a0you\u2019ll love almost as much as your fianc\u00e9.<\/p>\n<h3>Tell your love story<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49959\" title=\"joy wedding website love story\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/joy-hero-story-752x1024.jpg\" alt=\"joy website love story\" width=\"400\" height=\"545\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Amidst all the check-writing and the phone calls, it\u2019s easy to forget why you\u2019re doing all this in the first place: to celebrate your love. Make your website a reminder. Take an evening and reminisce with your partner. Pick out your favorite photos of the two of you, choose the website design that fits you best, and write out the story you\u2019ll be telling for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Trust us, the effort will show. Your guests will be wowed, and you\u2019ll find yourself returning to your website every time the tailor calls with another three-week delay.<\/p>\n<h3>Lead with the schedule<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49960\" title=\"joy wedding website schedule\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/joy-hero-brannan-schedule-220x300.jpg\" alt=\"joy wedding website schedule\" width=\"366\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Probably most importantly to your guests, your wedding website should include the full schedule of events of your wedding day or weekend. With Joy you can easily fill in details about everything from the rehearsal dinner to the morning-after brunch. And since locations are linked to Google Maps, your guests can get directions right from your Joy website or app, so they won\u2019t have to call you the morning of the ceremony.<\/p>\n<h3>List travel information<\/h3>\n<p>Unless your guests are all local to the wedding venue, you\u2019ll likely need to arrange accommodations. Use the Travel section of your Joy website to list airport information, hotel blocks, and any other travel-related info and links your guests might need.<\/p>\n<h3>Honor your VIPs<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49961\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/joy-hero-wedding-party-220x300.jpg\" alt=\"joy website wedding party\" width=\"366\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Just as important to your celebration are the supporting characters, the ones who\u2019ve seen you and your fianc\u00e9 through to this moment. Honor each one of them by <a href=\"\/blog\/showcase-wedding-party-joy\/\">filling out the Wedding VIP section<\/a> of your Joy website with a photo and blurb about how great they each are and how they helped you get here.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer all the questions<\/h3>\n<p>Head-off any and all questions your guests might have \u2014 <i>What\u2019s the dress code? Is the ceremony outside? Can I bring the baby? <\/i>\u2014 right on your website. Joy has a dedicated FAQ section that\u2019s completely customizable. As the wedding day approaches, you and your wedding team can direct all your guests\u2019 questions to this single source of truth, and you can focus on calling the caterer.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: We can\u2019t guarantee your aunt won\u2019t still text you three days before the wedding and ask if she can wear a white dress. (True story.)<\/p>\n<h3>Link to your registry<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49962\" title=\"joy wedding website registry\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/joy-hero-registry-editor-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"joy wedding website registry\" width=\"751\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You and bae are about to build a new life together, and your guests want to know how to help.
