Short answer?

No.

You don’t need a wedding website.

You also don’t need:

• a seating chart

• a timeline

• a coordinated arrival

Your wedding will still happen.

People will still show up.

You’ll still get married.

So if that’s the bar—

you’re fine without one.

But That’s Not Actually the Question

The real question is:

do you want your wedding to feel easy?

Because that’s where a website stops being optional.

I’ve Seen Both Versions

I’ve worked with couples who had no centralized system.

Everything lived in:

• texts

• emails

• conversations

And the result was predictable:

• repeated questions

• inconsistent information

• guests guessing

The wedding still worked.

But it didn’t feel smooth.

Then I’ve seen weddings where everything lived in one place.

One link.

Guests:

• checked it

• understood it

• followed it

And the couple didn’t have to manage anything in real time.

That’s the difference.

A Wedding Website Isn’t About Being Fancy

It’s not:

• a design feature

• a trend

• something “extra”

It’s:

infrastructure

A place where:

• information is stable

• details are clear

• guests don’t rely on you

Without One, You Become the System

This is the part people underestimate.

If there’s no central place for information—

you become it.

You:

• answer every question

• resend every detail

• clarify every misunderstanding

Which is manageable—

until it’s not.

With One, You Step Out of the Way

Instead of:

• explaining things repeatedly

You say:

“It’s all here.”

And that’s it.

You remove yourself from the flow of information.

Which gives you space to actually experience the wedding.

Not All Wedding Websites Are Equal

This is important.

Some websites:

• exist

• but are confusing

• or require effort to navigate

Which defeats the purpose.

A wedding website only works if it is:

• clear

• simple

• immediate

If a guest can’t understand it in seconds—

it’s not doing its job.

What You’re Really Deciding

You’re not deciding whether to have a website.

You’re deciding:

how much friction you’re willing to manage

Because without one, friction shows up as:

• questions

• confusion

• repetition

With one, it disappears.

What I Recommend

If you want your wedding to feel:

• smooth

• intentional

• low-stress

Then yes—

you should have a wedding website.

Not a complicated one.

Just:

one clean place where everything lives

A Better Way to Do It

This is why I point couples toward solutions like His & His Forever.

Not because they need another platform—

But because they need:

a finished product

Something that:

• is already structured

• is already clear

• doesn’t require management

You don’t build it.

You don’t maintain it.

You just send the link.

Final Thought

No—you don’t need a wedding website.

But if you want your wedding to feel easy—

You probably do.
