There’s one rule that quietly determines whether a wedding feels smooth or chaotic:
Everything should live in one place.
Not three links.
Not five texts.
Not a mix of emails, PDFs, and “check the group chat.”
One link.
That’s it.
What Happens Without It
What Happens Without It
I’ve been to enough weddings now to see the same pattern repeat.
You get:
an invite
a follow-up email
a text with “updated details”
maybe a link to a site
maybe a second link for RSVPs
And now you’re juggling information.
So what do people do?
They don’t organize it.
They guess.
At a wedding in Charleston, we left the ceremony with no clear instruction on what to do next.
No announcement.
No centralized info.
So we drove to the reception venue early—
and stood outside in the cold for 30 minutes with a group of equally confused guests.
That wasn’t a planning issue.
It was a distribution issue.
Guests Don’t Track Information
Guests Don’t Track Information
This is the part people underestimate.
Your guests are not building a system around your wedding.
They are:
skimming
forgetting
re-checking
asking other people
Even at weddings where everything technically exists—
if it’s not centralized, it doesn’t function.
The Google Sheet Wedding
The Google Sheet Wedding
At a gay wedding in Puerto Vallarta, the couple used a Google Sheet.
Which, honestly, was kind of iconic.
Everything was there:
guest list
order of invites
details
But also:
chaotic
confusing
not something guests naturally navigate
I was literally listed as guest #50 out of 50.
Which is funny—but also proves the point:
information existing is not the same as information working
What the “One Link” Rule Actually Means
What the “One Link” Rule Actually Means
It’s simple:
If a guest has a question, there is exactly one place to go.
Not:
“check your email”
“I think it’s in the invite”
“hold on, I’ll resend it”
Just:
“It’s all here.”
That link should contain:
date + time
location(s)
schedule
RSVP
any notes guests need
And it should be:
clean
mobile-friendly
easy to understand in 10 seconds
Where Most Weddings Break This Rule
Where Most Weddings Break This Rule
Most weddings try to centralize.
But they end up with:
platform websites + external RSVP links
multiple versions of information
updates sent in different places
So now you don’t have one link.
You have:
a network of partial links
Which defeats the entire point.
The Best Weddings Feel Effortless
The Best Weddings Feel Effortless
When this rule is followed, something subtle happens.
Guests:
arrive on time
know where to go
don’t ask unnecessary questions
The wedding feels:
smooth
intentional
well-run
Even if behind the scenes, it wasn’t.
Because clarity creates the feeling of ease.
What I Would Do Now
What I Would Do Now
If I were planning a wedding today, I would start here:
Not with the venue.
Not with the flowers.
With:
where does everything live?
And the answer would be:
one clean website
That’s it.
No platform maze.
No scattered updates.
Just one place where everything makes sense.
Why This Rule Matters More Than Anything Else
Why This Rule Matters More Than Anything Else
You can have:
a beautiful venue
great food
perfect styling
And still have a wedding that feels disorganized.
Because guests are confused.
Fix the communication—
and everything else feels better.
A Better Way to Do It
A Better Way to Do It
This is exactly why I built His & His Forever.
Not to give couples another thing to manage.
But to give them:
one place where everything lives
We build:
clean, personalized wedding websites
simple, structured layouts
one link you send to everyone
No logins.
No juggling platforms.
Just clarity.
Final Thought
Final Thought
If your wedding has more than one link—
it already has too many.
Reduce it to one.
Everything else gets easier.
