How to Set Up a Wedding Website in Under an Hour

Build a free wedding website in under an hour: pick a theme, add date and venue, publish your timeline and registry, and share one link with guests.

You can set up a wedding website in under an hour by choosing a theme, adding your date and venue, publishing RSVP and registry links, and sharing one URL with guests.

You do not need a developer, a design degree, or a week of evenings. A wedding website is simply the calm, central place where guests learn when to arrive, how to RSVP, and where to find your registry—without texting you individually.

Step 1: Create your free site

Sign in to Cherry Moments and start a new wedding event. Pick a theme that matches your tone—romantic florals, vineyard warmth, or something playful if that is more you.

Your custom URL (like yournames.cherrymoments.com) is included free. Claim something short guests can remember and type from a paper invite.

Step 2: Publish the essentials first

Add your names, wedding date, ceremony and reception venues, and start times. Include time zone if guests are traveling.

Write a short welcome paragraph—two or three sentences about how excited you are and what the weekend looks like. You can refine the wording later; guests mainly need facts first.

  • Full street address for each venue
  • Dress code or attire notes
  • RSVP deadline and link to your form
  • A note about plus-ones and children

Date, venue, and welcome copy are enough to go live on day one.

Step 3: Add timeline and travel

List ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and send-off times. If you are hosting a welcome dinner or brunch, add those as separate entries.

For destination weddings, link hotel blocks, airport suggestions, and parking notes. Out-of-town guests will check this section more than any other.

Step 4: Link your registries

Paste registry links from any store into one page on your site. If you prefer cash funds or experiences, say that clearly—guests appreciate direct guidance.

One registry hub beats five links scattered across texts and emails.

Step 5: Share the link early

Send your wedding website when save-the-dates go out—or as soon as you have a date and venue. Guests can RSVP from day one even while you add photos and FAQ details later.

Cherry Moments is free through your wedding and beyond, so there is no rush to tear the site down after the last dance. Let it grow with your planning, then become the archive guests revisit.
