On an Aurelia wedding website, the welcome sits just under your names and date, so it is often the first thing guests read. Pick one of the examples below and make it yours. If you need the wording for the invitation itself, see our wedding invitation wording examples.

Small weddings and elopements
We’re keeping our wedding small, so you being here means all the more. Thank you for celebrating with us.
We said our vows in Iceland, just the two of us, and now we’d love to celebrate with all of you. Join us for a party at home on Saturday 4 September 2027.
A welcome message for after the wedding
Once the day is over, swap the welcome for a thank-you. Guests often revisit the website for photos, so it is a lovely place to say it.
Thank you for making our wedding the best day of our lives. A few of our favourite photos are below, and the full gallery is coming soon. With love, Amelia & James
Tips for writing your welcome message
- Keep it to two to four sentences: the details belong in the sections below.
- Write it in the same tone as your invitation.
- Sign it from both of you, by first name.
- Avoid in-jokes only half the guests will understand.
- Mention travel if many guests are coming from far away.
Questions about welcome messages
- What do you write on the home page of a wedding website?
- Your names, the date and the place, followed by a short welcome message of two to four sentences that greets guests and points them to the details below.
- How long should a wedding website welcome message be?
- Two to four sentences. Guests usually read it on a phone, and the practical details are better placed in the schedule, travel and FAQ sections.
- Should the welcome message include the dress code?
- It can hint at the tone of the day, but the dress code is clearer in its own section, where guests will look for it.
- Should you change the welcome message after the wedding?
- Yes, it is a nice touch. Replace it with a short thank-you and a few photos for guests who come back to look.
