How to Word a Wedding Website URL on Your Invitations

Short version: Keep it simple and tell guests what they'll find there. "For details and to RSVP, visit [URL]" works for almost every style. Put it on a details card (paper) or link it directly (digital). Don't bury it in small print.

You'd think this would be straightforward, but it's one of those small decisions that trips people up. Do you say "visit our website"? Do you write out the full URL? Do you put it on the invitation or a separate card? Here are examples for every style, plus the practical details that matter.

The wording

Match the tone of your invitation wording. If the invitation is formal, the website line should be too. If it's casual, keep it casual. Here are examples across the spectrum:

Formal

"Kindly visit [URL] for additional details and to respond."

"Further information and the favour of your reply may be found at [URL]."

"Please visit [URL] to confirm your attendance."

Warm and modern

"For details and to RSVP, visit [URL]."

"Everything you need to know is at [URL]."

"RSVP and find all the details at [URL]."

Casual

"All the details are at [URL]. See you there!"

"Head to [URL] to RSVP and get the scoop."

"Find everything at [URL]."

What to include in the website line

  • The URL (keep it short and readable)
  • What guests will find there (RSVP, details, directions)
  • Optionally, the RSVP deadline

What to leave out

  • "http://" or "https://" (unnecessary, clutters the print)
  • "www." (same reason)
  • Long URLs with random characters (use a clean, readable URL)

Where to put it

Paper invitations

Most couples put the website URL on a separate details card or enclosure card, not on the main invitation itself. The main invitation stays clean and focused on the essentials (who, when, where). The details card handles the rest: website link, accommodation info, dress code, and anything else that doesn't fit on the main card.

If you'd rather keep it all on one card, a small line at the bottom works: "For details and to RSVP: alwaysandforever.ca/ournames"

A QR code next to the URL is a good addition for paper. Guests who are comfortable scanning can go straight to the site. Those who aren't can type the URL. Include both.

Digital invitations

For digital invitations, the website link should be a tappable button or hyperlink, not just plain text. "RSVP Now" or "View Details" as a button that links to the site is the standard approach. Guests tap once and they're there.

If your digital invitation is sent through your wedding website platform, the link is usually built right in. The invitation and the website are the same experience. That's the smoothest version of this.

Save-the-dates

A smaller, simpler line is fine here. Save-the-dates are a heads-up, not the full invitation. Something like:

"More details at [URL]"

"Wedding website coming soon at [URL]"

If the site isn't fully ready when you send save-the-dates, it's okay to include the URL with a note that more details are coming. Just make sure the link works and the page doesn't look broken.

A clean URL matters. "alwaysandforever.ca/theoandolivia" looks great on an invitation. Every Always & Forever site gets a personalized URL that's easy to read, type, and remember.

URL formatting for print

How the URL looks on the printed card matters. A few rules:

  • Skip the protocol. Write "alwaysandforever.ca/ournames" not "https://alwaysandforever.ca/ournames"
  • Lowercase everything. URLs are case-insensitive but lowercase looks cleaner in print.
  • Use a readable font. Make sure the URL is in a font where "l" and "1" and "o" and "0" are distinguishable. If your invitation font is very decorative, set the URL in your body font instead.
  • Size it appropriately. Not so small that people squint, not so large that it dominates the card. It's supporting information, not the headline.

Including the RSVP deadline

If the website is where guests RSVP, consider adding the deadline alongside the URL:

"Please RSVP by June 1 at [URL]."

"Kindly respond by [date] at [URL]."

This is especially useful on paper invitations where guests might set the card aside and forget. The deadline and the link in the same line gives them everything they need to take action. For more on setting the right deadline, see my RSVP wording guide.

If you're using both paper and digital RSVPs

Some couples include a paper reply card and a website link for guests who prefer online. In that case, word it clearly so guests know they can do either:

"Please respond by [date] using the enclosed card or online at [URL]."

In practice, most guests will use whichever method is easier for them. Younger guests will go online. Some older guests will mail the card. Either way, you get the response.

If you want to encourage online RSVPs (because tracking is much easier digitally), make the website link more prominent than the reply card. People default to what's easiest to see.
