Wedding Day- 25 Frequently Asked Questions

1. What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

While the official wedding ceremony start time will be listed on your invitations, your guests may want to know how early they can and should arrive. To answer this FAQ, talk to your venue about when the doors will open and guests will be allowed to enter the space. You can then recommend that guests arrive 15 minutes or so before the official ceremony start time so they can get settled before the proceedings. 

2. What is the dress code?

"What should I wear?" is probably the most-asked question you'll receive in the weeks leading up to your wedding day. You can't play fashion consultant for everyone on your guest list, but you can provide some additional information on in your wedding website FAQ section. If you included a dress code on your wedding invitation, provide some specific examples of what it means (Semi-formal: Cocktail dresses and jumpsuits, dark suits and ties, etc.). If you didn't provide a dress code, give guests an idea of what would be appropriate to wear to your event (sundresses, polo shirts, and slacks or shorts for a beach casual wedding, for example). The more specific you can be about attire, the more helpful to your loved ones.

3. Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?

Sharing the indoor/outdoor breakdown of your wedding day is important so guests can dress appropriately, choose the right footwear, and bring any necessities like sunscreen, a hat, and bug repellent for a summer event, or a jacket, shawl, or gloves for a cooler-weather wedding. If there are certain items that your guests should bring to ensure their comfort, feel free to make recommendations. You can also share if you'll be providing any weather-related items, like fans or blankets. 

4. What will the weather be like?

While you can't predict the exact forecast for your special day, you can give guests an idea of what the weather is typically like in your wedding location at that time of year. Again, this information will help your guests choose their attire. 

5. What will your wedding-day timeline look like?

When it comes to your wedding day, guests want to know what to expect. How long will the ceremony be? Will cocktail hour occur immediately following or will there be a break in between? If guests have to travel from the ceremony to the reception venue, how long will that take? When does the cocktail hour end and the reception begin? When will dinner be served? Providing guests with an estimated timeline (noting that it's subject to change) will help them feel more comfortable and able to plan ahead.

6. How do I get to the wedding venue? Will transportation be provided?

Yes, providing a direction card with your invitations is a nice gesture, but in reality, your guests will most likely lose it. While most everyone has a GPS these days, it's a good idea to provide your guests with directions on your website in case they forget the address or have other issues on the day of. If you're providing a shuttle or other transportation to and from your venue(s), now's the time to share those details, including timing and pickup and drop-off locations. 

7. Is there parking available at the wedding venue?

For guests who will be driving themselves, parking information is key. Does your venue have its own lot/garage, will there be valet, or are guests expected to find their own parking? If the latter, provided a list of suggested parking lots and/or garages is helpful. 

8. Can I bring my kids?

This is another question you'll often hear during the wedding planning process. If you're choosing a blanket no-kids policy, you can say something like: "Due to [space/constraints or safety restrictions], we are unable to accommodate children at our wedding." 

9. What type of food and drink will be served during the cocktail hour and reception?

No, you don't have to share the entire detailed menu on your wedding website FAQ page. But, it's helpful for guests to know when and how food will be served. For example: "We'll be serving light passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, followed by a three-course plated dinner and dessert" or "A full brunch will be served."

10. I have dietary restrictions/allergies. What's the best way to let you know?

Guests who are gluten-free or have other dietary restrictions and/or allergies may be worried that they won't be able to eat anything at your reception. Your best bet is to include a space on your RSVP card for guests to write any dietary restrictions so you can address them with your caterer. Or, you can include information on your FAQ page about how to reach out to you directly with any concerns. 

11. Will there be an open bar?

Read: Your guests want to know if they'll need to bring cash. 

12. Have you booked hotel room blocks for guests? 

If you've reserved room blocks  for your wedding guests (definitely a good idea if you're having out-of-town guests!), hotel information should be listed in the travel section of your wedding website, but it may also be helpful to include these details on the FAQ page. Include the different hotels, a brief description of each, price ranges, any code your guests will need to include when booking, and information on how to book (a link or phone number). 

13. Can I take pictures during the ceremony to post on social media?

Definitely an important question, particularly if you're opting for an unplugged wedding. Let your guests know of your preference related to photo-taking and social media usage during your wedding. If you're going the unplugged route, be sure to include signage and a note in your ceremony program reminding guests to put their phones away on your big day. 

14. What's the best way to RSVP? 

Let guests know if they'll be RSVPing via snail mail or if there's online RSVP option as well. 

15. When is the RSVP deadline?

Shout this one from the rooftops! The last thing you want it to have to track down guests who haven't RSVP'd by the deadline. 

16. I can't attend the wedding in person. Will there be a virtual wedding celebration?

These days, many weddings include a virtual component so that guests who can't attend in person can join in the celebration. If you're allowing guests to Zoom in, this is a great opportunity to share the details, including the timing, links, passwords, etc. 

17. I'm visiting from out of town. What can I do while I'm in [your wedding city]?

Share a list of your favorite activities, restaurants, and landmarks that out-of-town guests may enjoy during their stay. This is nice to include on your wedding website, and a printout of suggested activities is also recommended for your welcome bags, if you're providing them. 

18. Do you have a wedding registry?

While you should have a separate registry section on your wedding website, you can also include the info (retailers and links to your registry) here as well. 

19. Can I bring my gift to the wedding?

A nice reply would be: "Your presence is present enough, but should you wish to bring a gift to our wedding, there will be a gift table for your convenience."

20. Will there be any other events to attend during the wedding weekend?

This is where it gets tricky. Only events that all guests are invited to should be included on your wedding website. So, you may want to skip this question, or if there are events that everyone's invited to (a welcome happy hour or a post-wedding brunch), you can include those here. 

21. What's your wedding hashtag?

If you've selected a wedding hashtag, don't be shy about sharing it! And remember to find opportunities to display your hashtag on your wedding day, too. 

22. When will the reception end? Will there be an after-party?

While some of your guests may want to party all night, others (particularly older guests and those with young children), will need to know when the event will be over. And if you're hosting an after-party, you can share the information here, too. 

23. What health and safety measures will you be taking during the event?

For those hosting a wedding during the COVID pandemic, providing health and safety information is crucial. In fact, you may want to include a separate wedding website FAQ section or send out an email devoted solely to COVID-related procedures. Whether you're asking your guests to be vaccinated and/or tested before your event, sharing mask and social distancing information, or any other rules you and your vendors are enforcing, it's best to let your guests know in advance so they'll know what to expect. 

24. How will you communicate any updated information and/or changes before the wedding?

If there's a chance that your wedding will be postponed or otherwise altered, it's best to let your guests know how they'll receive that information (email, text, etc.). 

25. What's the best way to contact you if I have additional questions?

We like the idea of creating a separate email account strictly for wedding-related messages and questions. But you can also include your personal email address or mobile number here—just be prepared to receive some texts as you approach your big day (even though you've likely answered most of your guests' questions here!).
