Wedding invitation website: what Filipino guests need on it, examples and the options compared

A wedding invitation website is one link that holds everything guests need: the date and schedule, each venue with a map pin, the entourage, dress code, gift details, FAQs and an RSVP form. In the Philippines you send it through Messenger or Viber, and it can stand in for the printed card for everyone except sponsors and elders.

To see one before reading further, open a live sample invitation on your phone and tap through it the way a guest would.

Is a wedding website the same as a wedding invitation website?

Mostly, yes. In the US a wedding website sits behind a printed invitation, and the card carries the URL. For many Filipino couples the order is reversed: the website is the invitation, and a printed card goes only to sponsors and elders.

That changes what goes on it. Where a US site can lean on hotel blocks and registries, a Filipino one has to work as the invitation itself, so it opens with the couple's names, the date and the church, then answers the questions your titas would otherwise message you about.

What should a wedding website include for Filipino guests?

Seven sections cover almost every question guests ask. Put them in the order guests need them.

Set the RSVP deadline 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding and send the link 10 to 12 weeks before, so guests have at least four weeks to reply. Our RSVP guide covers the wording and the hard cases.

For the entourage, list the roles in the order they march. Our entourage list guide explains every role if you are still deciding who does what.

How do you word the gift section?

Keep it short and warm, and put the payment details below the message so nobody has to ask. Two versions to adapt:

Your presence is the best gift. If you wish to bless us further, a gift toward our new home would mean so much. You can send it through the details below.

Ang pagdalo ninyo ang pinakamagandang regalo. Kung nais po ninyong magbigay, maaari po itong ipadala sa mga detalye sa ibaba.

Add each method as its own block: the label (GCash, Maya, BDO), the account name exactly as registered, the number and a QR code. Guests abroad will look for a bank option, so include one if you have family overseas.

What do wedding website examples look like?

Two live samples show the range. Both are demo weddings seeded for this purpose, not real couples.

The Romantic sample opens on a photo, the date and both venues, with a countdown under them. The menu has four items: Where, The Day, Details and RSVP. Four is enough. A guest opening it in Messenger wants the church, the time or the RSVP, and each is one tap away.

The Piña sample is built around a calado lace edge and labels its menu in Tagalog: Programa, Mga Lugar, Detalye. It opens with "Ikakasal na." If your family speaks Tagalog at home, a few words like these make the site feel like yours.

Eleven more are on the samples page, one per design.

Which wedding website builder should Filipino couples use?

It depends on two things most comparisons skip: whether guests can RSVP without hunting for their name, and whether cash gifts can reach a Philippine account. Prices below were checked on each official page in September 2026.

A few things the table can't hold.

Link of Time's cheaper tiers leave out parts this guide calls essential. Google Maps starts at the ₱1,200 Lite tier. The schedule and FAQs start at Standard, ₱3,500. Dress code and entourage start at Premium, ₱6,000.

WedPlanner's free plan lets you design but not publish. You pay to put the site online at all.

Canva gives you the most design freedom. Its free form sends answers to Canva Sheets, but every guest fills in the same form, so you match names to your list by hand. If you already designed your invitation there, keep the design and decide where the RSVPs should live. Our Google Forms guide shows where a form stops being enough.

When is a free wedding website enough?

More often than wedding tools admit. A free Zola, Joy or The Knot site is enough if:

• most of your guests are abroad, or you want a US registry anyway;
• your guest list is small enough to check RSVPs by hand;
• you're happy to list GCash and bank details as text and skip the built-in cash fund.

Free starts to cost you in two places. The first is the shared link: one URL in a group chat means you depend on each guest typing their name the way it appears on your list. The second is the cash fund, which on the two biggest US builders won't pay out to a Philippine account.

How do you share a wedding website with guests?

Send it privately, one household at a time, through the app they already read. DataReportal's Digital 2026 report puts Messenger's ad reach at 83.3 percent of Filipino adults, so for most guests that is the right channel. Viber works for the titos who live there.

Before you send it, open the link inside Messenger and check the preview card shows your names and a photo, not a blank box.

For sponsors and elders, print. A small batch of cards with a QR code to the website covers the guests who expect paper. What that costs next to an all-print run is in our digital vs printed invitations guide. For the invitation itself, from design to sending, see our digital wedding invitation guide.

Where Ceremo fits

If your guests are mostly abroad and you want a registry, Zola or Joy will do the job for free, and a Canva site is fine if you only need something to look at. Ceremo is built for the Filipino version of the job. Each household gets its own RSVP link with its invited names already on it, so a guest answers in one tap without an account, and you get a notification when they do. The site carries the rest of this guide on the free plan: schedule, venues with map directions, the entourage, an attire guide with photos per role, FAQs and a gift section for GCash, Maya or bank QR codes.

Ceremo is free for up to 50 guests. Premium is a one-time ₱2,499, not a subscription, and adds unlimited guests, a custom URL and color presets for each design. See how the wedding website works, or start yours and send the first link tonight.
