For the couple stuck on the wording
Rather than another list of features, here is what each part of a good page actually says. Read the samples, then adapt the phrasing to your own names and day.
To make the samples concrete, imagine Marta and Tom: a ceremony at a village church in the morning, lunch at a farmhouse a short drive away, and a relaxed evening. Nothing about them is precious; they simply say what is happening and let guests relax. Walk through the page as they would write it, and steal the shape for your own.
The thread running through every section below is specificity. A good page never says "details to follow" or "the venue is lovely"; it names the time, the road, the ground underfoot, and the answer to the question guests would otherwise text to ask. That is what turns a pretty invitation into one that actually saves you from the twenty-third message about parking.
Guests want to feel expected. One warm sentence at the top does more than a long paragraph.
We are so glad you can be there. Below is everything about the day, from the church bells at two to the last dance at the farmhouse.
The timeline's job is to remove the question 'what happens when, and where'. Name each part plainly.
2:00 pm, St Mary's village church, High Lane. Seating is open; arrive a little early if you can.
4:30 pm onward, Ashford Farm, ten minutes by car from the church. Drinks first, then a long lunch outside if the weather holds.
Say the words, then explain the ground, the weather, and the shoe question everyone secretly has.
Garden-party smart. The ceremony is on stone and the lawn can be damp afterwards, so block heels will thank you. Bring a jacket for the evening.
Guests travelling want the drive, the parking, and where to sleep settled before they book anything.
The farm is eight miles from the station; the church is a five-minute drive from the village. There is a shared minibus from the station at noon if you would rather not drive.
We have held a few rooms at the Bell Inn in the village until the end of the month. Mention Marta and Tom when you book.
Answer the thing guests would otherwise text you to ask, in the same plain register as the rest.
The ceremony is adults, so little ones can join us for the family barbecue on the Sunday instead.
Free field parking at the farm with a short walk to the tables; the church has three spaces for anyone who needs them.
How it works
Write one warm sentence naming the day and its rough shape, the way Marta and Tom open with the church bells and the last dance.
Give each part a time and a place, and note how you move between venues if there is more than one.
Borrow the plain, specific tone. Say what to wear and answer the questions you would otherwise get by message.
Draft the wording with Clara or Jitabi, then edit it into your own voice before you publish the page.
Questions
A welcome, the story in a line or two, a schedule with times and places, travel and directions, a dress-code note, an FAQ, and the reply button. Those cover almost every question a guest brings.
Give each part a plain name, its start time, and its address, then add one line about the gap and how to travel between them, as in the ceremony and farmhouse rows above.
Very. Name the level of smartness, mention the ground and the weather, and settle the shoe question. Specific detail saves guests guessing and saves you explaining.
The ones you keep being asked: children, parking, arrival time, where to stay, and whether dinner is sit-down. Answer each in a sentence or two in your own register.
Yes. Jitabi on WhatsApp and Clara on the web can draft the wording, which you then edit into your own voice before publishing.
Get Started
Take these samples, swap in your names, times, and places, and the page will read as if a friend wrote it, because you did.
