Guest page - A wedding website for your guests, hidden from search engines
One page your guests open: date, venue, schedule, menu, who to call. The content comes from the modules you already fill in.
Half your guests will not look for the details on the invitation - they will simply ask you. What time does it start, where exactly is it, what is on the menu, who do I call if I get lost. A guest page absorbs those twenty phone calls. It is not a website builder: it works from the data you enter while planning anyway, and its style is three clicks away. The editor has three tabs - Design, Content and Share - and your changes save themselves as you work.
What it can do
Three curated themes, no free colour picker
Garden, Classic and Midnight, each a considered palette. There is deliberately no free colour picker, so the page cannot drift into something tasteless. Typography is a system serif, so accented characters render correctly on every device.
Ten sections, each with its own switch
Welcome note, schedule, menu, location, stay and travel, contacts, good to know, gift list, RSVP and countdown. Switch off anything you have no content for - the header shows how many sections are active.
Content flows in from the other modules
The schedule shows items from your Timeline, the gift list comes from your registry, and accommodation and transfers come from your logistics data. Nothing has to be typed twice, and edits there show up here.
Personal invite links
The personal link you send from the guest list also shows that guest their own room and the transfer assigned to them, with the RSVP one tap away. Anyone opening the plain link sees only the shared details.
Publish switch, and never in search
Until you publish, the address returns a not found page. Even after publishing the page stays noindex: it never appears in search engines, and only the people you send the link to can open it.
How to use it
- 1
Open the Guest page module
The page is created the first time you open it, with a web address derived from your names plus a random suffix. You get three tabs: Design, Content and Share.
- 2
Set the look
On the Design tab pick a theme, a monogram style (A & B, A + B, A / B, A and B, or none) and a date format: long, numeric or Roman. The preview cards show your own names and date straight away.
- 3
Switch on the sections you can fill
Still on the Design tab, use the Sections list. Welcome note, schedule, location, RSVP and countdown are on by default; menu, stay and travel, contacts, good to know and the gift list are not.
- 4
Write the content
On the Content tab write your welcome note or pick one of the three ready-made sentences, add the venue name and address, the menu and anything worth knowing, then add up to five contacts with a name, a role and a phone number.
- 5
Publish and share
On the Share tab turn on publishing, check the web address, then copy the link. For the RSVP itself, send each guest their personal link from the guest list - the plain link only shows the page.
Pro tips
Editing saves itself: after a short pause in typing the change goes to the server, and the header shows Saving and then Saved. The web address is the one exception - it needs its own Save button, because it can clash with another couple's address.
Settle the web address before the invitations go out. If you change it later, every link you have already sent stops working.
The random suffix at the end of the address is not decoration. The page shows your exact date and the venue address - in other words, when your home is empty - so a guessable address would put that in front of anyone.
Do not list yourselves as the contacts. You will have other things to do that day; a witness or the master of ceremonies is far more useful. Ask them first, though, because the number goes onto the published page.
Leave the gift list on the after-RSVP setting. Guests who have not replied yet never receive the list at all - the items do not even leave the server until they confirm.
Frequently asked questions
Will the guest page show up in Google?
No. The page is always served with a noindex directive, so search engines do not index it. While it is unpublished the address returns a not found page rather than an access denied one, so even the existence of the page stays private.
Do I have to retype the schedule for the guest page?
No. The schedule section renders the items from your Timeline with their time, title and location, the gift list comes from your registry, and stay and travel come from your logistics data. On the guest page you only switch the section on.
What is the difference between the couple code and a personal link?
The couple code goes on the printed invitation so guests recognise your page. The RSVP itself runs on the personal link you send from the guest list - the code on its own does not open anything.
Can I change the colours?
Only within the three themes: Garden, Classic and Midnight. A free colour picker is deliberately missing, because one badly chosen pair of colours costs more than the freedom is worth. The printable cards use the same theme.
What do guests see about accommodation?
The name, address, phone number and notes of each place to stay, plus the times and routes of the transfers. Room prices and who shares a room with whom are never sent to the page. A guest arriving on a personal link also sees their own room and their own transfer marked.
