Guest Information Checklist

What information do I need to supply my guests with?

As your guests will be travelling abroad for your wedding you need to provide them with as much information as possible about your wedding and wedding destination. By using our handy Guest Information Checklist you can feel confident that you’ve got it covered.

Sarah & Jonathon’s Wedding in Italy

Do your research and provide your guests with plenty of fantastic information.

The more useful and relevant information you give your guests the easier you will make it for them to attend your wedding abroad.

From the moment your guests receive your wedding invitation make their experience of your wedding special and hassle free.

If your guests believe it will be a lot of hard work and organisation for them to attend your wedding, their enthusiasm may not be high and your guest response rate may be lower than expected.

Help make your guests decision to come to your wedding abroad and the time they spend making arrangements for your wedding as easy and effortless as possible.

Most importantly really grab your guests’ attention and get them excited about your wedding abroad.

You can provide this information to your guests in a written pack which you include with your wedding invitation or you can set up a personal wedding website. We believe a wedding website is the most effective method and is very easy to create.

Hot Tips!

Appy Couple Wedding Website & AppThis is one of my personal favourites, not only for its drop and drag functionality making it super easy to use, but also as it’s loaded with features which make it particularly well suited for those organising a wedding abroad.

Your wedding abroad guests can download the app for free from the App Store or Google Play or they can stay up-to-date with all your wending abroad event info on the wedding website.

In short Appy Couple is a stylish wedding website with an app, which will make a great first impression on your guests and keep everything organised. RSVPs, photo sharing, event info, travel details, chat, registries and more.
