Squarespace gives you a wedding website at your site ID followed by .squarespace.com, or your own domain. Here's how to get it onto your invitations in a form guests can type, and why a link you control helps if anything changes.
The built-in address starts as random words
Squarespace gives every site a built-in address made of random words until you change the site ID in the Domains panel. Couples often buy a domain instead, which is a yearly cost after the first year. A short link gives you a short, readable address to print without buying a domain.
Your site must be public
Squarespace sites are private until you're on a paid plan and publish them. Check your site opens in a private browser window before you print the link.
Password-protected sites
If you've set a site-wide password, guests following your short link see Squarespace's lock screen first. Give them the password too.
A one-click step for the first 72 hours
Squarespace hosts all kinds of sites, not only weddings, so for the first 72 hours after you set up or change your link, guests see a short "you're leaving" page with a button to continue. After that the link goes straight through. Set your link up a few days before you send anything out.
Setting it up
- Copy your Squarespace website address, and check it opens in a private browser window.
- On our home page, choose your short link, such as thisisourwedding.co.uk/samandalex, and paste your Squarespace address into "Where it should go".
- Pay £2.99 a month, monthly or up front. Your link and its QR code are ready straight away.
- Print the link and the SVG QR code on your stationery. Test it from a printed proof.
