Make your wedding countdown

  1. Choose Customize this countdown and set the date and time of the ceremony.
  2. For a destination wedding, pick the venue’s time zone, so guests everywhere count down to the same moment.
  3. Add your names as the title and a line like “We can’t wait to celebrate with you” as the subtitle.
  4. Choose colors and a font that match your invitations, and optionally a photo as the background (any image link starting with https).
  5. Copy the link and share it, or use Embed on website for your wedding website.

Where couples use it

  • Save-the-dates and invitations: put the link or a QR code to it on the card.
  • Wedding websites: most website builders that accept embed code can show it live. See the embed guide.
  • Group chats: one link for the wedding party and family.
  • Planning boards: embed it in your Notion or Canva planner.

After the wedding

Set the countdown to repeat yearly and it becomes an anniversary countdown: the same link counts down to your next anniversary every year.
