The order that gets replies in on time
The countdown and the welcome set the tone, then the RSVP comes straight away, because it's the one thing you need from every guest. The timings and the map follow, for the people who have said yes. Hotels and gifts come after the practical things, the FAQ catches the rest, and WhatsApp stays at the bottom as the last resort.

QR codes on the invitation, registries, Pix and bank transfers
Print the page's QR code on the invitation or on a card in the envelope with the free QR code generator, and test it from two phones before the print run. It points at the page, not a file, so if the shuttle time changes after posting, every guest still sees the right one. Set the RSVP deadline three to four weeks before the day, when caterers usually want final numbers, and write it on the invitation. The gift link goes wherever your list lives: a store or registry site in the US and UK; a lista de casamento at a shop, or an IBAN or MB Way, in Portugal; a lista de presentes site, and Pix for cash gifts, in Brazil. To take contributions on the page itself, a payment block charges through your own Stripe account.
What to write at the top
Your two names as the page name and a short line under it, like "are getting married". Leave the date to the countdown, so there's only one place to change if it moves.
The bio should say what the page is for: everything about the day, and a request to reply to the RSVP. Guests skim, so the one instruction they read should be the one you need.
For wedding planners
Build one page per couple from this template and edit the timings as suppliers confirm. Point the WhatsApp button at yourself, and questions about parking stop reaching the couple the week they're busiest.
The RSVP replies arrive in one place with dietary needs already written down, which is the list the caterer will ask for. Check them weekly and chase the missing households by name.
What to avoid, and privacy
Be honest about privacy: the page is public to anyone who has the link. Don't put it in a public Instagram bio; share it only through the invitation and the QR code. If that isn't enough, put a password in front of the page and print it on the invitation.
Leave off anything you wouldn't put on a postcard: your home address, the children's full names, where the gifts will be kept. Guests need the venue and the timings, and that's all the page has to carry.
