Beach wedding invitation with tide, sunset and travel notes
A beach wedding depends on things a standard invitation never mentions: what time the sun sets, whether the tide covers the walk to the sand, and what shoes will survive the stones. This page holds those details next to the date and map, so guests read them before they arrive. Guests open one link without an account and reply yes or no with a headcount.

What to put on a beach wedding invitation
- Ceremony time, with the sunset time for that day written beside it
- Map link to the exact beach access point and the nearest car park
- Tide note for the walk to the sand, including which route to use at high tide
- Footwear advice: whether shoes are optional, and what to wear for the stony path
- Travel and stay: nearest airport, transfer options, and a hotel block with a booking deadline
- Heat and wind notes for the dress, plus a wrap or jacket for after sunset
- Add-to-calendar file so the ceremony time goes straight into a phone
- RSVP form with yes or no, number of guests, a note and up to six questions, such as dietary needs
The page has an RSVP form: guests say yes or no, how many are coming, and anything you ask (allergies, email, phone). You get an email for each reply and a guest list with a CSV export.

Wording you can use
- โAnna and Daniel are getting married on the sand at the north end of the beach, and the ceremony begins at 6:40 pm.โ Use it
- โSunset is at 8:52 pm that evening, so please arrive by 6:15 pm to find your place before the vows.โ Use it
- โShoes are optional for the ceremony, but the path down to the sand is stony, so flat shoes are a good idea for the walk.โ Use it
- โThe walk from the car park to the sand takes about ten minutes, and at high tide we will use the upper route.โ Use it

Questions
- Does the page work out the sunset and tide times for me?
- No. You look up the times for the ceremony day and write them into the page yourself, or ask for the change in chat. The page shows what you type.
- How do I tell guests what shoes to wear?
- Put it in the notes, for example that shoes are optional but the path is stony. Guests see it on the same page as the map and the time.
- Can I give guests hotel and travel details?
- Yes. The notes can hold the nearest airport, transfer options, a hotel block and a booking deadline. The page does not take bookings, so guests book with the hotel directly.
- How will I know who is coming?
- Each reply sends you an email. The guest list shows totals for yes, no and headcount, and you can download it as a CSV.
- Do guests need an account to open the invitation?
- No. They open the one link, read the details and send their reply from the same page.
