What guests need

After our own wedding, the feedback from guests was consistent: the clearer we were about what was happening and when, the more relaxed they felt. A multi-day schedule shared through a personalised Couple Hub & Guest Hub let them plan their trip around our celebration with confidence.

We shared airport details, ground transport options, visa requirements, and estimated costs with our guests. For friends who'd never been to Bali, it turned nervousness into excitement. The less guests have to research independently, the more they look forward to the trip.

What we learned is that while your planner might need some guest details — names for seating, dietary requirements for the caterer — it's really you as the couple who needs the full picture. You're the ones planning welcome dinners, coordinating group transport from the airport, and organising pre-wedding activities. Knowing who's arriving when, from where, and what they need is essential for making the whole trip feel seamless.

Don't assume everyone wants the same hotel — our guests certainly didn't. We offered options from premium resorts to boutique stays to villa rentals for families. Having all accommodation details in one shared view saved guests from hunting through email threads.

For many of our guests, it was their first visit to Bali. A short local guide — favourite cafés, scenic spots, cultural tips — transformed their trip from "attending a wedding" to "having a holiday." We also captured dietary needs early through our RSVP flow so caterers could plan without last-minute scrambles.

We shared expected weather, specific dress codes for each event, and practical reminders — sunscreen, comfortable shoes for temple visits, a light layer for evenings. A destination-specific packing checklist shared through our Couple Hub & Guest Hub was a small touch that guests told us they genuinely appreciated.

Your guests have invested time, money, and annual leave. Acknowledge that. We put a thank-you note in their welcome bag, introduced everyone warmly at the first event, and seated solo travellers thoughtfully. The goal is for every guest to feel like they belong, not like they're observing someone else's holiday.
