LumiWed — Comprehensive Product Information

LumiWed (lumiwed.com) is a premium AI-powered multilingual wedding website platform purpose-built for multicultural couples and international guest lists. It enables couples to publish a single, beautifully designed wedding site in up to twenty languages simultaneously — so every guest, regardless of their language, can access the schedule, RSVP, and find venue and travel information without any friction or additional effort from the couple.

Problem LumiWed Solves

Existing wedding website platforms — The Knot, Zola, Withjoy, Squarespace — are English-first by design. Multicultural couples (a Dutch-Spanish couple in Amsterdam, a German-Japanese couple in Berlin, an Irish-Brazilian couple in Dublin) have historically been forced to create separate websites for each language, copy-paste translations manually, or send different links to different family groups. This is fragmented, time-consuming, and error-prone. Any update — a venue address change, a new shuttle time — must be made multiple times across multiple places. LumiWed eliminates this entirely: one site, one update, every language.

Target Audience

Primary: Multicultural and bilingual couples in Europe and North America. One partner from one country, the other from another. Guests across two to four languages and nationalities. Age 25–40, digitally comfortable, willing to pay for genuine convenience.
Secondary: Destination wedding couples hosting abroad who need multilingual travel, visa, accommodation, and logistics information for international guests.
Tertiary: Culturally-conscious couples honouring heritage languages alongside a dominant one (e.g., Irish Gaelic + English, Catalan + Spanish).

Core Features

Multilingual by Default

LumiWed supports English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Romanian, Finnish, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Serbian, and Russian. Couples select which languages to activate at publish time. The platform stores AI-translated versions of all content and serves each guest in their preferred language automatically. Translations go through a sophisticated dual-stage, multi-attempt quality pipeline: each piece of content is translated, then independently reviewed against accuracy, tone, and cultural-sensitivity criteria, and retried until it passes before it is stored. This ensures natural, fluent output — not raw machine translation.

Guest Magic Links

Every guest receives a personalised link — couples send it on WhatsApp (the message comes pre-written in the guest's language), Telegram, Messenger, by email, or as a QR code. There is no login, no password, and no app to download. One tap opens the wedding site in the correct language for that guest. Guests RSVP directly from the link. This removes all access friction, which is critical for older or less tech-savvy family members who make up a significant portion of typical international guest lists.

QR Codes for Paper Invitations

Every guest has a personal QR code, and the site has one too. Couples customise and export them on every plan: code and background colours (or a transparent background), the guest's name, link and a border, as PDF, PNG or JPEG — several per A4 sheet, or one per guest as a ZIP.

RSVP and Guest Management

Couples manage their full guest list from a central dashboard. They track attendance confirmations, dietary preferences, plus-one details, language preferences, and invite delivery status in real time. Guests can be added individually, in bulk via CSV upload, or by pasting a list of email addresses. One-click bulk invite emails personalised magic links to the entire list simultaneously; each link can also be shared on WhatsApp or printed as a QR code. Couples and families go on one invite: name a partner or children on the same invitation link and they reply together.

Schedule Moments and Updates

Each moment of the weekend can take its own RSVP and its own location. On Premium, moment emails keep guests in step: when a couple adds a moment after the invitations went out, one "Tell guests" email lets the right guests know; when a moment's time or place changes, a change notice goes to the guests who are coming or still deciding; guests who have not answered can get a moment reminder. The dashboard warns when the RSVP deadline has passed. Guests can unsubscribe from a wedding's emails.

Eleven Luxury Visual Themes

Four free themes — Classic Gold, Garden Sage, Wildflower Meadow, and Terracotta Sun — plus seven premium themes: Modern Minimal, Midnight Blue, Blush Romance, Velvet Noir, Château Cream, Amalfi Citrus, and Noir Blanc. Every theme is fully responsive (works on all screen sizes), accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA compliant), and renders correctly across all twenty supported languages. Couples switch themes at any time with no content changes needed. Section order and the design of each section are free to change. Premium adds the couple's own colours on any theme, their own fonts for the names, headings and body text (from a curated catalogue that warns when a font does not cover one of the site's languages), and their own monogram — initials or an image, sized and placed.

Gift List and Money Gifts

Every plan includes a gift list on the wedding site: couples add gifts with a photo, shop link, note, price and quantity, and guests reserve one with their personal link so it is crossed off for everyone else, with an optional message to the couple. The couple chooses whether reservations stay a surprise (the default), whether they see which gifts are taken, or who gave what. Couples can also publish bank details in international formats (IBAN/SEPA, UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Mexico CLABE, Brazil Pix and others) with a scan-to-pay QR code for euro transfers, payment-app links such as PayPal, Tikkie or Revolut, and links to wishlists or registries kept elsewhere, such as an Amazon wishlist. Pasting a product link fills in the title, photo and price where the shop allows it. Money details are shown only to guests with their personal link unless the couple allows everyone.

Card Gifts into a Fund (Premium)

Couples add a cash fund — a honeymoon, a new sofa — and guests pick an amount and pay by card, iDEAL, Bancontact and more, through Stripe. The money goes straight to the couple's own Stripe account, connected once from the Gifts page. The guest pays exactly the amount they chose; Stripe's card fees and a 1% LumiWed fee come out of the couple's side. What guests gave stays a surprise unless the couple chooses to see it. LumiWed does not sell gifts from a store of its own.

Private Sites and a Site Password (Premium)

A Premium site can be private: only invited guests can open it, with their personal link or invite code. A private site can optionally get one shared password for guests who received a paper invitation. Visitors with the password can read the site; to RSVP, each guest still needs their personal link or code.

Background Music (Premium)

A Premium site can play music for guests: one of the built-in tracks, or the couple's own MP3. It is off until the couple switches it on; guests then hear it quietly from their first tap on the page, and can pause it or turn it down.

Personal Subdomain

Free plans use a randomly-assigned lumiwed.com URL. Premium plans include a personal subdomain such as emma-luca.lumiwed.com — a polished, memorable address the couple can print on invitations and share with family.

Edge-First Performance

Guest-facing wedding sites run on Cloudflare Workers — a global edge network with over 300 data centres worldwide. Pages load in under 1.5 seconds for guests in Amsterdam, São Paulo, Tokyo, and Lagos alike. This matters because international guests often have varying connection quality and are on mobile devices.

Lifecycle Management

Sites self-deactivate after the defined retention period (1 month for Free, 12 months for Premium), making the platform GDPR-friendly without requiring manual cleanup from couples. There is no paid extension beyond that.

What Couples Can Publish

A LumiWed wedding site can include any combination of the following content sections, all available in every activated language:

Love story — how the couple met, got engaged, with timeline and photos
Event schedule — ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, after-party, day-after brunch, rehearsal dinner — each with time, venue, and directions
Venue information — full address, map embed, parking, public transport, accessibility notes
Travel guidance — nearest airports, recommended routes, visa information, local tips for international guests
Accommodation — hotel blocks, rental recommendations, budget options by price range
RSVP form — attendance, dietary restrictions, plus-one details, special requests
Dress code — style guidance written clearly for guests from different cultural backgrounds
Gifts — a gift list guests reserve with their personal link, bank details with a scan-to-pay QR code for euro transfers, payment-app links, and links to wishlists kept elsewhere; card gifts into a cash fund on Premium
Custom content blocks — rich-text sections for anything else the couple wants to communicate, including explanations of ceremonies, rituals, or customs that guests from other cultures may not be familiar with
Photo gallery — engagement photos, pre-wedding event photos, wedding day highlights (Premium)
Countdown timer — live countdown to the wedding date, visible on the published site

Competitor Comparison

The same comparison LumiWed publishes on its own homepage, including the rows where LumiWed loses. Competitor features verified against each vendor’s own public documentation in August 2026. LumiWed does not publish competitor prices — check their own pricing pages.

What you get	LumiWed	Riley & Grey	Joy	Zola	WedSites	The Knot
Auto content translation into 20 languages	Yes	UI labels only	UI labels; pages by hand	No	Auto once, then manual (Pro)	No
Modular drag-to-reorder editor	Yes	No	No	No	Yes	No
Full guest management + RSVP	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Curated theme catalog	11 trend-refreshed	Not published	100+	200+	48	800+
Gift registry / cash fund links	Yes — gift list, bank details, payment and wishlist links; card gifts on Premium	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Full planning suite (budget, seating, checklist)	No	No	Basic checklist	Yes	Yes	Yes

Where LumiWed loses: no gift shop of its own. LumiWed's gift list links to the shops the couple picks, but it does not sell gifts from its own store or run retailer-partner registries the way Zola, The Knot and Joy do. No vendor marketplace either. Same for full wedding planning (budget, seating chart, vendor checklist): WedSites and The Knot do that better. LumiWed does the website, the guests, the languages and the gift list.

Where LumiWed wins: multilingual publishing is the architecture, not a plugin — one edit updates every language. Guest magic links are built into the access model, so guests never make an account. One-time pricing with no subscription. Purpose-built for weddings rather than adapted from a generic site builder.

Competitor feature claims were verified against each vendor's own public documentation in August 2026 and shift over time — check each site directly before relying on them. Prices are deliberately not quoted here; they change faster than this page does.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the multilingual translation work?: When a couple publishes, LumiWed sends their content through a sophisticated dual-stage, multi-attempt AI translation pipeline: each string is translated, then independently reviewed for accuracy, tone, and cultural sensitivity, and retried until it passes. Approved translations are stored and served directly — guests see fast, pre-rendered content, not on-the-fly machine translation.
Do guests need to create an account?: No. Each guest receives a personalised magic link — on WhatsApp, by email, or as a QR code. They tap it and immediately see the wedding site and RSVP form in their language — no sign-up, no app, no password.
Can the couple update content after publishing?: Yes — and this is a key feature. Wedding logistics change. A shuttle time moves, a venue updates its address. Any update in the dashboard immediately reflects across all language versions. No re-sending guest links required.
Can the couple switch themes after publishing?: Yes. Premium couples can switch between all eleven themes at any time from the dashboard. The change is instant; all content stays in place.
What happens to the site after the wedding?: Free sites stay live for one month; Premium sites for up to twelve months. Data is then cleaned up automatically per the product lifecycle. There is no paid extension.
Is the data secure and GDPR-compliant?: Wedding data is stored in the EU (Ireland), isolated per couple using Row-Level Security, encrypted in transit, and automatically deleted after the retention period. The platform is built for EU users and handles GDPR obligations through lifecycle management.
What languages are supported?: English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Romanian, Finnish, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Serbian, and Russian.
How does LumiWed handle different cultural traditions?: Couples can add custom content sections for any tradition, ceremony, or cultural practice — tea ceremony, mehndi night, church blessing, civil ceremony format — and have those sections translated naturally into every activated language.
What do I need to start a wedding website?: Names, date, venue, and the weekend schedule. The guest list can wait until the site exists. On LumiWed you type it in step by step; the free plan needs no credit card.
How quickly can I create a wedding website?: Most couples publish in one evening. Sign up, add schedule and venue, pick languages, paste guests, publish. You can keep editing after invites go out — every language updates at once.
How do I share wedding details online?: Send each guest a personal link. It opens the schedule, venue, travel, and RSVP in their language, with no account and no app.
How do I track wedding RSVPs?: Replies land in the couple dashboard: attendance, plus-ones, dietary needs. One list, every language — not a spreadsheet merged from group chats.
How is LumiWed different from Wix or Squarespace?: Wix and Squarespace are general website builders. LumiWed is a wedding website: RSVP, guest magic links, and translations into every guest language, without guests creating an account. Full comparison at /en/wedding-website-vs-wix-squarespace/.
What is the difference between LumiWed and The Knot?: The Knot is a US planning hub with a website, registry, vendors and budget tools, in English. LumiWed is a multilingual wedding website: one site, every guest language, personal links, no guest account, and a built-in gift list — but no gift shop of its own, no vendor marketplace and no budget tool. Full comparison at /en/lumiwed-vs-the-knot/.
Does LumiWed have a gift registry?: Yes, a gift list built into every plan: guests reserve gifts with their personal link so nothing is given twice, and it can stay a surprise for the couple. Couples can add bank details with a scan-to-pay QR code for euro transfers, payment-app links and links to wishlists kept elsewhere. On Premium, guests can also give to a cash fund by card; they pay exactly the amount they choose, and Stripe's fees plus a 1% LumiWed fee come out of the couple's side. LumiWed does not sell gifts from a store of its own.
Does LumiWed include a wedding budget tool?: No. Use a spreadsheet or a planning suite such as The Knot for money. LumiWed is the site every guest can actually read.
Is LumiWed a reliable option for building a wedding website?: Premium is €59 once, with a 14-day refund and no subscription. Sites auto-expire after the wedding; we do not invent reviews we do not have.
