Display a live countdown showing days until your wedding — or any other date — that automatically switches to count up once the date passes.
​

Countdown sections display how many days are left until a date. By default they point to your wedding date, but you can set a custom date for any other milestone. It's a fun way to build excitement as the big day gets closer!
​

Show days until your wedding with a live countdown.
​

Count down to any other date like a rehearsal dinner, welcome party, or engagement anniversary.
​

Add multiple countdowns by creating a separate countdown section for each date you want to track.
​

Customize the format of how the countdown displays.
​

Add descriptions for before and after the date.
​

Automatically switch from counting down to counting up after the date.
​

Countdown format: How the number displays. Default is "days" but you could customize it.
​

Countdown date: Optional. Leave blank to count down to your wedding date. Set a date here to count down to something else — a rehearsal dinner, a welcome party, an anniversary — and add a second countdown section for each extra date you want to track.
​

Description before date: Text that appears with the countdown before your wedding. Like "until we say I do!"
​

Description after date: Text that appears after your wedding. Like "since we tied the knot!"
​

The countdown automatically calculates days until the target date. If you leave the countdown date blank, it uses your wedding date from your account settings. If you set a custom date, it counts down to that date instead.
​

Before the date: It shows "X days until we say I do!" (or whatever you wrote).
​

On the day: It shows "0 days" (it's finally here!).
​

After the date: It switches to counting up. "X days since we tied the knot!"
​

Make the countdown feel personal:
​

Before wedding:
- "until we say I do!"
- "to the best day ever!"
- "until the celebration begins!"
- "until forever starts!"
​

After wedding:
- "since we tied the knot!"
- "of married life!"
- "since we said I do!"
- "and counting!"
​

Keep it short and sweet. The number is the star of this section!
​

The default format is "days" but depending on your theme, you might be able to change this to:
- Just the number with your custom text
- "X days" formatted differently
- Different time units
​

Check what options your theme provides.
​

Want to count down to something other than the wedding? Set a custom date in the Countdown date field and the countdown will track that date instead. A few ideas:
​

Add a second countdown section for each extra date you want to track — there's no limit.
​

Add it near the top. Countdowns work great on your home page where everyone can see them.
​

Keep it visible. Don't hide it deep in your site. The countdown is fun, show it off!
​

Update your wedding date. If your date changes, update it in settings and the countdown adjusts automatically (unless you've set a custom date, in which case update the countdown date directly).
​

Remove it after a while. Once you've been married for months or years, you might want to remove the countdown. Or keep it! It's up to you.
​

As soon as you set your date. Get guests excited from the very beginning.
​

When you launch your site. A countdown is a fun first element to add.
​

For engagement announcements. Show how far away the big day is.
​

You can add it anytime, but sooner is more fun!
​

The countdown itself updates automatically based on the target date. You're just changing the descriptive text around it.
​

Update your wedding date in Settings > General. Any countdown that's using your wedding date will automatically recalculate.
​

Countdown sections with a custom Countdown date set aren't affected by changes to your wedding date — update the custom date directly on the section if it changes.
​

You can also customize:
​

Space above and below: Adjust padding around the countdown.
​

Colors: Change text and background colors.
​

Fonts: The countdown might use special formatting based on your theme.
​

Privacy: Make it visible to everyone or just certain guests.
​

These options are in the section editor.
​

The countdown automatically switches to counting up after your wedding day. This is a sweet reminder of how long you've been married!
​

You can keep it or delete it. Some couples love keeping the count going, others prefer to remove it and replace it with anniversary content.
​

Countdown sections are fun and build anticipation. Guests love seeing the days tick down to your big celebration!
